Discussion Do you think both pro-choice topics in politics (assisted suicide and abortion) should be discussed totally separated or not?

I am ambivalent about it. Sometimes I am annoyed that both are associated with the label pro-choice it can lead to misunderstandings.
But I am on both very liberal. There were critics who said that in this forum there is a too strong competition who is the most pro-choice person. I think this could be true. It is a difficult topic to talk about without becoming too obsessed about ideologies and labels.

I think being pro-choice on abortion is globally speaking more widespread. In Germany liberal assisted suicide laws are more controversial than abortion rights. But polls show Germans welcome both.

Many dogmatic religious people oppose both. The US has way more of them than in Germany.

I don't have a good input but I am interested in good replies.

Everything should be separated from politics.

Here, I'd only create even more enemies, harassment, heat and anger around it. Anything that gets politized will get a huge chunk of people rationalizing hating on it and have even more conflict than it already has.

I am not sure whether you understood my question right. Not the topics should separated from politics. But both of the topics should discussed in completely separate ways as if there was no connection between them.

I am not a native speaker it is probably my fault.

I think that these two topics should be approached separately.

I support abortion on demand and euthanasia.
I am generally liberal in many things.

But I would not like the discussion about abortion to be combined with the discussion about euthanasia.
Of course, both of these topics have a common denominator: the autonomy of one's own body.
But I think that in this situation it is better to focus on one topic.

The topic of abortion and euthanasia is polarizing enough, so there is no need to make the situation worse.
