Here's a typical pro-choice blog article, titled:
"If You Don't Like the Idea of Abortion, Don't Get One"
To see the effect of this kind of pro-choice campaign, based on a "logic" that denies that there is a moral issue at all, imagine if the issue were murder itself, not abortion. How would you feel if people told you:
"If You Don't Like the Idea of Murder, Don't Murder Anybody"
You'd be furious! Right? Well how do you think the pro-life people react when they see the pro-choice slogans?
The refusal of the pro-choice camp to acknowledge that abortion entails any degree of murderousness whatsoever (as opposed to arguing that it is justified when the degree is small enough and the benefit to the woman is great enough) leads logically to a defense of infanticide. A major journal of medical ethics has an article in which the authors--quite seriously--employ the pro-choice camp's "there's no moral issue at all" logic to argue in favor of the right of a woman to kill her perfectly healthy baby after it is born for any reason whatsoever including the mere personal convenience of the mother.
The article is titled, "After-birth abortion: why should the baby live?" It posits: "A serious philosophical problem arises when the same conditions that would have justified abortion become known after birth. In such cases, we need to assess facts in order to decide whether the same arguments that apply to killing a human fetus can also be consistently applied to killing a newborn human."
People in the pro-life camp intuitively know where this pro-choice "logic" leads, and they are understandably appalled by it.
More to the point, how do you think the ruling class reacts when they see the pro-choice camp doing the equivalent of sticking their tongue out at people who are concerned about preventing murder and yelling the slogan equivalent of "f*ck you, I'll murder if I want to; if you don't like murder then don't murder anybody." The ruling class laughs all the way to the bank, enjoying watching their divide-and-rule strategy humming along nicely.
