i can't make anything out of might've-been's.

Basically by being pro-life you are advocating for women to be treated like incubators, like their lives don’t matter. Being pro-choice doesn’t mean being pro-abortion. No one likes the idea of an abortion but women have rights too. Women have the right to live their lives and not be forced to carry through a pregnancy and have a child they don’t want. You are taking away part of their life. Even if she were to choose adoption. Adoption is not simple, not everyone is happy and just goes on with their lives. Yeah sometimes the baby finds a home but that isn’t always the case. The woman most likely suffers more trauma from putting a baby up for adoption than she does from getting an abortion. Most of the stress caused by an abortion comes by all of the shame that people place on the woman for getting them. 

I’m not saying that people should go out and get abortions whenever, but it’s not my right to treat another woman like her life doesn’t matter, like she is being punished for having sex. Pregnancy should feel like a blessing, a child should feel like a blessing not a punishment. You are taking away the woman’s life by forcing her into a pregnancy. Everyone knows that there is a risk of pregnancy if you have sex, but why would you want pregnancy to feel like a punishment for sex? Accidents happen, sometimes people are stupid. In the heat of the moment you can lose your head. So you want to punish people for it? You want to make them have a kid they don’t want because they had sex? You don’t know her circumstance, you don’t know what has led her to an abortion. You have no right to judge her.

I will also say this, the majority of pro-lifers I encounter on tumblr are in their teens and are virgins. In your teens you have no idea what its like in the real world. You don’t know what its like to budget, make sure you have enough money for rent, food, gas, and other bills. You don’t know what its like to take care of yourself at all. You have no idea what its like to have to take care of everything yourself. Until you do, you have no idea what it would be like to have to make sure you have diapers and still have enough money for rent. When you’re a virgin, you have no idea what its like to be a sexual person. You have no idea what happens when you’re having sex. Accidents happen, condoms break, pills are so easy to miss. You can’t judge someone when you haven’t even been there. You don’t know what happened. You have no right to pass judgement when you have never been in her shoes.

Abortion should never be used as birth control, I believe that people still need to do whatever they can to prevent pregnancy. The birth control pill should be made easily available to all women and the stigma should be removed from purchasing condoms. If you want to prevent abortion advocate for birth control. You have to give her the opportunities to have safe sex and prevent pregnancy so abortion doesn’t have to be an option. She should however still have the option. Stop treating women like they’re nothing but an incubator, nothing but just a vessel for another human being. She has a life, she has dreams, goals. Why take her life, that she’s already living, away?

If you want to have a rational conversation I’m here, but if you’re going to come at me about murdering babies and that I’m horrible person please keep your comments to yourself.
