[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anti-choice is really anti-freedom of religion. It is one group of people with strong religious beliefs (and don't try to hide behind a concept of morals as under a true ethics system, abortion would be a different conversation) trying to force their beliefs on others. [/quote]

Actually, anti-choice is anti women's sexuality.  It's the incarnation of the scarlet letter and other punitive measures to limit women's sexual freedom and to make women "pay" for having sex and getting pregnant.  If this were really and truly about preserving life and ensuring every conceived embryo makes it to full term babyhood, we would, as a society, insist upon:

- Ensure healthcare, and specifically prenatal care, for all women regardless of insurance coverage
- Healthcare benefits for every single child regardless of their parent's income
- Provide affordable childcare to every single family in this country
- Ensure parental leave for all parents
- Properly fund public education
- Hold fathers as accountable for child care and support as mothers
- Provide women with free access to contraception

But we don't.  Because this really isn't about life.  It's about controlling women - our version of Sharia law.  [/quote]

Whoa. You're pretty "out there."[/quote]

Actually, PP is pretty accurate.[/quote]

Regarding recommendations, yes; [b]regarding Sharia law comparison, no.[/quote][/b]

Explain the difference.  ... Because, really, there isn't a difference in the motivations behind these types of laws.  They're about controlling women and making them culpable for their sexuality.  But if you can draw the distinction, please go for it.[/quote]
Access to abortion varies greatly between different Muslim-majority countries and it is a matter of law for Muslims.  In countries like Turkey and Tunisia, abortions are unconditionally legal on request. In countries like Iraq and Egypt, abortion in only legal if the life of the mother is threaten. There is no Muslim-majority county that completely bans abortion.  There is a Hadith that says it is considered murder after 4 months so yea, Ohio worse than Sharia in terms of woman's rights in this respect. [/quote]
