Couldn't agree more. I'm amazed that the conversation has turned to "forced abortions." Complete straw man. There is absolutely zero evidence that forced abortions happen in the U.S. In fact, we know that 95+% of women do not regret their decision to terminate a pregnancy. <br /><br />If women were forced to get abortions, as a feminist I would totally be up in arms about that. But they're not. Pro-choice is about having a choice and being supported with whichever choice you make.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5226333275511752061.post-22386632701320125022015-10-20T08:12:59.371-07:002015-10-20T08:12:59.371-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5226333275511752061.post-1077812098770837902015-10-20T07:48:12.877-07:002015-10-20T07:48:12.877-07:00It is beyond infuriating that I have to explain to...It is beyond infuriating that I have to explain to folks that they shouldn't get to just decide when a women shouldn't get to decide for herself bc abortion makes THEM uncomfortable. It's fairly simple. Whatever the damn reason, if a women wants an abortion (especially since almost all are done in 1st trimester anyway), her reasons should only matter to her (and maybe her partner). Period. That's bodily autonomy. If I don't want to do the pregnancy thing again, you can't make me. If you discount my wishes on what happens to my body just because my body happens to have the general capability of growing a new human from scratch, I will not tolerate your opinion(s). Telling me that, despite doing what I need to in order to prevent future pregnancies, it's not actually up to me......that's just insulting.
