Can someone please explain to me why abortion is okay, because I feel like I’m missing something here.
I don’t understand why abortions are allowed to women who want to terminate just because their baby is an accident. Fair enough if you’ve been raped, the contraception failed, you’re underage, mentally ill, if the pregnancy puts you in any sort of danger, or if the child is going to be deformed and therefore won’t have a good quality of life. But if you’re perfectly capable of raising a baby, and your only excuse is that you can’t be bothered to raise the child (that’s only here in the first place because of your own fucking irresponsibility), I don’t think you should be allowed an abortion. I just think it’s really fucking unfair.
I’m not at all anti-feminist but I don’t understand why feminism and pro-choice seem to go hand in hand? Always with the argument “it’s my body”. Yes, it’s your body, but I don’t see how that gives you permission to murder a completely seperate, individual human being that just so happens to be inside of your body. Do whatever you want with your own body, just don’t expect to have the right to destroy another human being’s.
No one can determine when that egg turns into a living human being, so I don’t agree with the “it’s not a human being” argument. There have been babies born who were still under the age at which they could have been aborted and have survived, so this argument is pretty invalid.
Someone please explain this to me
Feminism and pro-choice go hand in hand because you can’t support the liberation of women while simultaneously going along with policies and norms that harm women and other people who can get pregnant.
Look, even if a fetus is a person, it DOES NOT have the right to use a person’s body against their will. The right to life is not more important than bodily autonomy; were that the case, I could knock you out for a kidney if I needed one.
Also, your entire first paragraph is slut-shaming, which is also anti-feminist. People are allowed to have sex without wanting a kid, and forced pregnancy and childbirth are a form of oppressive torture. So yeah. You can’t be a feminist and slut-shame, either.
Who says anyone “can’t be bothered” to raise the kid? Most abortions happen because of social and economic restrictions. You are really clueless.
emphasis mine.
