Do you realize that our world is at its breaking point? Overpopulation is rampant, and it’s because people think it’s wrong to use methods of contraception and won’t let women choose when to start a family. As of October 2011, there are now seven billion people in this world, and then some. Seven billion mouths, many of which we cannot feed. It won’t be long before widespread famine, dehydration and disease start killing off more and more people. Do we really want to bring more children into a world which is in the midst of a population crisis?
Personally, I’d rather be dead than unwanted any day.
Unwanted children grow up in abusive or neglectful households and grow up to become criminals, or they are put up for adoption and have the heartbreak of knowing that their real parents did not want them.
I’ll share a fun fact. Abortions were legalized in the U.S. in 1973. About 20 years later, in the 90’s, there was a steady decrease in the crime rate - because people were not having unwanted children, and the children who would have otherwise been born into families who didn’t want them, didn’t exist and grow up to be criminals at 20-something.
Making abortion illegal is a huge step back in women’s rights. Sometimes it’s just not the right time to start a family, and it would be irresponsible for a person to do so. Like if a girl gets pregnant in high school. She has her whole life ahead of her, but instead she will have to spend the next eighteen years taking care of another person when she’s barely even grown up herself.
Abortion is not murder. Murder would be killing a living, breathing, BORN person who you can look in the eyes and they are aware of you. Murder is in cold blood.
Abortion is more like sparing a child from a life of being unwanted or sitting around in an adoption center feeling like a puppy in a cardboard box.
Furthermore, if adoption was made illegal again, there would still be abortions - the dangerous kind. The drinking pennyroyal tea until you miscarry kind. The rusty coat hanger kind. That can be fatal to the woman. If you’re okay with a woman subjecting herself to something painful and potentially damaging herself forever/killing herself because the fucking federal government tries to say what’s right and wrong to do with our bodies, but you’ll still stand up for a fetus that hasn’t breathed a gasp of air, then there’s something wrong with you.
People need to stop creating more children that we don’t need.
There are already not enough resources to go around.

You can think what you want, pro-lifers, and you’re sweet for believing that an embryo is already a sentient being, but do not encourage politicians to go backwards in time and make abortions illegal again. Think about all the women in your life.
We should all have the right to choose. Your choice may be different than mine, but that doesn’t mean other women shouldn’t be able to go through with having an abortion if they feel that it’s necessary, whether the reason being is for their career, for their health, because the baby has an illness, because they were raped, or just because they aren’t ready to be a parent.

Stand up for women’s rights. Our government is corrupt enough as it is - don’t let it decide what a woman can and cannot do with her body.
