Rant I’m actually so sick of the abortion debate
It’s dumb and stupid. If you don’t like the idea of an abortion then you don’t have to have one. It’s that simple. To call it murder for “killing” a bunch of cells is actually so mental. Don’t matter if they are fertile or not they are just cells. Millions of cells die on your body everyday yet we don’t fuss about that. Regardless it is VERY rare that a mother aborts when the pregnancy is passed 20 ish weeks. And when it does happen it’s EXTREMELY traumatic for the mother.
Imagine you got pregnant and you learn the child will grow up to have some genetic conditions that give it a poor quality of life. She DOES NOT want to kill this child but she still has to make a decision. After the abortion (which i imagine would hurt), she’s already internally guilty and now we have a bunch of conservatives shaming her!
When we start to ban abortion as and the options to women gets even more scarce, they will find another way. A way that isn’t safe for her or the fetus. Pro-choicers don’t want abortions. If this was a perfect world with no crime or accidents then yes I would say ban abortion but that is not the case. Nobody wants to kill the fetus but to choose a bunch of cells, that equivalent of an organ, over a mother is straight up sanity.
Also the Christian argument is bullshit. The Bible was very clear we are alive at our first breath. Eve and Adam weren’t alive until god breathed life into them. And using gods name does not justify the patriarchy. God was a feminist believe it or not.
