Can it be false dichotomy?As you all have heard of the Roe v. Wade decision (I presume), the classic debate spreads like wildfire everywhere in social media. However, I saw one very interesting take on this debate amongst all the chaos, surprisingly on twitter from all places. It went like this: "Most "pro-choice" adults are opposed to late-term abortions (3rd trimester); however, their argument that entails "my body, my choice" doesn't hold up. You are either full pro-choice or not, the phrase my body my choice still applies to late-term abortions, the baby is still in the woman's body, hence she can do whatever she wants with her body, isn't it so? But then why most are opposed to late-term abortions? it's because they agree with "pro-life" that in the 3rd trimester, the baby is to be considered human, and therefore it would be murder if she chooses to abort. Most "pro-choice" hold 2 contradicting beliefs, you're either pro-choice all the way, supporting the woman's complete freedom over her body, or you are not, because that's what "my body, my choice" means . The fact that they believe women should have complete control over their body then oppose that by saying they can't abort in the 3rd trimester is logically inconsistent" He went on to say that how both pro's beliefs are grounded on the same basis, that both value the human life, it's just that pro-lifers don't think a fetus is a human in the 1st and 2nd trimester but do so in the 3rd. |

I think this is a False Dichotomy. I think it’s also a case of Accident—applying a universal without exception. Does a woman have a right to ingest something radioactive and endanger herself and others? Does she have a right not to be vaccinated because it’s her body? These questions don’t have black and white solutions |
