Liberal Irony

Here is a statement about the "Freedom of Choice Act" that is being pushed by NARAL (Pro-Choice America):

Following the Supreme Court’s closely divided and bitter decision upholding the Federal Abortion Ban, it is clear that the right to choose is facing a new level of assault. That’s why the pro-choice community is working to guarantee the right to choose through the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) – a measure that will codify Roe v. Wade and guarantee the right to choose for future generations of women.

Does anyone else see the irony, or just poor choice of wording in the above statement? More specifically, I'm referring to the last line - "...guarantee the right to choose for future generations of women."

The future generations of women that aren't aborted, of course. They're not actually concerned about the rights of those they choose to kill, only the ones they choose to allow to live...

If you find this as absurd as I do, visit the ACLJ and watch their video about it - at the end there is a petition to sign.
