April Reign has a small graphic on her blog which implies that in the minds of the pro-life movement, fetuses are persons, but women aren't.
Isn't it about time someone called them out on that?
It's as if rights are a zero-sum game: if fetuses have rights, that means women have NO rights.
Ergo women are not persons.
The mark of a discriminatory movement is that it feels threatened when another group of human beings is recognized. The discriminatory group plays the victim card when contemplating the prospect of legal recognition for the oppressed group.
Women were persons before 1969, when abortion was legalized in Canada. To say they were not is hysterical rhetoric. Women are very capable to adapting to a world where all human beings are recognized as equals. They do not need the power to kill to be equal.
It's just that feminism has made killing some of them a foundational tenet.
