A recent episode<\/a> of the Canadian podcast “Pro-Life Guys” addressed an “education” brochure<\/a>\u00a0from Canada’s leading abortion rights organization. The brochure, called “How to Think About the Fetus,” alleges that “[f]ocusing on the fetus always has dire legal and social\u00a0consequences for women” and wrongly implies that pro-life groups only care about the preborn child.<\/p>\n

“As soon as we give special rights\u00a0to fetuses, we separate them from their mothers and create\u00a0an adversarial relationship that hurts both,” the group\u00a0Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada claims in the PDF document. It states:<\/p>\n

Focusing on the fetus also devalues women, because it\u00a0usurps their moral decision-making, as well as their bodies\u00a0and wombs. When we protect the interests of fetuses, we sacrifice\u00a0women’s rights and autonomy, and end up harming their\u00a0children in the long run.” The group then ventures into the realm of the bizarre with the assertion that “We can trust pregnant women to act\u00a0in the best interests of their fetuses \u2013 and that can mean\u00a0having an abortion<\/strong>.” [emphasis added]<\/em><\/p>\n
