anti-abortion

“now that I’m safe, I’m pro-choice”
Do you consider that a "pro-choice" or "pro-life" message?
To me, it is pro-life. “pro-choice” is undermined by the “I’m safe” statement. To me, it is making an obvious contradiction to emphasize on the being “safe”.
I doubt everyone who is pro-life would agree that the graphic sends a pro-life message and I am sure plenty of people who are pro-choice have their reasons for thinking the message conveys a pro-choice method. Everyone interprets things differently and with that being said, I don’t like or want to be put down for my opinion. I don’t mind hearing other people’s points of view -I actually like hearing them, as long as they’re not unnecessarily rude. It helps me be more open-minded when I have more then my own opinion to consider.
With that being said I am very much against abortion.
According to thefreedictionary.com, murder is defined by the unlawful killing of one human by another. Which would mean that abortion is not considered murder by someone. Must be why it is still legal. How can anyone justify killing a baby? If that baby had a face they could plaster all over the media, more people would be against abortion. (What is the difference between changing your mind after finding out your pregnant, and having an abortion & changing your mind *right after* the baby is born and deciding to murder it. It's the same logic.) Why is it ok to have an abortion? WHY is it legal? If a person doesn’t want to have a baby then they should not be having sex. Instead women are having sex and using abortion as a last resort form of birth control. Why isn’t adoption their choice? Someone actually feels better about themselves for killing their baby then they would had they given the child up for adoption? People are paying thousands of dollars to adopt a child and if you’re going to pay to kill yours why not just give it to someone for free. Most states, if not all, have safe haven laws. I guess too many people aren’t willing to temporarily sacrifice their body to do the right thing.
As for people who conceived due to situations they couldn’t control, like rape, I still feel like adoption is the way to go. So you didn’t ask for it? Well two wrong’s don’t make a right. AND only 1% of abortions in the U.S are done because of rape or incest. A whopping 93% are done for “social reasons” (the child was unwanted). and 47% of all abortions are performed on women who have had a previous abortion. (Statistic reference)
I am ANTI-ABORTION; I am not "anti-choice". The bottom line is women HAVE a choice and that is whether or not to have sex. That is most definitely their choice and it is a choice that should always be protected. However once they make the choice to have sex they need to accept all the consequences that come with it. ALL of them. Stop making excuses and outs for irresponsibility.
