Why... why would you ever...

It's not right. Not right. You can't end a life that easily, with petty reasons like, "it'll starve" or "I don't want it."

That's your responsibility, that of another life. Even not knowing who the father is, it shouldn't matter. You can't... you just can't.

... I don't understand why people would do that, either. Life is a wonderful thing that people should cherish, not throw away. It's equivalent to killing someone who's been alive for 30 years. It's wrong.

Ed sygac sa celg, duu.

[calamitousness]

It's just... no. I can't even imagine.

Eh Spira, fa tuh'd ajah... ed'c hud... baubma zicd tuh'd.

[lucis_fatum]

I would never do it myself. But other people... they have different opinions. They think it's okay to do it.

How can it be okay?

[sexyincyan]

Aw, man. I know what got this started.

Listen. I'm complete shit at trying to pull the whole comfort thing with people I don't know, but maybe I can buy you a drink or something?

it's okay. emotional rikku is emotional ): and confused.

[calamitousness]

I... what?

yeah, that's par for the course after meeting sister

[sexyincyan]

Unless I'm very confused and this is just completely coincidental, you were probably just talking to Sister.

Most people need a drink after meeting her for the first time, anyways. But yeah, she doesn't always... god, I've got a headache just thinking about it.

Listen. I'm really sorry. I know she didn't mean to mess with your head or anything, and honestly, none of all the crap that led up to this would even make any sense without a drink in you, anyways. I know I'm sure as hell about to knock one back, regardless.

if only rikku had known.

[calamitousness]

She said things about killing babies and... I didn't get-

...

I've got my own ymlurum. I'll pass, but thanks.

[virtualunknown]

Rikku...?

[calamitousness]

They-babies and... the abortion thing and... why would you ever?

[virtualunknown]

...

...it all depends on the situation and one's moral standings.

[calamitousness]

... Situation? If you have a baby, you have a baby. There's no right or wrong about it.

SHE'S A LITTLE WORRIED, K?

[sonozaki_scion]

Rik-kun?

...what's wrong?

2/2 - She thought about it a moment, and realized what's wrong.

[sonozaki_scion]

......oh.

There aren't...

....

...you're very lucky, if you came from a world where those things aren't practiced...

(OOC: This is actually a touchy subject for Shion, as well. She and her sister were supposed to have been killed at birth. D:)

[calamitousness]

It just... doesn't make sense, y'know? Why would you-why kill a baby? It's just...

(OOC; It's a touchy subject for Rikku because, well, her people really value life in general. D:)

Shion's gonna give her several more hugs now. And hair-pettings. ):

[sonozaki_scion]

I know.... I know it doesn't.

There are... a lot of reasons. And none of them are particularly good. "Because I didn't want it to be born in this kind of world", "because it would have reminded me of him", "because I can barely take care of myself, let alone a baby"...

...my personal favorite is superstition, but I'm probably biased.

...the point is... there isn't a good reason. And the reasons you hear are mostly excuses. Because the idea of having created something so... so profound... it scares people, you know?

annnd she's gone into doctor mode

[banorawhite]

The life of a woman is more important than the life of fetus.

[calamitousness]

But... it's a baby.

[banorawhite]

Whatever you choose to call it, it is not as important as the woman who may have been forced to carry it.

[calamitousness]

No. No. New life shouldn't be thrown away like that.
