As we all know, there are extremes to every ideology and belief. So what do you consider the extreme of the pro-choice position?

Please stick to discussing the extremes of the pro-choice position in this thread. We can make another thread for the opposite position. Thanks.
 
i would think just the notion of being ok with killing babies is radical in its own right...

i mean in just a century(1900-2000) we have gone from every state to not allowing abortion to every one forced to have abortion clinics, what the hell happened!!!!

We also abolished slavery not long ago. What the hell happened?

P.S. Abortions was legal for much of history of the US. FYI, my Russian friend.
 
abortion letalized after 70 years of debate

slaverly legalized after hundreds of years of debate

again that was centuries of debate, abortion took 70 years to compltely unwind public opinion

something massive happened
 
1. Making it illegal.

2. Stopping people from having one before viability, aka, the point in time in which the fetus can survive outside the womb with reasonable success (This, to rule out a 20 week rule, since just about 0% survive then)
 
Abortion to further the goals of eugenics.

First off, it was just a century prior to RvW that abortion was already legal, and then went illegal over a few decades, state by state.

Secondly, there is not a single forcing a state to have a clinic. I'll grant that you probably view not being able to deny one being present as force to have one, but that isn't reality. Being forced to have one would be telling the state they are required to have a clinic, even if there was no one who wanted to open one in that state.

Slavery had existed for centuries. Abortion being illegal barely existed at all.

Well, since abortion has to do with pregnancy...killing a born child has nothing to do with being pro choice .

Fair enough. That's the only thing I could think of to answer OP as to what would constitute an extreme position for a pro-choice position.

Being pro-choice has to do with abortion. Killing born children has nothing to do with abortion.

Abortion was relatively common place during the Great Depression.

IIRC, still technically illegal. The bulk of the states made abortion illegal around 1860's, with a few being earlier.

Illegal but accepted widely.

Those, of course, aren’t pro-choice positions. What’s an extreme pro-choice stance?

Abortion for eugenics (except medical nature ones where the baby might not be born with a functioning heart or brain or is born with a death sentence and will never have a chance to grow up).

Abortion during the third trimester or beyond for a perfectly healthy offspring.

Any sort of forced abortion.
