To be honest, I am not against abortion per say. It’s a very complicated matter and in some instances I think abortion should be possible: rape, incest, medical reasons endangering the life of the mother.
Do I think Cindy at 17 fucking about and getting pregnant should be able to abort her child because it’s inconvenient. Hmm. Having a child myself since 4 months, I will tell you, my stance changed a little bit and I would find it difficult to unequivocally say: yes. I think there should be serious considerations.
But then again, it’s a delicate matter and I wouldn’t want to paint this matter in black and white terms.
As for my meme I posted. The reactions from left and right are predictable indeed. Just as I expected opening this thread
Oh fuck off with that nonsense. Having an abortion isn’t something a person does because they’re worried about missing their spin class at the gym. The whole “casual abortion” argument never held a ton of weight with me. But that’s also connected to the waning access to birth control pills.
But this is the point. It’s takes two to tango. Yet you make no comment on the guy who got her pregnant in this hypothetical situation. He was also “fucking about” and getting a girl pregnant, yet by these new rules only the woman is punished. Only the woman is viewed as being stupid enough to get pregnant.
I find it quite difficult to worry about things that don’t directly affect me or mine since the pandemic, but restricting access to abortion just doesn’t make sense to me.
Whilst I get there are other sensible points of view out there, if it were in my hands abortion would be available to all women, in all circumstances up to the current cutoff in the UK, and in circumstances where the mothers health is at stake, at all times.
We don’t have real sex ed in this country. Legislators are working to restrict access to birth control pills. Yes, education and contraception are really important but the GOP has spent 50 years gutting that too.
Because this is a really sad and dangerous ruling. If the Court can gut abortion based on a disingenuous reading of privacy rights they’re coming for gay marriage next.
Well ideally it should be a joint decision. But sometimes that’s not possible, sometimes a woman wants an abortion because she has no support network and the partner isn’t there for her. And at the end of the day, it’s the woman’s body and the woman is usually the primary carer. It’s her life which gets disrupted the most.
My issue with what you said was that you seemed to judge the girl for “fucking around” and getting pregnant while there is no judgement of the guy who got her pregnant. Kind of like, her problem, she can put her life on hold and look after a kid when she’s still a kid herself.
Precisely why I will never align with either party because they are full of aggressive idiots with the cognitive ability of a toddler. Left and right you deserve each other in that 3rd world shit hole.
