Redefining the 'right' to choose.

Introduction to the piece:

It's time to ditch the spin and tell the truth about why women have abortions, and what would happen if they were denied them.

There is also a new range of behaviors with the creation of life and stem cells and secret abortions.

Pro-choice advocates know we must move on from the slogans of the past because social concerns have changed. The advance of reproductive technologies and fetal medicine has stimulated an interest in the development of life before birth that did not exist 30 years ago. In the 1970s, abortion was seen as an issue affecting a woman (‘Our bodies, our lives, our right to decide’). Now public opinion is increasingly concerned with the fetus (‘Does it feel pain? Does it have rights?’). In the 1970s, women’s equality was an ambition to be fought for; now many believe it has been achieved. The language of the ‘right to choose’, which once seemed central to women’s freedom, now makes many people uncomfortable.
