Not your body. Not your life. Not your choice.
First off, let me clear up that Pro-Choice does NOT mean Pro-Abortion. Pro-Choice is simply supporting women to have the option accessible. Women should have the choice to their bodies, since they're the ones enduring the pregnancy. Many discussions nowadays include religion. Politics should not encompass religion; not everyone is religious.
With pro-life, women would have no choice but to give birth. Whereas with pro-choice, women would be able to decide. Supporting pro-choice does not necessarily mean I would get an abortion myself, but I support other women to have that option available. Stated above, their body is not mine; their life is not mine; their decision is not mine.
There are many reasons as to why a woman would consider an abortion. Some women may have been raped. In that instance, which is tragic, the women may not want to carry the child as a reminder of their rapist and/or traumatic experience. In a time where sexual assualt is more prevalent, why would anyone want to take away women's right to prioritize their mental health and overall well-being? Another reason a woman may want an abortion is due to health risks. Some women may be endangered or risk their physical health in order to give birth. In that case, knowing the mother may die, why would you want to give the woman or family only ONE option?
Other reasons would be parental pressure, partner pressure, social or economic reasons, and possible fetus abnormalities, etc. You may not support some, or any of these reasons, but once again, it is their life.
No one understands the circumstances another person endures.
Not your body. Not your. Not your choice. Support women and their decisions, or mind your business.
I agree 100% with Mai-Angel Thai's opinion on abortion I think many good points were brought up.
ReplyDeleteA woman should have the right to make decisions about her own body. We’re in 2018, and people are still debating about whether or not a woman should be allowed to make the choice to have an abortion. Why is a man telling a women what she can and can’t do with her body? What does he know about being pregnant? Why is someone with no uterus trying to take control of a women with a uterus? Regardless of whether or not you view abortion as a crime, you have to admit, ladies, that having a man try to tell you what you can and can’t do is the worst. A pregnancy is a huge responsibility; one that not everybody can - or should - take on. A child has basic needs - food, shelter, water, and health care. On top of these things, a child also needs attention, love, and support. Some people are barely able to take care of themselves, let alone a child. Kids are adorable, and teach us many things about life. They are also the reason that many adults are forced to let go of their prior goals and dreams.
