Imagine going to hell and losing your beautiful curls to a fuckass bob I'd be maladapted and unstable too

(ref under the cut:)

also idk i just can't help but think so many stories esp in recent years are about women who do NOT want to raise a child but never for a second consider abortion. and if you bring up that like well if she was horrified about her accidental unwanted pregnancy then she should have had an abortion, people love to respond that supporting the right to choose means you have to support when women choose to have the baby

and it's just like. okay but this is a story. jenna is a fictional character who was written in this way for a reason and not a real woman who has the real agency to Actually Make A Choice (just like all the other characters in fictional stories in the last 20 years who end up unexpectedly pregnant and make it clear that this is undesirable for them). and people are like well you need the pregnancy for the story to happen and jenna is also pro-choice (and thus so is the musical) because she says so when she rejects the doctor presenting that option initially she's just making her choice to keep this baby that she initially very much does not want. and yeah i'm sure sara bareilles herself is in fact pro choice and i of all people understand the need for a potentially unrealistic plot contrivance to occur in order to allow the story to occur, but why is it always this fucking story

why is it always a woman who does NOT want a baby and is not in a place in her life to raise a child refusing an abortion for no stated reason except she doesn't want one even in the same breath as she reaffirms she also doesn't want a child, and then learning to love and want her child through the process of her pregnancy and in doing so love herself. (in the less uplifting version of this kind of story, the pregnancy just makes protagonist's life worse and miserable)
