To me, this once again highlights the desperate evasiveness of the term “pro-choice.” The language completely diverts away from the real issue: abortion. It demonstrates how really uncomfortable most people are with the idea of abortion. The language of “choice” is just a cover to get around talking directly about abortion. It is not some consistent, well-thought out philosophy – as we see here, the people interviewed have not applied the same thinking to other issues. A woman should have the “choice” for an abortion, but others can’t have a choice about their own health or weight?
These people are pro-choice as long as they approve of the choice. Hence, they can say they’re “pro-choice” and yet support mandates that severely restrict the religious liberty of Catholic institutions while demanding that our tax dollars should fund birth control and abortion.
The hypocrisy goes on…
