Taken outside a Planned Parenthood in Olympia, WA.
This. is. amazing.
I love this. Respect to the girl who showed up with that sign.
I would never have an abortion, but it’s a woman’s decision to do it. I have always been a person who deals with the consequences of my actions. My daughter is proof of that. I love her to death, and am glad I never thought of aborting her, even if I wasn’t ready. If I was raped and got pregnant. Yeah. I’d probably abort, because I fear rape. And a baby isn’t going to help me mend. Giving up the baby for adoption would be difficult, and I would never wanna go through that.
How is rape an invalid reason to get an abortion? Rape happens. Girls get pregnant. Some of the women who do get pregnant, don’t keep their babies. Just because 5% only get pregnant, doesn’t mean that the percentage of woman keep their child. And just because we know a few people who’ve been raped, kept their children, and live happily, doesn’t mean other rape victims and their children do too. We aren’t them. So no, rape is not an invalid argument. It is very much valid.
The way I see it, everyone is different. We all don’t experience things the same way.
If a 14 year old got raped and pregnant, is she wrong to abort the child? I’ve been 14. I know what it’s like. A 14 year old who never asked to be raped, shouldn’t have to live with carrying a child that was a result of rape. That’s so judgmental to think that everyone is strong, and can live with something as rape. Some victims of rape, commit suicide. What about their lives?
Not everyone believes that things happen for a reason. We are free to do what we want. What we do with our bodies, doesn’t affect you.
The thing I hate the most though, is that people who do get pregnant and have kids, don’t deserve kids. Not to mention that they complain about having those kids. That’s when someone should step in and say, “You shouldn’t have had sex then.” I would like them to give the baby up to a family who wants them, but I also think it’s their choice if they want to go with abortion. It’s called having a choice that’s right for you.
So I’m pretty freaking sure, “Pro-Choice” makes sense. Everyone is so worried about other people, and should seriously start worrying about themselves. Someone aborting their child has nothing to do with you. Unless it does, people should stop forcing and judging others for making a decision for them and the unborn child.
