I have a question for you guys.

It is their lives though—2 adult lives already well in progress. The baby has to be grown in the womb and wouldn’t be able to get to the point of being a viable fetus without the mom. Then the baby will require an 18 year time commitment and $233,610 to raise them and get them to adulthood. People say well just give the baby up for adoption (um have you ever grown a baby inside of you for 9 months and then just hand it over to some stranger??, not to mention the already taxed foster care system), people say well they just shouldn’t have been so promiscuous and they’ll just have to live with the consequences. Well I’ve lived through it and I know that all that is too simplistic. I wasn’t being promiscuous at all, I was using protection and yet I still got unexpectedly pregnant. I was not prepared in the least bit! I did decide to have her and spend my life raising her and paying for her life, but I did so of my own accord and I cannot imagine how it would have been if I hadn’t have been able to make that choice on my own. I’m actually pretty sure it would have been a miserable horrible life for both of us. So yeah—you won’t ever find me presuming to tell anyone else what they should or shouldn’t do when they’re faced with that situation. That’s why I am pro-choice and also why I would never judge anyone who decided to have an abortion. It’s their life, their choice—not mine.@MalteseFalconPunch

When a woman seeks care for a pregnancy, she is advised by medical professionals that it is wise not to announce it until 20 weeks, at which point the fetus will be a “viable fetus” with a chance at survival. This means that if the fetus is born prior to 20 weeks, it has zero chance whatsoever at surviving. Also this world is quite the mess already—my daughter was 3 years old when the terrorists flew planes into the twin towers and all I could think of was “what the heck kind of horrible world had I brought this innocent human life into!?” And it hasn’t gotten any better—it’s gotten worse! Also, bringing a baby into a life where their parents are not prepared or equipped to raise it is not protecting human life—it’s more like condemning it to a lifetime of suffering. This is actually what is inhumane (without compassion for misery or suffering). And if anyone who denies women reproductive rights doesn’t have the $250 grand to fork over to pay for the human being and also the 18 years it takes to dedicate to raising the human being, then it’d be better if they minded their own business in my opinion.@MalteseFalconPunch
