Look at the statistics, everybody uses that same damn excuse but do you realise how few of completed abortions involve a woman who was raped? Do you understand how hard it is for a woman to become pregnant from rape (do to the stress put on the body from the confrontation)? I think this is an old discussion, it's been done to death and nobody changes their POV so just sit back and enjoy the poem.
Does this translate to any raped and subsequently pregnant women should not be allowed to abort?

You know that abortion is one of the most divisive issues on the planet, but you title the thread "I Hope This Doesn't Make Anyone Mad"?

Sure...most enjoyable thing I've read all day...

I'm pro-choice...but not as much as I'm pro "don't be an irresponsible fuckwit", which I feel applies to both pre, and post pregnancy situations.
To each their own ends and means.
Some people aren't ready, and have fucked up...it's often the most responsible choice, and breaks what is evidently a potential cycle of irresponsible behaviour.
Not everyone is equipped emotionally and financially to have a child, I'd rather see someone with a successful life and situation raise a child at the point they're truly ready than just bring one into a life of a constant shitstorm and uphill struggle, more than likely a cycle passed through generations.

But hey...that there's my point of view...I can understand the points for and against.
I don't think anything should be forced upon anyone.

i'm kinda pro choice, i'm kinda pro life. personally i think abortion is an unacceptable form of birth control but on the other hand, i can't make a women not do it. it's a touchy subject since you don't really have to look at a babies face and listen to it plead for it's life. for some it would numb them and make it easier. for other's it would be killing all the same.

i can't remember where i read it (i think time magazine) but there's an overwhelming statistic in north america that show that women who've had abortions regret having them afterwards. i rmeember it also saying that abortions have lasting effects on the female body.

I hope this makes people mad:

There was this van that I started noticing that was always parked in the same spot at this movie theater (I worked at a steak house right by the movie theater) and it had all these big pro life stickers all over the back and la piece de resistance novelty license plate on the back which read "I think therefore I'm Pro Life"so naturally it pissed me off. I don't care if some hick wants to let people know that he's pro life, but to say that pro choice people are stupid? I kept telling people I was going to kick the plate off, but I never did.

Instead I made this mock fetus one night during work, I took flour dough for it's skin and well the inside and I used aluminum foil for the skeletal structure, then I put the fetus, hotsauce and ketchup in a clear plastic bag and shook it up a bit. At the end of my shift I went outside with a few coworkers and I put it on the windshield. I was never so proud of myself as I drove home.

never saw the van again, true story.

Ditto. I didnt bother to read it, no offense, but i tend to think the pro-life bviewpoint is ignorant. Pro-lifers, in my experience anyway, tend to take the "pro lifers want everyone to get an abortion if they feel like it. Forget contraception, KILL BABIES, YAY!"


its just not like that. I personally support a womans right to do what ever she wants and/or needs with her body. Would I be happy with someone close to me getting an abortion? Not terribly, no. My sister is an irresponsible dipshit who aborted a baby, because she was irresponsible (for the record, she also adopted out a baby, which actually hurt more), and i have never forgiven her for it.


But it was her choice, and its my choice to judge her. It hurt, and her reasoning behind it is shitty, but its her body, and she can do with it what she chooses. For many other reasons, if she should choose to throw it under a bus, that would be just fine with me, but that does make the list of reasons why.
