For years and years women have been fighting for equal rights. They fought for the right to vote, they are currently fighting for equal wages in the work place, but they fail to realize they have a right no man will ever be entitled to, abortion. These women feel a sense of entitlement, despite the major health risks and the disappointment and regret that may come afterwards.
Now in order for this not to be biased and a giant rant, I decided to research the reasons why pro-choicers believe what they believe. I came across the article on Huffpost, and it was a list of reasons why someone agrees with abortions. Though most were ridiculously foolish some made me think a little. There was how motherhood is such a chore, and how the "embryo" can't feel and therefore isn't human. But what about the unhealthy pregnancies, where either the mother or child or both has the possibility of dying during childbirth? As terrible as it may sound, getting the abortion is still the wrong thing to do. There is still a possibility of the baby living after childbirth in this situation and if tragedy strikes you can at least say you tried.
Another article posted onto Huffpost was written by this lady who had been through not one but two abortions. Not only had she gone through to but she was proud of it and wanted the world to know. The article in general was nonsensical. There was this this one paragraph that left me baffled, I definitely questioned after reading this, it stated: "As we all know, you can divorce your spouse but once you've brought a child into this world, you are responsible for the safety, health, education, and well being of that person for at least the next 18 years. Not to mention financial obligation. Talk about a loss of freedom." Now I know what just about every smart and responsible adult disagrees with this woman. It sounded extremely selfish and as if she was oblivious to the situation that is adulthood. If you don't feel fit enough to become a parent then you aren't fit enough to the deed. Contrary to this woman's belief, divorce and abortions are actually nothing alike, other than the fact that they are both results of bad decision making. Divorce is becoming separated from someone you once loved. Abortion is killing a baby for something the baby had no involvement in.
Carm.com, a Christian website, also wrote about how abortion is wrong and they were quoted as saying, "Abortion is the ultimate from of selfishness. It puts the mother's convenience and desire's above the life of her own baby" and I couldn't agree more.
The Pro-Choice movement also tries to ratify issue by saying that the fetus can't feel anything or that it isn't alive. Well a recent study done by the university of Notre Dame found that fetuses develop brain cells around 4 weeks after fertilization, which helps them develop feelings and thinking power.
Now in political cases, this topic is widely debated. Most Democrats say abortion should be legal meanwhile Republicans highly disagree. Now what doesn't make sense to me and millions of other people is abortion is legal but they're debating gun control to "keep kid's safe" and now they have legalized marijuana however it will be "childproof". If we're that keen on children's safety shouldn't we stop killing them?
