Pro-choice vs Anti-choice [Abortion] - Comments

Agreed. A lot of people who are "pro-life" are basically just "pro-birth", they don't care what happens to the child after, they assume foster care is always an acceptable alternative... most times, it's terrible.

I'm pro-choice but none of my friends are. My best friend is a boy and he's "pro-birth" and that really bothers me because I don't believe men should have right to decide what women do with their own bodies.

If they were the one who had to be pregnant, then go right ahead. I want kids someday, but I'm teetering on the edge because I'm not comfortable enough to let any doctor/anyone come near me in that way. I don't even want to try and get birth control because I don't want to go through the exam. It really makes me uncomfortable to have a stranger poking around down there. T.T

If I were to get pregnant, I would be freaking out for nine months straight. The idea of having something growing inside of me just... really makes me uncomfortable at this point in time. I have a lot of maturing to do before I have children and if I don't get over this, then I'll probably adopt a child out of the foster system.

Exactly. It's good that you and your boyfriend are looking up for that. It just bugs me when people assume I'm going to magically change my mind. And to be honest I care a lot more about the realationship I actually have right now that I want rather than a metaphorical baby I may/may not want at some point in the future. Plus, right now I live in an appartment block where the lease actually states that young children can't live here.

@ little motorkitty;
Exactly. My boyfriend and I are saving up for him getting a vasectomy. We both do not want children and we want to enjoy our sex life. Since we're getting married I think this is the best choice for us, meanwhile I'm looking on going on the pill, but still, it's always a possibility and I want to have that choice in case something happens. We really do not want children, not ever, but it is unfair and quite stupid to tell a couple to suck it up and remain celibate if you do not want to end up pregnant. It's unrealistic.

@ cadaveres literarios
Yes, exactly! And I hate when people tell me if I don't want to get pregnant I shouldn't have sex. So if I never want kids, do I remain celibate for the rest of my life? And plus, birth control does fail, I've heard of people who have gotten pregnant while using condoms, the pill and the implant. I'm pretty sure they shouldn't have to have a baby as some sort of punishment for something that isn't even their fault.

I completely agree with you. My number one reason why I would get an abortion if it ever occurs that I get pregnant is because I do not want a baby. I don't think that's selfish; I think it's your choice and nobody should be able to judge it.

On top of that add on some epilepsy, some big possibilities of Alzheimer or dementia, rheumatoid arthritis with the changes of getting your hands and feet deformed and immobilized, diabetes, heart disease, and yeah, no thank you.
