Abortion

 Abortion. A reasonably popular topic. Lots of people for it, lots of people against it. I, of course, already have my opinion on it and thought I'd share.

 As you probably guessed, I'm pro-choice. Pro-choice meaning, if a woman/girl wishes to abort the fetus, I fully support them. There are a couple of reasons why I support this, but in the end it just comes to my own moral decency.

 Now, if you're pro-life, meaning you do not support abortions, then that probably offended you. Maybe. If so, well, I'd be lying if I said I was sorry. Personally, I think you're the scum of the earth. That being said, I understand that it is your opinion. It's okay not to agree with someone, to have different opinions, etc -but what I absolutely despise about most people with conflicting opinions is that they will do whatever it takes to shove their opinion down your throat. It's fine if you're pro-life, but if you are, please keep it to yourself and let the rest of female society live their life.

 Now that the general insults are done, let's get on with it.

 The base reasons I support abortion are:

1. Fetus' are removed at a stage where the supposed "baby" is only a small clump of cells. The fetus cannot think, feel, or exhibit any other traits associated with conscious life. It is, as stated before, a clump of cells. Even at times when the fetus may be more developed I still fully support the decision to abort it. A lot of people don't understand that when abortions are done, the 'baby' isn't the thing you see being held by mothers.

2. Some people say that if a woman has sex, she is responsible for the child that comes with it. Excuse me, but who told your entitled ass that something like that was acceptable? It doesn't matter if she's "responsible", if a woman doesn't want a child, she DOES NOT have to have it. End of story.

 Forcing a woman to have a child and cutting off all means of safely taking care of the problem is almost the same as pregnancy rape.  Forcing them to have a child they may not even be medically able to birth, may not be able to take care of financially, or simply don't want, is wrong.

3. No man, woman, group or government should have the right to control a woman body.

 Of course there are more, but these are the my main reasons. If you have your own, or would like to discuss,  feel free to leave a comment. For now, this is all I have to say on the matter, and I may continue this later. At the moment though, this post is over.
