When it comes to abortion, there is always a big discussion about whether or not a woman should have an abortion. Various arguments are involved, starting from religious, through moral, then personal arguments and attitudes. There are also huge misconceptions in the sea of these arguments, which do not contain valid arguments and verified information. The most common misconceptions and myths when it comes to abortion, you can read at the following link:
First, I want to emphasize that I am always in favor of improving education where all kids and teens will learn about the reproductive health of men and women, have sex education and learn methods of contraception. Sex must not be a taboo subject!
Education prevents a high percentage of unwanted pregnancies.
Second, I want to make my position clear when it comes to abortion.
Abortion is not a form of contraception.
Also, abortion is a health care and personal choice.
I would now turn my attention to the opponents of abortion.
The source of their arguments against abortion are different, but the arguments are to fight for the life of a baby who is in a pregnant womb.
I must say that there are so many hypocrites among them. This hypocrisy is reflected in the superficiality of their struggle for the baby’s life. We need to know the difference between pro-life and pro-birth people attitudes.
Pro-birth is only concerned that the child be born. There is no concern for the child’s medical condition after birth, the ability of the parents to support and care for the child, that the child’s needs be met, or that the child be born into a safe and loving home. The entire focus, all of it, is on the idea that the woman should be forced to give birth no matter the circumstances, and no matter what suffering the child will experience after birth. Pro-birth people are only concerned with life between conception and birth. They don’t care what happens after that and definitely don’t care about the life of the pregnant woman.
Pro-life takes all of these factors into consideration. There is focus on ensuring that the child after birth will receive any medical care that it needs, and a willingness to allow the child not to be born if it has medical conditions incompatible with life outside of the womb, because the goal is to prevent suffering, not simply force birth. True pro life also shows concern for the child throughout its life, not only up until birth. Will the child be properly fed? Clothed? Housed? Educated? Will the child be wanted and loved? While true pro life doesn’t have to support abortion in these cases, the belief does support ideas that are shown to prevent abortion, such as access to birth control and medically accurate comprehensive sex education, as well as policies that support children once they’re born, like public education programs and strong safety net programs that help women provide for the children they give birth to. Abuse prevention is also part of a true pro life platform.
I need to ask you a few questions:
What if the pregnancy is the result of rape?
What if an anomaly of fetus is detected?
What if childbirth can endanger a woman's health?
What if there are no economic conditions for raising a child?
What if contraceptives have failed?
What if a woman just doesn't want to be a mother?
If you don know what "queer" is, learn here:
In Poland, abortion has been banned by the government, even in cases where a fetal anomaly is detected. Women will be forced to give birth to children with abnormalities or to have abortions illegally. Illegal abortions are not safe for a woman's health and life.
See the following pictures. These are primarily women, but also men, who fight together for the basic right of a woman to decide about her body.
The protest is massive and lasts for days. Huge support for women in Poland.
A message to the president of Poland and every man who thinks women should not have right to make a decision about her body and pregnancy:
Also, you can do this:
Women have the right to decide about their body, about their pregnancy, they have the right to have abortion if they want.
Be human rights activists, support oppressed people in any way you can.
Very nice article. I agree with a lot of this.
