Question For Pro-Choice People

[CJD]

This question implies that Pro Choice advocates think abortion is "ok."

But without an explicit definition of what "ok" means it's kind of difficult to answer this question.

Do I think it's a good idea for women to smoke and drink during pregnancy? No.
Do I think it's moral to smoke and drink during pregnancy? No.
Do I think women should be imprisoned and potentially put to death for smoking or drinking during pregnancy? No.

There's often a conflation between "Pro-choice" and "Pro-abortion." Many Pro Choice people would never advocate or even fathom having an abortion. But making abortions illegal is just a way to control women, their rights and their bodies, which is an inherently incongruous way of treating people (as there is no way to apply similar rules or laws onto men). Especially if abortions begin being equated to murder from a legal perspective...

So I guess my answer would be "It's not okay, but it shouldn't be made punishable by the legal system either."
