I have to say, especially in view of that picture, that presenting abortion as a humane alternative to bad parenting, without so much as considering the idea of adoption, is an argument I consider more than a little bit strange.Skyweir wrote:Agreed Sarge.
Apologies Nihilo .. now that you and Nano have identical Avs and Sig blocks I didnt spot the different Nic.
But yes I know it is something you would condone and applaud.
To be clear ... it is as Sarge says. Its unpleasant and I understand that IS its purpose .. but it is no more courageous than me posting pics of horrendously battered living and murdered children who are victims of domestic violence... and forced to such lives by parents or guardians that dont give a shit about them.
Is that a better or worse outcome for a child?
There are parents who should absolutely never ever have had children, that dont want them, neglect them, beat them, murder them ... is LIFE better for a child in such circumstances.. to some no more than a delayed death.
I read just yesterday of a mother who dismembered her BABY and burned its remains and put them in her bag under the house so .. she hoped theyd never be found.
I read last week of a man who RAPED a 9 month old baby, choked it to death because it cried. There are thousands of cases of child neglect and abuse ... is LIFE better for them in such circumstances.
Its naive and narrow minded to assume LIFE is preferable extinguished cruelly after birth .. where such parents could avoid such ends by ideally birth control in whatever form that is taken.
There are some people who are not FIT to parent. Such should never imo but I dont control that.
I wanted my children, the four I lost to miscarriage and still birth ... NATURES abortion ... and the three that survived child birth . and are now adults. For me they are my religion.
I personally have never had to consider abortion, for health reasons or any other reason. Not all are made the same way, lovely humans alike have no desire to parent. Be that as it may.
Women are not just hosts or incubators .. some women for good reason require a pregnancy terminated.
And despite that .. abortion rates are falling and in decline.
I know two women who had abortions, I dont know why .. and never asked. I know it was one of the most difficult decisions of their lives. I am not here to judge them or anyone .. I havent walked in their shoes not know their minds. And shit like this stunt for shock value is horrendous for such.
There is a spectrum of reasons that a woman may be brought to the point where they may need to consider terminating a pregnancy.
Birth control per abortion is occurring less and less these days ... and THAT is as it should be ... prevention is better than the cure.
But there remain valid reasons a woman may require a termination and Nano of all people should know that.
Not cool .. not cool at all
I'm no expert on the subject, but my impression is that a very few cases of medically necessary late term abortions are being used to justify in practice several orders of magnitude more late term elective abortions that could more safely be carried to term, delivered alive, and adopted out if unwanted, to the probable benefit of everyone concerned including the mother, who risks more both physically and psychologically in most all cases by having an abortion than by not having an abortion. Forcibly tearing a developed baby out of the womb carries a great many more risks than pro choice advocates want advertised.
No part of my body has a face except for my face.
