I'm all for abortion rights, but I really dislike when demonstrators use the slogan My Body My Choice so narrowly. I feel like they stole a slogan that could have been used to legalize and normalize suicide.
First, it completely leaves out men.
Second, it basically is saying people should have autonomy over their bodies, but the demonstrators are only asking for autonomy over their uteri.
My Body My Choice is exactly what we should be fighting for. It would include, at the very least:
The right to peaceful suicide without having to jump though hoops.
The right to use any drugs a person wants (including abortion pills).
The right to elective surgery (including abortion).
I'm sure there are more that would be included.
