Message irony

I have seen a number of signs or shirts reading “Not your body, Not your choice!” I find this fascinating since the so-called “prochoice” disciples who display this message are so clearly unaware of the irony of that display. Consider how a fetus, who instinctively wants merely to survive and to thrive, might sub-vocally communicate with one (who wants it to be executed) might phrase that communication. Might it not “say” to its mother: “Not your body, Not your choice!”
