What being PROCHOICE means and why forced abortion is wrong
This is a rant*** it cannot go into any other room than this one. Okay, this room is not a room I'm in, because I am prochoice. and by admin guidance I was told to post here, because it was the appropriate room and if admin thinks it needs to be moved into the prochoice room then they will do that. I actually feel bad for going into a prolife support room and discussing what im about to discuss but again, i was told to come here. This is not supposed to be a debate about abortion itself, unless you want to debate the topic which i would gladly debate why you're wrong. Because this is wrong and there is no way around it.
This started because lately, I have seen
comments from multiple different peopleabout the same thing. Forced abortion, particularly forced abortion on teenagers.
The entire point of being proCHOICE is supporting the legality of abortion, allowing women regardless of age, this choice where they can be guided and monitored by a medical professional for an abortion. It's not "pro-forced abortion" or "pro abortion".
Just because it is legal, does not mean you can completely strip someone of that choice and force them into it. That goes against everything prochoice people stand for and is extremely contradicting.
It doesn't matter if this person is 13 and your minor child or 29 and your partner. That person has a choice BY LAW. and if they are saying "I don't want an abortion" you cannot do jack shit about that. As a matter of fact, let's say I am pregnant but I don't want an abortion and my so is making me feel forced, he makes an appointment and drives to a clinic. If i look at a doctor and say "I don't want to do this. I feel forced"
They don't do it. Because you cannot touch someone's body or force someone to do anything with their body unless they CONSENT. Especially medical procedures.
Another thing, we all feel differently about our pregnancies. And this is okay. You can miscarry at 5 weeks and be absolutely heart broken and crushed while another person is sad, but okay. Or doesn't feel anything at all. Just because you feel a certain way about pregnancy, like if you think it's just a clump of cells, it doesn't give you the damn right to tell another woman how she should feel about her own pregnancy.. Because again, her body. Her pregnancy. She gets to feel however she wants about it. This can go the other way around too.
"You need to get over it, it's a clump of cells" it may have not been like that to her. Doesn't matter if you say it a hundred times to her, it doesn't make it true to her if she feels differently. And now you're just a jerk.
So thank you for reading if you've read this far. Good day.
I'll post the screen shot from the admin telling me to put his here if I need to.
Edit: If this is really all over the place I'm sorry. I've already written it in the prochoice room and it was removed so I had to email admin to figure out if I could post again. I was probably better said then. I'm also in a massive amount of pain and I will go over it again when I feel better and try to organize it better but I don't want to delete and re-type this all over again. Also apparently there's comments I can't see. So if you're ignored sorry.
edit: I find it hilarious that I was told that this post had to go in the pro-life room and now it's in the rant room. The rules literally say you cannot post about abortion unless it is in the pro-choice pro-life rooms. But that's cool too. That's why I emailed admin about where to post this and if I could. At least it wasn't deleted and I don't feel like I'm intruding on the pro-life people who already agree with me because they're against abortion in general.
