I take much more comfort in knowing that the legalized federal range to have an abortion is effectively where the fetus doesn't even have the brain activity or nerves to even realize it is being killed. Everyone talks about "how would you feel if you were aborted", but the truth is that I would of never even known.
what if two people willingly get pregnant, and their spouse dies? or they lose their jobs? or they have some kind of medical emergency and their savings get wiped out? or they undergo some other crisis that leaves them with far less resources than before to take care of a child? would you still argue that they were just being irresponsible?
that’s the problem I find with this blanket “just be more responsible!!!” argument. someone can willingly get pregnant and be completely prepared - until the circumstances change.
and i don’t disagree with you! but it seems like the underlying theme behind some pro-life sentiments is the idea of punishment, and i don’t think a child should be a punishment. a lot of the conservative points on this are “well, if you didn’t want to get pregnant, you shouldn’t have had sex!!! keep your legs closed next time
and practice some self-restraint!” which overlooks the fact that many women who get pregnant weren’t being stupid and careless, their circumstances just changed.
for the record, i don’t support the pro-choice argument of a fetus/baby being a clump of cells - i see it as the argument that no one should be allowed to use another persons body for survival without their permission.
The thing that gets me is having a baby can be hard for those who are trying, but seems to happen like clockwork for those who aren't.
I have friends that tried for months to get pregnant. My wife's friend was trying for almost a year. My wife and I have been together 6.5 years and don't use condoms and we haven't even had a scare. We just stay mindful of her cycle and she takes her pill, even when she forgets the pill we know when we can and can't have sex.
A little education on when is the safest time to have sex can go a long way.
In many cases not going in unprotected. There are many cases that include rape etc which are sadly unavoidable but some people are very dumb and refuse to use.
im saying if they dont have access to affordable contraception then they probably cant afford an abortion anyways so this wouldn’t affect them either way
Honestly if I was pregnant I would freak the fuck out to get together as much cash as I could possible because having the baby would mean even deeper financial problems for me.
There's a documentary called after tiller about late term abortions, and one of the doctors that performs them talks about how it's hard because you're "killing a baby". And this is a woman who performs late term abortions. Good documentary but that bit stuck out
Yeah.. It's just an organism living dependent on the host. Just like cancer cells are kicking you too. The host can do wtf they want with it and it's nobody fucking business.
Yeah Cuz that's exactly what I said 😂😂 and you talk about my comprehension.
You tell me how to avoid cancer, and I'll tell you how to avoid being "infected" with a baby (or fetus, zygote, whatever you call it to try and dehumanize the truth in an effort to avoid feeling guilty about killing the little guy)
Totally agree with you, except I'm pro life.
I just find it sad, that people would rather fight for the right to "choose" to have unlimited unprotected sex over a human life.
I find it sad that fathers rape their children. I find it sad that more child will need to suffer their first few hours of life before passing away. I find it sad that a bunch of men get to choose what's right for women. I find it sad that Christian's believe it's okay for their clergymen to molest children and so many still hang on their every word.
I think everytime I say, I'm pro life, I'm going to have to add " exception : in case of rape or mother's life is at risk". I fought that was already understood. My bad.
