[MAINSTREAM ABORTION RIGHTS RHETORIC NEEDS TO CHANGE] - let's talk about the human rights abuses committed by anti-choicers & the morality of abortion bans

Introduction Current mainstream abortion rights rhetoric involves talking points such as our futures, our finances, and our health. While these are important talking points, there are so many more human rights abuses that are committed by the anti-choice movement that go unspoken in the mainstream. Abortion rights and the right to bodily autonomy needs to expand beyond just results-oriented rhetoric.  It needs to call out these human rights abuses.  It needs to call out abortion bans for what they really are - reproductive enslavement. And it needs to call out prolifers for what they really are - the reproductive equivalent of rapists ("she was asking for it because she knew the risks when she had sex.") No longer should we simply be talking about the morality of abortion. In fact,  we should stop talking about it all together . If we are "baby murderers," then they are rape advocates and reproductive enslavers. We need to talk about the morality of  abortion bans.
