My abortion was really one the most hated kind of abortion. I wasn't underage. I wasn't raped. I wasn't in medical need.
I got pregnant not through some fluke or 1 in a 100 contraceptive failure. I got pregnant because I was knowingly and willfully having unprotected sex. Out of wedlock too if that matters.
It was my own fault, I was being irresponsible because I knew I could always get an abortion if I got pregnant. My abortion was as close as it comes to 'using abortion as a contraceptive' as anti-choicers love to say.
I didn't abort it because my health was in danger or because I didn't have the ability to care for it or whatever else. I did it purely because I didn't want a child. I wanted sex and I didn't want to deal with any consequences from it.
There's no moral here. I don't feel bad about it whatsoever. I suffered no karmic consequences or punishment from god. My life is amazing. I want to rub this in the face of every conservative and anti-choicer. I did the terrible thing. I had an abortion for the most selfish of reasons and literally nothing happened. Suck it.
I'm sorry, but even if, for now, there are not consequences of aborting your child, that doesn't mean that, in the future, you won't face them.
A lot of people think that they're above consequences, mainly if they're from God. But even in the "tinniest" mistakes, a huge ammount of consequences can happen, even if you don't want or expect them.
Also, if you didn't wanted to have a child, then you could've just give him/her to adoption. This is not about being conservative ( even if they're also pro life ), but about being moral and conscient, knowing that a fetus is STILL a human being, even if they aren't fully developed; and that you're not forced to be a parent, but you also can't just straight up be willing to end with his/her life.
You might not be facing anything bad right now, but if you still walk through the path you're going through, you'll face things you REALLY don't want to.
So, please, try to come closer to God and ask for forgiveness. Of course, it might not be easy to recognize your mistakes and face the consequences He'll allow for you to have this change of heart, but please, allow Him to give you a chance to turn away from this path, even if you can't undo what you did.
Honestly you should shut the fuck up. Not everyone follows Christianity and it's her body. Pregnancy can kill women, and there's been a 5% increase in the states that have issued abortion bans including Texas with a 56% increase in pregnancy mortality rates. You all constantly bring up adoption but hardly anyone in orphanages gets adopted and most have to age out of the system. On top of that, why not already adopt some of the kids that are already here that need a good home? Not to mention that you'd just have a kid that's unneeded and unwanted. Every kid should be a wanted kid and pregnancy shouldn't be treated as a punishment for women.
I never said pregnancy should be a punishment for women???
I just said that it wasn't right for me to end with the life of a baby just like that.
And we can't assume that the kid who get in a orphanage never will find happiness and people who care about him/her, even if he/she doesn't get adopted.
I know it's pretty sad to see those kids not being adopted, you're absolutely right about that, because that's what, unfortunely happens, but I can't just accept ending with someone's life like that.
Every kid has a purpose in this world, having parents or not. We can't limit their journey just based on how we think their lives MIGHT be, but we need to hope God will do something for them, because He'll never stop caring about them.
Almost every pro lifer considers pregnancy as a way to punish a woman who is acting in a way they don't like even if they say that they don't, they treat it that way
It's still her body and her choice at the end of the day. If a kid is born to someone who doesn't want them, they'll probably be abandoned or abused. And not to mention they'd know they weren't wanted and that would probably cause them to feel guilty growing up. Would it really be better to have someone born into that?
Well, I can't agree on sex before mariage ( or any other kind of sexual relationship out of the way God made ), but I can't, like, violate whoever does it, even if it's wrong. And turning a child into a object of punishment for women it's quite extreme.
While I can't deny on the scenario of these kids being abused by parents who didn't wanted them and didn't thought of the possibility of putting them in an orphanage ( since this happen a lot, unfortunely ), I still stand against abortion because every kid has a chance to meet God and have their life transformed by Him.
As Psalm 27:10 say: Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me.
Even if they get abused, neglected or even worse, they can still find God, we just need to have hope they'll meet Him.
While the trauma they might get won't be erased, they can still rest on Him, because He'll embrace and love them.
Okay but why should your religion dictate the rights of women? Not everyone is a Christian and it makes no sense to use one religion to control others. Women can die during child birth and can die due to pregnancy complications since roe got overturned a lot of doctors will refuse to treat you. It's the women who are carrying it, and they should be the say so over what happens to their own bodies, and not the government.
