I’m 100% ok with abortion. I just need ppl to understand that abortion is great! But if we’re just going to engage in behavior that will not abort a fetus but instead cause a human being to be disabled on purpose is easily avoidable and sad tbh. FASD and babies born to withdrawal are so common and life long consequences
I’ve just seen girls saying “I live in a red state this baby coming out one way or another” with alcohol and I’m like NOOOO alcohol won’t do anything! 😭 it will just cause disability which isn’t cool! We definitely need more parenting classes, access to abortion and birth control and health/sex Ed.
As a woman from a heavy deep red state. I wasn’t given sex ed, I was given scare tactics, told I was going to hell, taught to not “give myself away until marriage” and had to educate myself on everything I know now as a 20 year old. So yes, red states only focus on religion, and that if you access abortion you will go to hell.
Abortion is not ✨ great ✨. It’s the best of a situation that shouldn’t have happened. If you don’t want a child that’s fine but don’t use abortion as a form of birth control. I’m not saying that’s entirely what you’re saying but it sounds similar. Do I think women should have the right to choose? Absolutely. But when those same women drink and smoke and get abortions as birth control that’s when it gets out of control
Abortion isn’t birth control—it’s what people turn to when birth control fails or isn’t accessible. Calling it birth control ignores medical reality and contradicts itself. You can’t say you support letting women choose while also opposing the tools that give them real choices in the first place.
Not sure what drinking and smoking has to do with the validity of abortions 😭 and some women (I think like 18% of women getting abortions) have had more than 2 but we have to keep in mind that a lot of abuse victims will sneak away to have abortions secretly or are in situations where they are pressured into getting them. With proper sex education and access to contraceptives as well as better protections for abuse victims, repeat abortions would decrease significantly.
i think this idea that women use abortions as birth control is just fear mongering. sure there might be a few people who do that, the same way there are a few people who do weird shit with anything else. barely anyone is taking no preventative measures when it comes to having sex (unless they are uneducated abt bc) and just accepting the fact that they will keep getting pregnant
