Oh, but I’m sure you can. Choice, you see, implies that either option, abortion or carrying to term, can result. “Pro-choice” does not mean that abortions are the inevitable, preferred end to pregnancy. Rather, it means that the pregnant woman, and nobody else, is the one to make that decision. Amazingly enough, one can be “pro-choice” and “pro-life”* at the same time without any conflict whatsoever.
In any case, I personally find the term, pro-life, to be indistinct and, in some cases, contrary to one’s true position.
There were teens choosing abortion and a courtship (Vera’s daughter and Reg). Before the police came 'round, the family did laugh a lot at the dinner table.
I always thought Green Eggs and Ham was a simple, innocent and whimsical kids tale about a keeping an open mind. But now I see it’s an allegory about american racial discrimination in the 50s and 60s.
Charles Schultz also wrote a script where Linus asks Lucy “What if there were a wonderful, beautiful child waiting in heaven to be born, but his parents already had two children and thought that was enough?” Lucy replies “Your ignorance of theology and biology is appalling.” Linus answers “Well, I still think it’s a good question.”
Schultz got requests from both groups in the abortion issue asking to use it for their side. He was surprised, as he had written it simply to show how children often talk about things they don’t know much about. He refused to give permissin to either side.
