EZ---self explanatory. I posted proof on those MAN-made catch phrases before..look em up yourself. <font color=orange>"Women must have control over their own bodies." "Safe and legal abortion is every woman's right." "Who decides? You decide!" "Freedom of choice -- a basic American right."</font> The "pro-choice movement's" emotionally compelling slogans --<font color=orange> fierce rallying cries of the most successful political marketing campaign in modern history,</font> which made abortion-on-demand legal in the U.S. -- have been powerful rhetorical weapons for fighting off efforts to reverse Roe v. Wade, coming up on its 30th anniversary next month. <font color=orange>"I remember laughing when we made those slogans up,"</font> recalls <font color=blue>Bernard Nathanson, M.D., co-founder of pro-abortion group NARAL, </font>reminiscing about the early days of the pro-abortion movement in the late '60s and early '70s. "We were looking for some sexy, catchy slogans to capture public opinion. They were very cynical slogans then, just as all of these slogans today are very, very cynical."
