about the pro-choice phrase, “My body, my choice.” 

It’s basically saying women should be able to do whatever they want with their body.

But if that’s true…. why aren’t more people standing up for a women’s right to prostitute herself? If she wants to sell her body for money, that’s her choice. And throughout American, this choice - nay - this RIGHT of her’s, is being denied. I mean, let’s not get to the root of the problem and actually try to understand why these women would put themselves in this horrible situation so we can try to help them…. let’s just make prostitution legal everywhere. 

The case for making prostitution against the law begins with the premise that it’s exploitative and demeaning to women…. One of the first feminists, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, on the topic of abortion said, “When you consider that women have been treated as property, it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit.”

Hmmm….

In my mind, if the issue was really about having the right to do whatever you want with your body, we would have more advocates for making prostitution legal.

Because by allowing prostituion to remain illegal, you are accepting the fact that you cannot do whatever you want with your body…. but no one seems to care about that. 

Maybe this “right” to do whatever you want with your body is not the real issue we need to be focusing on in the abortion debate.
