Gillian, who is pro-choice, when asked how she feels about an athlete who gets pregnant to enhance her performance, then aborts.
In this scenario, the athlete would deliberately become pregnant for the hormonal boost, with the intention of aborting after the athletic event.
[When you abort] “you’re thinking of yourself and you’re thinking about the baby.. It’s not a cold decision.
But getting pregnant in order to kill the baby! Doing it intentionally just doesn’t seem right. Having a baby to kill it, there’s no you in that. You’re just setting out to murder, [to commit] premeditated murder.”
Leslie Cannold The Abortion Myth (Middletown, Connecticut: Wesleyan University Press, 1998) xx
This pro-choicer seems to admit that abortion is the killing of a human being- murder. She excuses abortions on women who are pregnant accidentally but calls it “murder” when the abortion is intended before the pregnancy. What is the difference to the babies?
