Living intheflow of time

I hate that term, choice, because it's as polite and milquetoast and unambiguous as saying gay people are living a lifestyle choice!

It's not about the woman's right to choose whether or not to keep a fetus, it's about a woman's right to control her own body! Once we abdicated that argument, once we gave up that basic human right--to control one's own body and destiny--by coyly referring to it as a choice, we elevated a (undevelped human) fetus' rights above a (fully developed) woman's human rights.
