So you’re pro-life? Do you even know why? Who are we in thinking that we can control the health matters of a woman? A woman should make her own decisions on what she does to her body. It shouldn’t be a political argument, or something a politician promises to get rid of if they are elected president, because how does what a woman does to her OWN body have anything to do with you? Are you the one going in for a procedure to get rid of an unwanted pregnancy? Were you sexually abused, and became pregnant? Are you going to adopt these unwanted children if abortions become illegal, or are you just going to keep your mouth shut when they go into the system, and stay there until they are 18? My guess would be no, that you are not going to go and adopt one of these unwanted children.
If you are against abortions, then so be it, don’t get one yourself, but don’t try to tell other people that they should and shouldn’t do to their body. What if the world decided you couldn’t have a medical procedure done just because it was controversial. What if someone you know and love were walking on the side of the road, were beaten, and raped? Would you be able to look her in the eye and say, “Oh you were raped, now you have to have this unwanted child that you will have to look in the eye every day and raise as your own, knowing how they were conceived?" I hope you are never in a personal situation where abortion may be in question.
Also, a special shout-out to the men out there who think they have a say in what a woman does with her body (unless the child is yours). YOU ESPECIALLY DON’T. You don’t even have the body of a woman because you are not a woman. You should not have a say in this. A friend that I went to high school with, posted on social media that a professor asked the males in his class to raise their hand if they believed he (the professor) shouldn’t have the right to decide abortion issues because he is a man. Only my friend raised his hand. How does a man think he is entitled to an opinion on abortion when he himself would never have to go through one?
Do you have to go skydiving just because skydiving is legal? Do you have to smoke cigarettes just because it is legal to buy them? Just because someone is pro-choice does not mean that they have to go through their own abortion. Being pro-choice means you are giving someone who may be in a very tough position the choice to do what is best for not only them, but for the unborn life of the fetus inside of them. Why would you want someone who could lose their life, and the child’s life to give birth, only for them both to die? Why would you want someone to raise a rapist's child? Some people may be able to do so, and kudos to them, seriously that is amazing, and they are AMAZINGLY strong people. But others may see the abuse and the horror in their child’s face, and that is unfair to both mother and child; to look into your child’s face and be scared of it.
To be pro-choice does not mean that you have to have an abortion yourself, it just means you are giving women a chance to do what they deem best for not only themselves, but for their unborn child.
This article is not meant to offend anyone, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, just as everyone should be entitled to do whatever they want to their own bodies.
