Okay, so I browsed a "General World Stuff" section on an anime forum. There they had a thread saying something like "Abortion: Right or wrong?". Considering that most of the people I've seen posting on the forum seemed to like strong, independent women, even if they were like 90% male, I clicked it.
In it I found:
1. Most thinks that abortion is wrong, regardless of the reasons ("I don't want someone to abort
my child!" not even calling it "our child").
2. One thought that their sister/cousin/whatever she was's abortion after rape was right, but no other abortion (even if it's rape) should occur.
3. Women should realise that pregnancy is a side-effect after sex. Ergo, if they don't want to be pregnant, they shouldn't have sex (but whyyyyy wont someone sleep with me?!).
4. Birth control
never fails!!!!1!One!!!Dammit!
5. One is arguing for abortion, but is told to quit because their logic is worse than the anti-abortion logic.
6. Calling a foetus a "foetus" instead of a "baby" is evil, murderous and so on.
7. Courts should decide who gets to have abortions! And NO LATE ABORTIONS (like what would happen when a woman must wait for the court to decide).
8. Abortions hurt women! So we should take away this choice because they don't know any better!!!
And... My blood-pressure, which my doctors often have a hard time finding because it's usually so low, is now through the roof.
It contains classic examples of:
My Abortion is the ONLY Justified One!!The fact that men should be able to have as much sex as they want, but women, when accidentally getting pregnant, should suck it up or not have any sex at all.
Impractical compromises that still takes away the choice of a woman (BUTBUT SHE CHOOSE TO GO TO COURT!!) but giving her choice to someone else.
Women are incubators for men's sons (rarely they'll mention daughters) once they're pregnant, and that women should have no say in it if the man tells her to stay pregnant.
Silencing the women's voice.
Women doesn't know what's best for them. Hence, they should let patriarchy decide.
The myth that birth control is 100% effective, that they wont break and that every woman is capable of taking hormonal chemicals regularly without any ill effects.
It's a baby at the moment the sperm enters the woman.
No one even thinks about this:
That women forced to bear their rapist's children are more likely to hate/hurt/kill themselves.
That women have careers that could end upon becoming pregnant.
That women can have a hard time getting daddy to step up on responsibility.
That women doesn't all like children.
That women could die, could become permanently paralysed, could enter depression, could develop many, many medical problems because of their pregnancy.
That women doesn't always have the financial means to take care of a child.
That there's already too many children in the adoption systems around the world and adding more is hardly nice towards the children.
You see, all pro-choice people want is
CHOICE. No one wants forced abortions, all they want is for women to have the choice to carry the child or not.
But anti-abortion people likens it either to murder or that women takes abortion lightly and uses it instead of the pill/condom. (The more extreme ones say that the pill is a "chemical abortion" and should also be banned.)
It's a medical procedure, it costs money and isn't fun. I hardly believe that women will just skip to the doctor every time they've had sex.
Fucking hell. The stupidity is giving me a headache.
