abortion and my thoughts on it

So this post isn't really a post to try and persuade anyone to change their minds on abortion. This is is just a post about me talking about the open debate, and a couple of things which kind of irritate me and just my thoughts on it.

So my response to the idea, that you could be aborting the 21st century superman, is that somebody else could be superman instead. Somebody else will figure out a cure for cancer. If Rosa Parks had been aborted, then the people within the civil rights movement, would have just chosen another light skinned activist to emulate what Ida B Wells did before. If Martin Luther King had been aborted, somebody else would have led the movement. If Charles Darwin had been aborted, somebody else would have come up with the theory of Evolution. If all of these people had been aborted, somebody else would have done it! They are not the one and onlys. It may take more time, but that doesn't mean that it won't happen. So that is my response to that.





Q: How would you feel if you were aborted?
A: I wouldn't care.

Okay, so I understand that the sanctity of life is important (tO AN eXTENT), however I feel that we tend to value life so much, that we don't see that different lifes, have different values? In the nicest way possible, I think that a woman is more valuable than a foetus, just because of the fact that she can think and feel and a foetus can't.

A foetus doesn't have the capacity to care about anything and to want or think about anything. It doesn't have any preferences, so why are we putting it above a person who does, have preferences?

*I do believe that everyone should be treated fairly and equally and have a chance at living, but when you are trying to decide who should be put above someone else, maybe choose the party that actually cares, rather than the one who doesn't care and could possibly die due to a natural abortion (a miscarriage)


I am pro choice. I believe that a woman should be able to decide what she wants to do with her body, and I don't think that a nonthinking foetus should be able to take charge of it.

I think that if you see the foetus as an equal to the mother, than you are creating a very destructive situation. You can't compare something that's living and that has feelings and preferences to something that doesn't. Once again, I was to emphasise the fact that I don't think you should be aborting foetus's as practical jokes, but when it comes down to what the woman wants and how the potential child will affect her future, I think the woman should be able to decide.

Being pro choice is also NOT the same as being pro abortion. I just believe that a woman should decide whether she wants to terminate a pregnancy or not. You can be pro choice and still be "against" abortion. You can personally not believe in abortion, because you believe that it would be taking a life. However, you can also believe that you should have the option to choose that, and that other woman who may not think the same way as you do, should have the option to have an abortion if they want one.

So lets have some free legal abortion clinics please and thank you.
