I Say...
- Reproductive choice empowers women by giving them control over their own bodies.
- Person-hood begins after a fetus becomes "viable" or after birth, not at conception.
- Fetuses are incapable of feeling pain when most abortions are performed.
- Access to legal, professionally-preformed abortions reduces maternal injury and death caused by unsafe, illegal abortions.
- Modern abortion procedures are safe and do not cause lasting health issues such as cancer, infertility, and mental health problems.
- Abortion gives pregnant women the option to choose not to bring fetuses with profound abnormalities to full term.
- Women who are denied abortions are more likely to become become unemployed, to be on public welfare, to be below the poverty line and to become victims of domestic violence.
- Reproductive choice protects women from financial disadvantage.
- A baby should NOT come in the world UNWANTED.
- Many religious organizations and people of faith support women's reproductive choice.
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK...
Many people believe that those whom are pro-choice, when it comes to abortion, are "pro-abortionist." I'm here to tell you that they're wrong. Just because someone is pro choice, it does NOT mean they are pro abortion. It simply means hat they understand that the choice other women make about their own reproductive system is none of their damn business but they will stand up and fight for anyone's right to choose. Don't be too quick to judge, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GOING THROUGH... What pro-lifers don't realize is that they don't know exactly why these women decide to make the choice of getting an abortion. Many women who choose abortion don't have the financial resources to support a child. Having a child is an important decision that requires consideration, preparation, and planning, you can't bring a baby in to the world if you know for a fact that you are not going to be able to raise him/her properly. RAPE VICTIMS Believe it or not, and argue all you want but what about women (of all ages) who incedentilly get pregnant after they were sexually taken advantage of? What are they suppose to do? Give birth to a child that they didn't even ask for? Are you going to accuse them of a "crime" when they were the ones who were victimized? I didn't think so. |
Press play...
In the video to the right, a women goes off on anti-abortion protesztors for standing outside of a British clinic. The memebers of the group "Abort67" have been confronting young women going into the GP surgery with graphic posters and leaflets with picture of "dismembered fetuses. These members have also filmed those who have walked in and out of the clinic without their consent. If you listen closely you will hear the woman say, "Its wrong what youre doing. You do not know why people are doing what theyre doing. You want to be out here judging…many people have been abused, you don’t know what they have their reasons for," and it is not a surprise that I completely agree with her...100%, and so should you. |

Don't like the idea of abortion? Fine. But quit judging and making other women feel guilty of the choices they decide to make. It's their business not yours. You don't, and never will know what one is going through until you've walked in their shoes.
