Why the hell should I have to explain? You say youâre married, but you have no clue? Let me type slowly so youâll âget itâ: there are some things you simply donât force upon a woman. One of them is your opinion about the fate of her reproductive system. Apparently, this doesnât work for you either; otherwise your wife wouldnât object to your insistence on having another child.
Iâm not the one that supports a war started on false pretenses; you are. Iâm not the one that supports a war where the only winners are the corporations reaping record profits; you are. Iâm not the one that supports a war where oil is bought with blood; you are. Iâm not the one evading this fact; you are. Iâm not the one trying to force my version of morality on someone else despite the fact that it is hypocritically flawed; you are. You might not like it, but the shoe fits well for you: hypocrite.
What gives you the right to tell her what to do? What gives you the right to assume that you understand her circumstances and life conditions? What gives you the right to assume that all pregnancies exist under circumstances that are bearable for the woman? What gives you the right to lump all pregnancies and all women into the same flawed moral mold that you so adamantly insist is a universal truth?
What makes you think that you even remotely know anything about the subject to begin with? Because you read about it somewhere? Do you actually know any women that have gotten abortions? Have you actually seen or understand the conditions that would make them consider such a desperate decision?
You talk about it like its routine. You seem to think that abortion as an option is nothing more than an off-the-cuff decision that they make about their pregnancy. While there are some cases of ignorance, the majority of the pregnant women that even consider abortion do so out of desperation. I am not so arrogant to pass judgement on their circumstances. I am not so arrogant as to force my point of view on someone that is already facing what will probably be the most profoundly frightening experience in their life.
Being pro-choice has little to do with being pro-abortion. It has everything to do with having an additional option to offer someone that is helpless, desperate, and frightened. Its not a perfect answer to her situation; you donât need to tell her that, she already knows. It only exists as an additional option for someone that feels like they have none. In the end, no one is making that choice but her; no one else has a right to.
How the hell would you know? Did you have to make 1 too many midnight ice cream runs? Did you have to do all the heavy lifting around the house 1 too many times? Oh I suppose youâre a frigginâ expert know. (rolls eyes)
Open your eyes clueless; our society already does. How many of you âlife is preciousâ fanatics that are all gushy about babies put away their elderly relatives in nursing homes because taking care of them is just too much of a bother? While those facilities service circumstances that are warranted, I see way too many relatives that put their elderly family members into the system just because they are inconvenienced by the situation. After all, changing that diaper is a serious bitch isnât it? Are those lives âpreciousâ as well? I donât see you getting all bent out of shape about that one either.
