Abortion is Pro Life

Abortion is Pro Life
Abortion is a moral right—which should be left to the sole discretion of the woman involved; morally, nothing other than her wish in the matter is to be considered. Who can conceivably have the right to dictate to her what disposition she is to make of the functions of her body?

— Ayn Rand

Essays on Abortion

Abortion Rights are Pro-Life by Leonard Peikoff Roe V. Wade Anniversary Still Finds Defense of the Right to Abortion Compromised.

Abortion: An Absolute Right by the Association for Objective Law Despite Roe v. Wade's ruling giving women the right to abortion, the Court reached this decision by balancing a woman's rights against the State's 'interests' in her health and in that of potential life. As long as the right to abortion may be overridden by any 'state interests,' however, a woman has no right to do with her body as she sees fit.

Supreme Court Should Protect Right to Abortion in Current Partial-Birth Case by Glenn Woiceshyn Anti-abortionists are making a comeback. A woman's right to abortion is rapidly being eroded by the proliferation of state laws banning certain types of abortions.

Anti-Abortion "Pro-Life" Movement is Anti-Life by Christian Beenfeldt
The "pro-life" movement is not a defender of human life--it is, in fact, a profound enemy of actual human life and happiness. Its goal is to turn women into breeding mares whose body is owned by the state and whose rights, health and pursuit of happiness are sacrificed en mass.

The Religious Right's Culture of Living Death by Alex Epstein
Human life is sacred--not because of supernatural declaration, but because of the unique nature and glorious potential of the individual, rational human life: to think, to create, to love, to experience pleasure, to achieve happiness here on earth.

Abortion is Not Murder: So-Called "Pro-Life Movement" is Anti-Human by Christian Beenfeldt
An embryo is not a human being, and abortion is not murder. The "pro-life" movement is not a defender of human life--it is, in fact, a profound enemy of actual human life and happiness.
