(LifeSiteNews) – The next time you hear “my body, my choice” screamed at you, it would be good to politely remind the activists they are not supposed to say “my choice” anymore — it offends liberal women.
Activists in the know, for example, are now using a more emphatic and clunkier “my body, my decision.” In fact, liberal protesters, including Democratic “Squad” congresswomen Pramila Jayapal (Wash.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.), and Ayanna Pressley (Mass.) chanted “my body, my decision” while walking to the Senate to ask for abortion “rights” on May 11. It’s official. The leftist site The New Republic reports that Planned Parenthood and radical feminists are expunging the use of “choice” from their lexicon. The move is surprising since “choice” has long been the weapon of choice in the feminist arsenal of words. It conveys the fuzzy idea of casual “freedom” that appeals to many people.
That’s the problem. It’s too casual.
Everything must trigger a crisis in a woke climate of expanding sensitivity.
