-acknowledges that pregnancy is stressful and dangerous, childbirth is a genuine risk to the parent's life, and parenting is a difficult responsibility
-affirms that the person who is pregnant should have the right to decide whether or not to be pregnant, and that an unwanted pregnancy is an imposition of the right to bodily autonomy
-understands and articulates that bodily autonomy is a person's inherent ownership of their body, and that if this ownership is taken away by a partner or a government, that's a violation of their right
-believes that regardless of a spiritual determination of if or when a fetus has a soul, a person still has the ultimate right refuse to be pregnant.
anti-choice "pro life" mpreg:
-believes that pregnancy is ultimately and automatically rewarding, and sees any complication of pregnancy as either a challenge to be overcome or a threat to the baby*, not the parent.
-believes that a womb is owned by those making use of it, not the host parent supporting it. therefore the primary owner and rights holder of a pregnancy is the baby, and secondarily the partner that caused the pregnancy (i.e the alpha male). believes that a pregnant person only owns their body in so far as they have a duty to protect and care for their baby to term.
-sees pregnancy as a matter of submission, duty, and responsibility to others, not as a medical condition that threatens a person's life and personal autonomy. takes for granted that a person's pregnancy would be automatically subject to others' concerns and agendas.
-doesn't believe in personal autonomy, can't articulate the concept that everyone, even people with wombs, should own every part of themself and have the ultimate say in what happens to them, even when that say displeases their superiors or denies life to an unborn baby.
-believes that a fetus has a soul and that to refuse to carry a pregnancy to term is the same as killing an innocent person. believes that a baby's right to be born is paramount and its parent is automatically subject to this right from the moment they recognize their pregnancy.
*-believes it's a 'baby' from conception through birth, ignoring or mistaking the medical terms of zygote, embryo, and fetus as irrelevant to its ultimate status as a baby.
in conclusion: pro-life mpreg sometimes features miscarriages and challenges to the parents' ability to carry to term, while pro-choice mpreg sometimes features an inability for the parent to terminate their pregnancy even when they want to. however, pro-life mpreg is written to affirm the rewards of pregnancy and a baby's 'right' to be born, while pro-choice mpreg is written to acknowledge and explore the challenges and dangers inherent in pregnancy, while affirming the (often violated) right a pregnant person has to self-determination.
