"The belief that something is a “baby” the second sperm meets egg
comes straight out of the patriarchal notion that any important,
creative work must be done by men.
Therefore, it’s a “baby” when the man has done his job,
and the woman’s work is just servant-class maintenance,
using her body to attend to the man’s creation before and after it’s born."

It's not about the sad stories of women who never got to know their unborn children,
it's not about the fetuses "victim" of abortion,
it's not about the morality involved,
nor is it about the women who decided on abortion and now regret their choice.
It is about the government placing limitations on women and their lives, as well as the other 90% of the pro-choice movement which involves sexual health, education and awareness, contraception, counseling, adoption, and more.
