How in the name of reason is a forced pregnancy the liberation of a fetus and not the reproductive enslavement of a woman?

I bring your attention to this coprolite devoid of judicial, legal and philosophical reason :

[via Catholic Online]:

I end by using the expression, "Free State" with great intentionality. At another critical time in our Nations history another evil was once "sanctioned" by the Supreme Court, the "owning" of human beings as property. The Court was wrong then it is wrong now. For a while, some States were "Free States" and some were "Slave States." After Roe is overturned, that will probably occur once again. Our work will not be over with the coming demise of Roe v. Wade, it only begins. Our goal is not simply to expose and oppose the current anti-culture of death; it is to build a new culture of life, and a civilization of love to replace it.

GoogleNews and Yahoo!News have decided that no feminist blogs will be rotated as part of their sources covering abortion and reproductive rights while fascist Catholic crap like this gets promoted by them as newsworthy. Which is why, all I get on my GoogleNews alerts are anti-choice, dominionist "news sources" on the topic of abotion like Catholic.org. And all I get to read ... oh, yipee ... is stupidity like the one quoted here.

This meme of "striking down Roe is like striking down Dred Scott" has got to end.

Feminists need to be more pointed and forceful in their language :

* Not just "a woman's right to choose" but "an American's right to choose" because it reminds everybody, not just the pregnacists, that women are citizens too.

* The opposite of "pro-life" is not pro-choice. It's forced and coerced pregnancy.

* Forced and coerced pregnancies do not lead to willful giving up the newborns for adoptions. Since a forced and coerced pregnancy negates a woman's right to choose and her will, the births lead to using women for human harvesting.

Enough of the bullshit metaphors around women's reproductive autonomy. We need to paint the picture of our reproductive enslavement just exactly as it has already been in history, how it already exists the present so that the painted future will be understood not as far fetched but too dangerous a reality.
