I can't tell if your response is satire. I don't care about spinning words. The act of aborting a baby is called "abortion". If you condone the act then it's "pro-abortion". A "choice" is a more generic term and can mean literally anything. I'm "pro-choice" when I choose to drink tea over water, etc.... Since we're talking about abortion, let's be specific.
Anyway just putting the info out. "Arguments" like this one are too pedantic for me. Enjoy.
These videos show 4 or 5 individuals DISCUSSING actions. How do you, in your mind, extend that to 700 Planned Parenthood locations and 59 affiliated groups?
Guilt by association? Damnation by emotion?
Follow up: what do you want to do with fetal tissue ... throw it away? Burn it?

First of all, I think we should pay special attention to the "Political Correctness" at play in these discussions ... we aren't talking about fetal tissue anymore, we're talking about "baby parts."
Much more visceral effect, don't you think?
I just want these people to answer one question: if the fetal tissues are not going to be used in research, what is going to be done with them (or their extracts, etc.) throw them away?
That would create a new politically correct term for fetal tissue: "garbage."

Cremation of the child would be preferable.

Goes both ways. Pro-Choice is so much softer than Pro-Abortion.

Question: Should 50% of your DNA rent your girlfriend's uterus for 9 mos. only, or is that a purchase price good for multiple stays for your DNA?
Question: Don't you wish you could get pregnant? Then the decision and obligation of how to spend the next 18-20 years of your life (at minimum) could be all yours (well, except in the world you want to live in, it would be yours, your partner's, and the State's, but still.)

Why? Do you know what happens during cremation? The flesh is burned until it melts and drips off the bone. Have you ever smelled burning flesh? How is that not just as gross as mincing brains?
Burying a body is gross too. The flesh also melts off the bone during decomposition, only much slower than cremation.
What happens to the body after death is just plain gross, but it's a fact of life. Might as well put the body to good use - shows much more respect for it than burning the flesh or letting it decompose.

What do you think is done with the baby parts that aren't distributed?

No, there's an actual difference that is VERY specific and means quite a bit. One can be pro-choice but anti-abortion. One can't be pro-abortion but anti-choice. It would be nice if the pro-life crowd would attempt to understand this difference.

Why do you care so much? It's dead tissue. That's all. Yes, it COULD have been a full human, but it wasn't. It's dead now. It's not going to do anything else but decompose or burn. If it could be used to save lives that already ARE human and have many social connections to other humans, then I think that would be a good use for that tissue.

I didn't say the terms weren't different. I said that Pro-Abortion people like to hide behind the softer term Pro-Choice.
I'm Pro-Responsibility. I support adoption, abstinence, contraception, and taking the child to term if you made the choice to willingly engage in sexual activity. There are consequences for actions.

Because that person was a human being and deserves to be treated with dignity, not like a stolen car at a chop shop.
