One can be anti-choice and not stand for a centralized authoritarian government.
A hardcore libertarian that believes protecting human life is the first and only role of a government can be anti-choice. They’d be wrong on a number of levels, but that’s still a logical progression that works. Dude you call a fascist is basically that take in human form.
Either you don’t know what authoritarian means and think it means “any time a law passes I don’t like” or you are deliberately being obtuse.
Any idiot can copy a definition, but you’re not supposed to just twist it and make it mean whatever you want. You may as well not even copy the definition at that point.
You can’t really do that without being a hypocrite because opposing abortion is inherently authoritarian.
Honestly, if this was 6, maybe 7 years ago, I’d agree with you, but the political lines have been cut so deeply amongst the American people that it really is disingenuous to say that real nuance like that can exist anymore. Even the rare cases where it does – and people like that are rare, and always oppose abortion for religious reasons – indicates people who are or will be taken in by that cult.
Most importantly, no one is ever going to change their minds on the issue, rendering debate pointless and impossible. Abortion will probably end up being the key issue that splits the country apart completely.
Banning abortion is not inherently authoritarian. If the argument comes from the idea of it being murder, it is absolutely not authoritarian to prevent murder.
You and I might disagree with that, but “authoritarian” really does mean something. It’s not any time someone tries to control you.
As a person with extreme problems with authority and who is extremely pro abortion, it is very draining to keep explaining this.
Yes it is, because it requires violating the rights of others to achieve. It inherently denies rights, freedoms and choices, and unironically is the only actual murder happening. Abortion bans kill both children and adults. Its self-proclaimed ethical basis is irrelevant; plenty of acts are inherently authoritarian despite being based on some moral principle or another. Revolutions are inherently authoritarian acts, for example. So is opposing abortion.

“Revolutions are inherently authoritarian” is not a take I thought I’d ever read lol
