Taboo

Here's some fun stuff that anti-abortion, pro adoption, pro birth people can ignore along with quite literally all other logic...

101,666
That's the number of children in the foster care system that are eligible for adoption in the USA.
1,058,490
Thats the number of abortions according to lifenews.com from 2012-2014.
Imagine if all of those children were born...

Lets think about the welfare system now.
You can hate the welfare system and the fact that you're helping pay into it for people (like myself) that don't have work and or can't provide for their children on the money they make.
But there could be 1,058,490 more... on top of the 101,666 that you already provide for...

What about the mothers that literally would die trying to birth get to the point that they could birth their child due to an illness during pregnancy. What about the children that aren't even of age and were raped by a friend or family member, do they have to carry that around the rest of their lives in a physical form, a pregnant belly under their shirt, a child that will share features of the rapist that already tortured and scared them enough for life, a human that may come looking for them later in life and find out that as a little girl their biological mother was raped and then forced to continue an unwanted pregnancy to create them... so that child can find out later in life that their mother didn't want them and their father was a cruel human that did terrible things to people and they are the result of that? What about the women that are trying to prevent pregnancy via birth control in some method, but that method fails... something that would alter their lives and throw them off course if they had to go through it, though they don't want to go through it and they tried to prevent it... Why are we not thinking about these people? Would they be viewed equally, as "baby killers" because they made a choice to not live in a life of pity for every time you ask where the father is or another person finds out that the product of that rape is the child of a rapist and boy lets not even get started on how cruel children can be... teasing... taunting... bullying... you know thats how serial killers begin... Nurture isn't always stronger than nature. Would you be okay with abortion in these peoples cases? any of them?

Would you look your daughter right in the face and tell her that she couldn't have an abortion while she was puking blood, unable to bathe herself, urinating on herself every time she threw up, throwing up every time she tried to even think about sipping water, let alone eating anything... would you look at your child and tell her that she had to power through it, knowing damn well that the chances of her making it through with or without that baby inside of her (the one killing her) were slim? Would you walk in and hold her hand as she saves her own life by "ending" another's life? Would you call her a killer? Would you help her heal from it or would you shun her for self preservation, self defense?

Understand that your God is the only one that can judge you, their God is the only one that can judge them, my God is the only one that can judge me... and we don't all share the same set of beliefs.
Your politics and your religion have NO PLACE in my body. If I were to make these choices for myself ever in my life, I have to live with them... I have to answer for them. Not you, not now, not ever.
