Interesting sticker

[geminigirl]

Seen on a car at the building I work in:

"If it's not a choice, you're not pregnant."

It's an interesting and different anti-choice sentiment. It doesn't change my mind, but it's certainly not the way it's usually said.

yeah i think if i really think about it, they're trying to say "if you managed to get pregnant, you chose to have sex". Which overall is a stupid argument because it leaves out any sort of forced participation, from the really bad stuff like rape all the way down to the man poking holes in his condom because he wants an heir. (do people still do that?)

I still think it sounds like a pro-choice message, personally. If you don't have a choice, that means you aren't pregnant. If you're pregnant, you have a choice.

Could also be a take-off on the "It's not a choice- it's a child" stickers. Which would also point towards pro-choice.

Personally, I can't figure any way of reading it that makes it anti-choice, unless there's some related info I'm just missing.

geminigirl, enlighten us! :)

The other blatantly pro-life sticker on the car.

And the one from one of the catholic schools which says (name of school"-pro life, pro-pope, pro-family...

*laugh* Okay, then.

I definitely still think it's a badly done sticker, in any case.
