First - We are 55 and have spent many years of our lives as one-issue voters fighting for and supporting choice.
As such, we noticed a trend and screamed at anyone that would listen when hollywood caved to the religious right in the 90's and programming on "choice" gave us Murphy Brown, Rosanne/Darlene, Rachel from friends, Juno...... consistently presented women who when forced with a choice, resolved the issue by declaring that "strong women" choose NOT to have an abortion. This was a huge shift from the 80's (fast times at ridgmont high, last averican virgin, dirty dancing, ...) when women were strong by making either choice. But few seemed to listen.
We saw the results in the amount of young women who while supportive of "reproductive rights" for women would never choose abortion. It felt like instead of being pro-choice, they felt there was a right choice and a wrong choice....
Now, today - the fight in the media and on ballots seem to have totally abandoned the term "pro-choice" and replaced with "reproductive rights" and we wonder why? We have ideas, but would love to hear civil discussions of what the movement is as we remain proudly PRO-CHOICE people
