“You think abortion is wrong? Don’t have one. I think killing people is wrong, so I’m not in the army. My tax dollars still go to fund it, though (in fact about 21 cents of each of my tax dollars). My tax dollars also go to keep prisoners on death row even though I think the death penalty is morally wrong. My tax dollars fund Guantanamo and Bagram, extraordinary rendition, and Jim DeMint’s salary, all of which I find disgusting. So why is abortion, a legal medical procedure, so remarkably different that we have to go overboard making sure tax dollars don’t fund it?”

That makes me feel even worse because of the discussion I had today with my mother.

About my father, being the asshole that he is.

How that my mother is so against him because he beat the shit out of her while pregnant with me and that I’m lucky to be alive since it was so bad they put it on the news and he went to jail blahblahblah.

It just hurts because she mentions it almost EVERY time I see her.

Yeah mum, thanks for reminding me EVERY time I see you that he obviously was trying to kill me just like he tried when I was born. Ughhhh. I fucking hate abortions and cruelty to kids. Even if you’re raped or whatever, give it up for fucking adoption. And don’t reblog going “OMG BUT WHAT IF YOU COULDN’T AFFORD TO KEEP IT OR THAT YOU’D GET KICKED OUT OF HOME OR THE BABY WOULD ‘SCRATCH AWAY’ AT MY INSIDES”

Wtf. Okay seriously, you don’t “keep” it, nor do you eat SHITLOADS either like most people think. It shows how weak you are if you abort it just because you’re homeless. Live with friends? blahblahblah. Anyway, reblogging this and fighting with me won’t get an answer. I just think people who get abortions are weak as fuck and are going to have to live with the fact they killed something with a heartbeat. If you’re devoid of any normal human emotions, then sure, be a shithead and go for it.

I really wish you’d had a tea, taken a deep breathe and I don’t know maybe…thought for a second before you’d written this.  Obviously you’ve had some huge trauma in your life that was completely unjust and undeserved to a child.  Abortion is available for some valid reasons,  it is a procedure that I think is grossly overused but it is there and available for women to decide to use.

And “even if you’re raped”.  Seriously?  You’re telling women who were forced to have sex against their will, who were not consenting to sex and thus was not accepting the consequences that happen because of it that they also should give birth to a life they weren’t prepared for, a life with someone who did something so horrific.

Your lack of sympathy and not being able to take off your bleeding hearts glasses is fucking appaling.

Adoption. The OP makes it sound like something easy, and it’s not. Unless you’re white, your baby most likely is going to end up in the system, going from foster home to foster home, having a really screwed up life because a lot of the foster ‘parents’ are only in it for a check. Even if you ARE white, your baby is most likely to end up in the same situation. What a great life for a child, mental/physical/sexual abuse, no stability, no long term friends, no money, and many, many obstacles in their way to securing a solid, hopeful future. Chances of finding a good adoptive or even long term, caring foster family are really, really slim.

Subsisting is better than not existing at all? I don’t think so, not in my personal opinion, not for anyone - especially not a child.

I’m not even going to touch the rape thing. That really, turns my stomach that someone could be so selfish. And of course, the lovely PhantomBacons covered that already.
