I have literally just peeled my eyes away from reading the atrocity that is Chelsea Handler's abortion confession. I am in complete and total awe of the stupidity and inconsiderate nature of this woman (though she claims to have made the “thoughtful” decision). I am disgusted, to be perfectly honest. Here’s why:
Yeah, she “happened to f*** up twice,” when she was a teenager. We all screw-up, I will not deny that. I will also not deny that humans are sexual beings. Especially teenagers. That’s just scientific fact. You know what else is scientific fact?
IF YOU HAVE UNPROTECTED, IRRESPONSIBLE SEX, YOU WILL GET PREGNANT.
YOU make that decision and you have the audacity to just up and decide “oops, I shouldn’t have done that, let’s just take away this life I created irresponsibly.” TWICE. TWICE you took away someone else's opportunity to be a mother. TWICE you crushed someone else's dreams of holding that little life in their arms, a life that some people cannot have the PRIVILEGE of creating because science and God said no to them, but yes to an ungrateful and irresponsible human being (which I do not totally understand, but I am not God).
Let’s just break down this whole abortion issue really quick - a fetus has a heartbeat as early as six weeks gestation.
Six weeks. Six. Unfortunately, most women don’t even know they’re pregnant until after that. I get that every woman does not dream of being a mother, and nobody said you have to be a mother to this thing you’re growing inside you. But for someone to say it’s not a life, a human life, is untrue. He or she has a heart, and it’s beating. If I reached inside your chest and ripped out your heart, you’d be dead because you no longer have a beating heart inside your body. Same concept here. The fetus has one, therefore it’s living. End of story, in my opinion. So, you don’t want to be a mother. Your empty womb doesn’t bother you. Well, guess what? IT BOTHERS SOME PEOPLE. Some women dream their whole lives about being a mother, but they can’t. These women normally choose to adopt, but oh, oh no, the perfect baby they always dreamt of, never got the chance to be loved because you made a SELFISH decision. SELFISH. You couldn’t spare your body and live with the consequences for nine months out of your life.
I will also take this time to say that we need more sex education in the United States to keep things like this from happening.
But much like the way divorce has become so easy these days, abortion is the easy and selfish way out of something you chose to do.
Learn to live with the decisions you make, people. Please. Just learn.
This is a messy article. It’s the messiest one I have ever written. Because I am so angered by this woman I cannot even think straight anymore.
Chelsea Handler, you’re utterly unfunny (even before I knew all this) and now you’re just an awful human.
