I had this great Abortion post I was going to make, but for some reason I don't feel the need anymore. However, if you want to know my opinion say something stupid to me like that you are pro-choice
( Read more... )
It's terribly hard for me to say which side I support more (though im leaning toward pro-choice) because I can understand each point of view, and I'm not much of an arguer. This is what I DO have to say for once... In the event that a woman becomes impregnated in an unfortunate way (ie. rape) She should have the choice to get an abortion... It is still homicide nonetheless, but I would think that it is saving the "mother" from a pain which she should not have to bear because of some man's perverseness (i think i made that word up, but you get it) In the event that a woman become impregnated by means of inferior contraception (ie her own stupidity) She has the choice to go to a clinic and get a morning-after pill...i know this isn't abortion...but wouldn't you think that this is homicide as well?? Also, if she becomes pregant and seriously considers abortion because she is 1)too young 2)too poor 3)inadequte for fostering a child then I think that she should have the choice whether or not she will have the child. Saying the fact that it is her own fault and stupidity that she got pregnant is true, and saying that abortion is homicide is also true, but thinking that she should have the child because she should bear the burden which she brought upon herself is a terrible thought. Punishing someone with the life of a child does not seem appealing to me, nor do I think that it is very fair to the child who (if adopted) will some day have to realize that their parents didn't want them... It is a very controversial subject, and I believe that abortion is homicide, but you have to keep in mind how ridiculous this world is Jacob. You, of all people, know this well and should think about the underpriveleged girls who wouldn't think twice about dumping a baby in a dumpster to save a little cash for drugs... ie Springfield (Nikki's homies)
So that's that. And I am not an ignorant coward because here you have my opinion.

I meant to add this too... I think that the solution to this would be a pro-choice base, but some sort of standardized pre-abortion screening where someone can have an abortion ...something along the lines of finding out everything about the mother (and father if there is one). Maybe include social status, living habits, schooling, income of the mother and her family (so there is some sort of funding)...It's a pretty underdeveloped idea, but I hate the fact that everyone has something to say about abortion but no one is willing to do something about it.
