43. If they were really against abortion, they would have made it
illegal a long time ago. Their real focus is the right to privacy. Roe Vs Wade affirmed the right to privacy. To get people excited about Roe Vs Wade, the authoritarian right pretended to be "pro life."

Since those early days they found that they can just privatize the theft of privacy to get around the implicit right to privacy. Roe Vs Wade became less important.

Now all pro life is to them is a way to energize their base.

Pro choice aims to reduce abortions without the coercive force of law. Education, birth control, and access to good health care works well to reduce unwanted pregnancies.
