Abortion: pro-choice or pro-life?

[My Everything]

I searched and did not find any threads discussing abortion that were still open

 

My thoughts:

 

Pro-choice

 

A fetus is not yet a human being. It is more like a seed or sprout of a human being. It is ‘alive,’ but that is also true of all the other cells in a woman’s body. It has no life of its own yet. It is not yet a separate life from the life of the woman in whose uterus it is.

pro choice, of course.

[Proxima Midnight]

Pro-choice. A woman has the right to do whatever she wants with her body and her life.

[OppawithaVengeance]

I think a fetus is a human being but I'm still pro-choice, people should get to decide regardless. I personally don't see myself ever getting one but ya never kno

Pro-i-dont-care tbh

basically

[Darling]

Pro-choice, but I do empathize a lot with pro-lifers and I personally feel that life begins at conception 

[femellealien]

this topic is a tough one. i know that i personally dont want one and dont wanna be in a situation where i'll have to get it but....pro choice

[vocalmonster]

Pro-life unless the mother's life is in danger. I just feel there are better options than killing an innocent life.

I feel weird saying this as a a woman living in a first world country but its just my opinion. The amount of arguments I've had with my sister over this :/

Pro-choice. And in cases where rape, underrage pregnancy, or incest, has been committed, I think abortion should be mandatory.

[Gugunade]

Pro-life, especially when adoption exist. If you can afford an abortion after being pregnant then you can afford birth control before it. 

[Darling]

Pro-choice. And in cases where rape, underrage pregnancy, or incest, has been committed, then abortion should be mandatory.

 

that makes no sense if you are pro-choice

[darlingunicorn]

If it's an unwanted baby (not unplanned) or result of rape: i'm all pro choice. But there are so many people who use abortion as a birth control i hate it too

 

So i'm not sure. It depends on the situation i guess

[Gaudy]

Pro-choice. A woman has the right to do whatever she wants with her body and her life.

[catdog]

Without any threat of severe birth complications, it should be pro-choice up until about 26 weeks. After that there should be a penalty. More than 90% of babies born at 26 weeks survive so "my body my choice" no longer applies after that point because someone else's body is involved. That is my resolve and I will not change my mind about it.

[You Need Some Milk]

I'm in between this. I agree with pro-choice but I can't stand the type of woman who get like 10 abortions. Unless there are unfortunate circumstances surrounding your reasons for multiple abortions then its okay, but if its just plain irresponsibility please catch these hands.

[UNNIE]

Pro life unless it is a women that was forced into pregnancy by rape or if its a life or death situation for the mother and baby

 

I do find it kind of sick of humans can talk about a baby that will cry, laugh and breath that is a bundle of cells or a seed that has no impact

[myreflections]

i lean on the pro choice but still... i mean...

some just don't give a fuck about protection cause they can abort at any time. and some wait till the fetus gets a heartbeat and do it again and again. at that point for me is like a serial killer of not yet born children

i do think as women, since i am one myself, i should be given the legal possibility of having an abortion but i do think there should be some limitations to it. to be thought in some ways that it does not go against human right of the women or the children, while still giving freedom to have an abortion if needed

maybe it's a sign of hypocrisy, but i personally would agree more with abortion in case of rape or life threatening events than when some do it because "ups..i forgot to wear a condom"

Choice always. The mother's decisions about her body come before the fetus

[kagehina]

pro choice forever

[QueenFrostine]

pro-life

[Cascade]

pro-choice no doubt

[OUO]

Pro-choice.

[dangerous church oppa]

Pro-choice. A woman has the right to do whatever she wants with her body and her life.

I know killing is wrong and all but it's just more convenient.

 

To pro-lifers out there, I have a lot of things to say.

 

If the baby is harmful to the mother, the fetus has got to go.

 

If the mother is a child, are you really going to make her go through something she really doesn't understand? And the child's hips probably aren't big enough to pass a full grown baby, so a doctor probably has to do a c-section. And who's going to pay for the surgery?

 

Also who is going to pay for doctor's appointments and prenatal care, because healthcare is expensive in the U.S.

 

If the mother is a rape victim, and she doesn't want it, are you really going to make her bear her attacker's child?

 

And why can't a woman with an unplanned pregnancy by consensual sex get an abortion? So what if they don't want to stop their life for a child they don't want. So what they don't want to go through 9 months of wacked out hormones of hell, painful childbirth(described by a relative of mine as pushing out a huge shit, but for 12 hours) then 18+ years of parenting. It's not for everyone.

 

Okay, so maybe you say the child can be adopted. But you know how many kids out there are not adopted and end up growing in foster homes? From what I've heard, its not pleasant. Then as the kid gets older they get less likely to be adopted. Then when the kid reaches 18, they are kicked out and maybe provided with 1-3 months rent for a place to live. Life will be much much harder for them.

 

And why add to the problem of unwanted children?

 

And why do you care about an unborn child? Why don't you care about children who are already born, like the kids that are never adopted and end up in foster care(like I mentioned above). There are unwanted children, abused children, malnourished children, and you choose to care about a cluster of cells.

[No1]

Pro-choice.

A woman shouldn't be forced to give birth if she doesn't want to. Not only it could be an unwanted baby, the result of a rape, maybe she didn't use protection (which I do think is dumb, but not illegal), or anticonceptives just failed or the dumbest of all causes: religion. Pregnancy changes a woman's physiology forever and if ahe doesn't want to go through that, it's ber choice to get rid of the fetus; no one else is going to carry the baby so it's easy for them to say stuff like "life begins at conception" "adoption is always an option"; they're not the ones who could be forced, bullied or shamed into changing their way of life; and that is even if the mother wants to change.

What if the mother is a crackhead or an alcoholic? The baby will be born unhealthy and once again put through medical care.

What if the mother who did want a kid found out it's going to be born unhealthy or deformed and could be for their rest of tbeir life? Why bring a child into this world if all it's going to know is suffering, bith emotionally and physically and quite likely shunned by prejudiced and ignorant peers?

Once again, it's the family who will bear with the emotional toll and the expenses in that case, and maybe even for life, not the pro-life proclaimers. It's none of your business.

 

What if the mother's just a kid who just doesn't want to put a halt to her life for 18+ years?

Not all babies get adopted; perhaps even the majority of them. That means putting the kid through a childhood or even a lifetime of rejection and lonelines.

 

You want to be noble? Go help people in actual need; kids who are already alive and waiting for some love. Donate money, clothing, food. Volunteer. Help a stray animal. Plant a tree, pick up trash or just do something else that is actually helpful.
