[ Also, do you know what hyperemesis gravidarum, pre-eclampsia, and ectopic pregnancies are? Do you know how physically hellish pregnancy can be for a woman? Do you know all of the different ways that pregnancy can cause mental and emotional distress to a woman? Do you know how emotionally scarring it can be to give a child up for adoption? Or do you just not care about any of that, which proves that your views on abortion are incredibly hateful?]
I’ll just answer both your questions here, first you assume I don’t care because I don’t believe in killing the child they don’t want? This is, in fact, false. Though I suspect you assumed I’d answer that way, I’ve yet to meet a person who’s pro-life because they don’t care about women. So yes, I’m aware you’re trying to bait me but that’s alright.Moving on to the rest, yes I know what hyperemesis gravidarum, preeclampsia, and ectopic pregnancies are. My mother had hyperemesis gravidarum while pregnant with my youngest brother. Yes I know that pregnancies can be tough, again I’ll direct you back to my mother who almost died with both my younger brothers. Was she pushed to have an abortion during her third pregnancy? Yes, she almost died with my first brother and the second was due within a year of that, her mother pushed her simply because she was worried about my mother’s life. I understand that and so did my mother, she didn’t actually intend to become pregnant with my youngest brother when she did, but life happens and she intended to take responsibility for that. Not to mention she knows what it’s like to feel a child inside of your body and she can’t convince herself that what she’s feeling isn’t human. So yes I know what those are and I know that women can survive them. I’d like to know why do you believe women are so weak?
If you’re wondering whether I believe women should have an abortion ever, under any circumstances, my answer is yes. If the mother is dying, that’s all, and that’s because I’d prefer to lose one life rather than two, and even then I feel that the situation is an awful one.
As for the emotionally scarring part of adoption, do you truly believe that women are callous enough to not care what happens to a child as long as they don’t see it happen? You believe that a women would rather kill their child because it would be easier on them than giving it away. Also are you able to explain the logic behind thinking that a women would become emotionally scarred from seeing her child go off to have a chance at life in a good home (because she didn’t want it) so instead she’d rather have it killed.
Perhaps it would have been easier to simply tell you that my views don’t stem from hate in any way, but I doubt you’d have believed it if that were all I said, there’s still a good chance you don’t. So if you prefer to call it hateful that I believe women are stronger and more compassionate than the pro-choice side gives them credit for, I can’t stop you.
