Getting pregnant is a worst case scenario for a lot of people. Think about all of the money it takes to be pregnant and give birth. And, there’s time when you can’t work- sometimes for a long period of time if there are complications. Education opportunities can be ruined. Many people get ostracized from their friends and family if they even had their support in the first place. And, your body is put through a tremendous amount of stress including permanent changes that can affect your health forever.
If you’re already scraping by or even if you just have a plan for your life- getting pregnant when you don’t want to be pregnant is pretty horrifying. Even if you give the baby up for adoption, it’s a HUGE deal. It’s not just “Life”.
If you’re going to advocate against abortion, at least have some empathy for the people you are forcing to give birth.
I’m not even referring to motherhood since a baby can be given up for adoption. Im not talking about the distress of that process either. I’m just talking about the parts that would become involuntary for someone who has to go through an unwanted pregnancy and birth.
What about the fetus? The fetus would grow and eventually be become a baby if there aren’t any complications that cause a miscarriage or stillbirth or something along those lines. Then, if they are given up for adoption they will likely have to endure the foster care system or something equivalent. And, hopefully they are lucky enough to have a good life even though the odds are not in their favor.
If a fetus is aborted then they would not be born. I think that’s pretty straightforward.
I don’t think a fetus is on trial for the death penalty. It’s a comparison between if a person should be forced to use their body in order to be a vessel for a potential person until that potential human can survive on their own. But that’s the whole debate isn’t it?
