    Eh. I don’t see why we need to use vague terms when we could use specific ones.

      Because people need to think of abortions access as health care. The same as cancer treatment, diagnosing illness, or getting stitches. And that starts with messaging.

      Abortion is health care.

        That’s fine, but it seems disingenuous to use the general term ‘health care’ when you could be more specific with what that health care actually is.

          I don’t think it’s disingenuous at all. It’s treatment for a woman’s health. Calling out people for disapproving of health care is half the point.

          Abortion is health care.

            I mean, you literally said to call it by a general term to get people to think a certain way about it.

            I feel like we should tell them the specific information and let them make their own decision instead of resorting to sly tricks like this.

              It’s not a trick. It’s health care. People should think of it as health care because it is.

              Abortion is health care.

                Alright. I don’t think you’re going to see my point so I’ll just duck out.

                Have a nice day.
