to whoever left me a message saying i was missing the point... i know what i was talking about isn't the whole pro-life argument. the argument is, a baby is a baby from the moment it's conceived, therefore if you're having an abortion you're killing someone. i have to say, i do think that having no limit for abortions (the fact that you can have one up to 9 months, basically) is horrible. for me the limit would be the stage when if you actually gave birth to the baby it would survive on its own. if you haven't decided whether you wanted an abortion or not by that point then you're a fcking muppet (apart from special cases, like if the foetus had serious health problems)... but anyway, my point is, pro-lifers talk all sort of bullshit as well. like... women didn't use to have that many abortions illegally... oh really? not too sure about that. or if sex education was better we wouldn't need abortion. i'm sorry, but you can get pregnant even if you use contraception, so... and no matter how much sex ed you do people are always gonna be stupid and won't use contraception as well. to me, abortions are the sort of thing that women are always going to get, whether it's legal or not. it's like drugs, people are always going to take them. and if there is one thing i hate, is how they show you pictures of aborted foetuses. it's just disgusting.
i strongly believe in a woman's right to have a baby or not. if we can't control that, then we're back to square one. and now i could get into the whole gender issue and say that not having the right to abortion means that women will always be considered different from men for biological reasons and i don't think that's right, but well...
sorry for the rant. i've just been thinking about all this. ;p gonna write some more essay now and then i'm going to a graaduate fair. should be interesting... hopefully.
