[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I realize that I’m just an idiot teenager with no life experience, who slept through science class, but here’s my opinion:
Abortion makes me sad.

Awesome![/quote]

It makes me sad too. It’s a very sad thing. [b]Almost no one is “pro” abortion. [/b]In fact, most people who push for abortion rights also push for birth control, sex ed, and health care to PREVENT abortions.

In a perfect world, birth control will always work, horny teens with limited frontal-lobe development wouldn’t have unprotected sex, no one would get pregnant until they were ready (financially stable & in a loving, nonabusive relationship), babies would be all healthy, etc. But we don’t live in a perfect world. You’ll learn that as you become older. People have sex. Abortions will happen. Regardless of the laws.

If you want to prevent abortions, go push for education (not just abstinence), healthcare, and free contraception. Those are effective ways to reduce unwanted pregnancies and abortions.

Gah. Stop saying this. Or at least, use the disclaimer that YOU ARE ONLY SPEAKING FOR YOURSELF. I am pro abortion. I highly support abortions for anyone who does not want to be pregnant. And I feel negative shame about it. What should make you sad is white men making decisions about women’s bodies. About women who are raped, people who sit in prison for abortion or even miscarriages.

Pro-abortion: in favor of the medical procedure in which a pregnancy is terminated. Hey, it’s me.

When you say “abortion is sad” and “no one is pro abortion” you’re ceding extensive ground to the other side. You’re (likely without realizing it) furthering the narrative the abortion is fundamentally bad or evil and that women should be ashamed if they have them. You’re buying into the anti-choice rhetoric. Stop it![/quote]
