Yes, I understand all of that. If I knew a girl who was pregnant, i'd help her out as best as I could. And if work and their body is what you're worried about, I actually know of charities aimed at helping pregnant girls that provide them with financial ad educational aid, as well as health care.
Women who want abortions are often young, financially unstable and work many minimum wage, part time jobs just to live and they don’t usually get maternity leave. Just because you can help one friend who gets pregnant before they’re ready doesn’t mean you can help all of them. There are thousands of women who get pregnant before they’re ready. Hell, there are probably some men who get pregnant and never even wanted to in the first place.
Trust me, I go beyond what my parents tell me plenty. I am well past the age where I believe everything my parents tell me. There are plenty of things we disagree on, but this isn't one of them. This isn't about me wanting kids. It's about me protecting innocent lives that deserve a chance. You're basically saying it's okay to pick and choose who gets a chance at life and who doesn't.
Then you should know that when women are pregnant before they’re ready for a child, not all of them can handle the whole nine months physically or financially.
Do you know how much stress it puts on the body to work while pregnant? And most women can’t afford to miss work.
I'm sorry, but I can't say that. As a woman myself, who is perfectly capable of having children, I understand exactly what I'm saying in this matter. A baby is a baby, and is separate from the mother. The only connection they have is the umbilical cord, but they are still two different bodies. And I know how bad family pressure can be. But if the parents want the baby so badly, you know what, let them have the baby! That's what's really going on!
Just because you’re ready to have kids doesn’t mean everyone else is. Not everyone is like you and the world is not what you want it to be.
And yes, a baby IS a baby. But a FETUS isn’t a baby. Not yet.
Yes, but if you arrange the adoption before birth, no one can do shit about it. And I'm not against inducing labor to force out a dead baby. It's healthier for the mother. The people who don't want to do that think it's inhumane to force a woman to give birth to something dead, but, again, it's still healthier.
Yeah and you’re not taking into account how bad family pressure can be.
What I’m trying to tell you is to let a woman do what she wants with her own body and for all intents and purposes, the fetus is a part of her body until the umbilical cord is severed.
Okay, if the baby hurts the mother or dies, then yeah, it needs to go, and they should induce labor, rather than abortion, because an abortion scars the uterus and makes conception much, much harder, because a baby can't plant itself on the scarred uterine lining. That's another reason I'm against it, because if they want kids in the future, it's a lot harder. And I am all for same sex adoptions! They are just as good as having a mom and dad, and even better than having just a mom or just a dad.
you can’t induce labor when the fetus is underdeveloped and Pro Lifers made it so you can’t induce labor at all anyways. And whether a woman wants kids or not is her choice. Not yours. And it doesn’t matter if you’re for same sex adoption because a majority of the country apparently isn’t.
Okay, here's my stance on that whole body thing. The baby is not her body. It is a separate entity that entirely survives on her taking care of it. And millions of couples try to adopt babies, and they don't get them. That's not their fault, and it's not the fault of the kids. I know all of that about teenage childbirth, and about families pressuring them to keep the baby, but ultimately, it comes down to this. Is sacrificing an innocent life who didn't ask to be alive really an okay thing?
You know who can get children out of hte foster system? All the thousands of same sex couples who want to adopt. Too bad religious nuts who don’t give a damn about basic human rights won’t let them.
And anywho, a fetus is usually aborted when it’s still undeveloped and looks like every other animal fetus in the early stage. The only time more developed fetuses get aborted is when it’s actually killing the mother or it “dies” in the womb. But those are babies that the mothers actually want and planned for. They used to actually induce labor to remove the fetus so that it’s in tact until pro lifers who don’t understand the circumstances were pissed and forced the removal procedure to be changed so they have to snip off the limbs and drag it out. Remember, these were actually planned pregnancies that went wrong and caused health problems with the fetus or the mother and had to be removed.
I am happy and willing to help non-straight and trans people. You can see that I am pro LGBTQ+ and pro trans on my blog. I'm, in fact, asexual myself, so I am considered non-straight. And I don't want to force families to provide for kids they aren't ready for. I'm all for adoption. I also encourage, for people who don't want their children to grow up in the system, to look for a family before the baby is born. Forcing families isn't what I want. Protecting life is.
Did you know that not everybody can give their child up for adoption due to family pressuring them to keep them? Or that there are thousands of kids who will never be adopted?
Did you know there are long lasting medical conditions that can happen due to underage pregnancy like the mother has a higher chance of dying during childbirth and the child has a higher chance at being stillborn?
Did you know that it’s a womans body and it should be their choice on whether or not they want to keep a baby, not yours. You shouldn’t have a say in what a woman does or doesn’t do with her own body.
Um, excuse me, but am a pro life person, and I HIGHLY respect the Bible and am a Christian. I do NOT use it as a means to an end. I follow it the best I can, but as I am not perfect, I still mess up.
Are you still going to be pro life when the fetus you force a highschooler to have in this shitty economy comes out as gay or trans? Are you still going to be pro life when you ruin some womans life by forcing her to have baby before she was emotionally and/or financially ready to have one? Are you still going to be pro life when every time a woman looks at her child, she’s reminded that she was raped?
I still stand by my statement that pro life is not about life. It’s about forcing the world into a specific image.
