Anti Abortion - Blog Posts
Something I think anti-abortionists (including myself) need to understand is that when you (rightfully) call out the fact that abortion is murder---or at the very least wrong, you're gonna get push back.
You're asking these women to confront a reality that's gonna force them to rethink every aspect of their life and how they see themselves as person.
Imagine if all your life you were told this thing was fine/okay to do, and that it's empowering for you to do it, only for you to find out you were actually committing evil in the process.
I doubt many people would be willing to face that reality because no one really wants to think of themselves as an evil person (lest they be a legit psychopath). Most people don't like confronting uncomfortable truths about things regardless of how necessary it might be because it's human nature to want to run from things that don't feel good to know.
Imagine if you found out that you were actually committing murder this whole time? Would you be so easily willing to accept that truth? Of course a bunch of these women are going to show major resistance because they don't want to believe what they're doing is horrible because by extension, it would mean they're a horrible person and they would have to wrestle with their self worth and regret because that's what it would translate to for them. No one wants to deal with that.
I'm not saying this erases it, nor do I believe all women who've had abortions are genuinely evil. But really take the time to look from their perspective here. Is it really any wonder that there's so much resistance/division on this topic?
I personally consider abortion to be anti-feminist due to the fact it allows men to not be held responsible for their irresponsible actions of sleeping with a woman they have no intention of loving or providing for. It allows men to treat women like commodities with no consequence.
As someone who's against abortion, I feel like this needs to be said: Society really doesn't do enough to help women endure pregnancy either. Unfortunately, pregnancy complications are a lot more common than people would originally think, which is also another reason as to why a lot of women today are now opting out of having children. Because more often than not, our society gives them very little support, women are shamed for being pregnant outside of marriage even when it was outside of their control (such as being raped), women often don’t get help and in fact, there’s a very obvious trend of men abandoning the women they impregnate. The trend is so widespread that we joke about it. “Haha, your dad left to get milk and never came back.” You realize how disgusting that is?
In the grand scheme of things and in terms of history, we have only recently gotten out of a system that automatically writes women off as ‘hysterical’ and now listen to their pain or issues—but even then, there’s still countless of stories of women who had complications in their bodies—not just in pregnancy—due to the fact that their doctors just would not listen to them when they told them they’re in pain or suspected something was wrong. It was only until 1993 did women in America actually start to be medically studied.
When you have it all down, it is any wonder why women in this day and age don’t want to bear children anymore when there seems to be little perceived benefit for themselves and the child involved? And I don't wanna hear any red-pillers going, "Oh, females take advantage of the child support---" You're not a rapper. You're not a celebrity. You're on Tumblr. You don't have any gold to dig. And even if you do run into a situation where a woman crappily uses the system against you, it's your fault for not being sexually responsible in the first place. Sorry, she didn't get pregnant by herself, sir.
As much as I don't want abortion to be a thing, I think we really got to show how we plan to actually improve society outside of creating hospitals :l
Not saying that ALL of us are bare-bottoms who doing nothing, but the one's voicing for us could definitely be doing a LOT more.
This is why I don't wanna place myself in either political party because conservatives aren't talking about the concerns women SHOULD have regarding their bodies during pregnancy and/or how it'll effect their lives and what help they're gonna get.
Both sides have things they ignore, but my gosh.
I don't think I'll ever be convinced by the "clump of cells" argument people like to use for abortion. "It's just a clump of cells---" Okay, and what are we? What are we made of? If anything, adults are just giant clumps of cells, so does that mean I can take life from you? "Oh, but we can feel---" So can a tree but you can't hear trees scream when you cut them down with a chainsaw, can you?
I'm just saying, two plus two doesn't equal three, it equals four :/
People who say that abortion is needed because of the fact that rape victims exist, I feel are missing a MAJOR point in their arguments. And before you start blowing off on me, at least be willing to hear my perspective here.
I don't think it's a problem of abortion being easily accessible. I think it's a problem of rapists not having consequences.
1 in 3 women globally are sexually assaulted. Thus, the concept of a woman/girl becoming pregnant against her will unfortunately doesn't sound out of the norm at all. And regardless of the statistical reasons that women TRULY get abortions for, let's think about another aspect here.
If rape is such a common thing (which it is unfortunately) and women keep aborting the children they’re getting as a result of being raped, doesn’t that mean we should put MUCH more pressure to condemn and stop the rape endemic—which is why these specific sets of victims would hypothetically be getting abortions in the FIRST place? We’re only treating the SYMPTOMS here and not looking at the actual CANCER that keeps spreading.
If you guys put as much pressure on our justice systems as much as you push for abortion, it would probably gain more a productive response in the long run. Because I think we can all agree that we just want forced pregnancy to be stopped as much as possible.
Abortion is a rapist’s dream because then there’s a chance that if they do get you pregnant, that you’d be supported (if not pressured) to then erase the evidence of what he did to you.
If we're really gonna be saying that the circumstances a child is born into should dictate whether or not it should continue to develop, then I'm very sure a large percentage of us would not even be here today if that logic were to actually be implemented. If you look back in your family history enough, someone must've either gotten raped or put into a hard situation.
We need to crack on these corrupt justice systems that don't punish rapists accordingly, not have the children pay for the sins of the father.
I definitely don't like the way how conservatism handles abortion in some cases (because I feel besides making hospitals, there's still not much that's being improved), but I most certainly do not agree with the notion that the circumstances in which a child is made should dictate it's right to live. If that were true, I wouldn't be alive to make this post.
If rape is something you are so concerned about (as am I), then why aren't we banging on the doors of these justice systems instead of the doors of these clinics?
I'm pretty sure that if women are doing something as a result of a bigger problem, shouldn't we address the BIGGER problem then?
Note To Society #1
Unless you are vegan, pro-immigration, anti-conversion therapy (centers that LGBT+ children are sent to to be ‘corrected’), against children being sold into sex slavery, etc, than you are not pro-life. You are pro-birth. Please remember this.
To start off, I really appreciate you not being aggressive or trying to find a fault in my words. However, getting an abortion doesn’t really help a woman heal mentally at all. Nearly half of all women who get an abortion regret it later, and a lot of them become seriously depressed. I get how carrying the baby and giving birth to them can cause a lot of stress and pain, but so can an abortion. It’s not very uncommon for a woman to start hemorrhaging from the abortion pill, and don’t even get me started on the other option for an abortion. It’s so sad and horrible for a woman who was raped, though, because it’s a lose-lose situation for her. But, her loss doesn’t have to be severe; there are many places that offer help to women who are thinking about aborting her baby. They can offer mental and physical help, most of them give baby diapers and other needs out for free. Just because you were put in a horrible situation doesn’t mean there’s no one to help you. If you seek help, help will come, and you will be okay again.
I have a question. We obviously share very different beliefs which I acknowledge and respect, but what is your opinion on abortion if the person was raped? Especially if they were raped underage. I as well believe that creating life is beautiful but that just seems downright murderous and disgusting. I would like to know your stance on it. Or, perhaps, if the parent would die during birth what would your opinion be?
that is a good question, and I myself used to think about it a lot and I didn’t really know my own opinion on it. However, my religion teacher showed me her opinion and why that’s her opinion and that really helped me and I hope (and think) it could help you too. She said something like this:
What is this? (And to which we answered a baby in the womb) Let’s say this baby was planned and the parents are very happy about it
Now what is this? (to which we again answered a baby in the womb) Let’s say this baby was conceived by rape. They look the same, don’t they. It’s because they are the same.
and as for if the parent would be likely to die, you never know what could happen. It’s still possible the parent could end up alive and well, and it’s also possible the parent could die from the abortion. No matter if you choose death or life, you could still die. There’s always still a chance you could die no matter what you choose. You could risk it to kill another living being, or you could risk it giving another living being a chance at a full, long life. I believe that you should always choose life, but though I strongly disagree with the people who don’t, I can see part of where you’re coming from.

that would make murdering a baby less horrific than fulfilling your pregnancy. it might just be that ive always been told and believe myself that abortion is horrible, but i believe that abortion is much more horrific than creating life.
y’all know, most people don’t even know what goes down during an abortion. it’s horror movie level graphic, and it’s to a baby, an itty-bitty child who’s DNA will never be replicated.
why in the world does everyone think that just because I support my beliefs online I automatically think that this is the only way people should ever live and if otherwise your the worst person on the face of the earth??? I’m sorry if I came off as malicious, all that I’ve been trying to say is that if you want a baby, go make one and give birth to it. If you don’t want a baby then don’t risk the chance of making one. People cause their own problems and then kill them because they don’t like it, and I think that’s horrific. (Also, what did I say so terribly that you think I should kill myself??? And that someone who wants babies to live is stupid or gonna go attack someone bc they aborted a baby??? Like chill out lol bro)
again i ask, what makes a baby in the womb so different from a born baby that justifies it being legal to kill it?
The fact that the fetus in the uterus needs the body of a whole ass different person to off of may give you a hint.
No one has a right to your body.
if you kill a baby inside a pregnant woman just because there’s a small chance that it could be painful, the population would decrease substantially. And, no, you shouldn’t be forced to give organs and blood regularly, because you shouldn’t be having sex and taking a chance at having a baby regularly if you don’t want the baby itself. If you wanna go get pregnant then you should face the consequences and have your baby.

and that’s so horrible that you can KILL that BABY? Because self control was lost, it’s ok to go shed a human being like it’s a piece of trash? After about 5 weeks it’s heart is beating just like yours and mine. That baby could have been the the president of the United States one day, but because you don’t like it being in you until it can exist outside the womb, you kill it. just for existing. that’s sadistic.
