Don't people see how pro-choicers hate babies?

Oh man, I can't tell if you're trolling or being honest. I guess it's better to be safe than sorry. I will not be sarcastic, because you asked a question that I hope you expected to be answered honestly.

I am a pro-choice gal. Yep. And it isn't because I hate deformed children or many other misconceptions.

Woman could want/need an abortion for many reasons:

1) They were raped and did not want/cannot support the child. The mother may feel she could never love the child because they would only remind her of the trauma she endured. You may voice adoption then, but just waking up every morning and seeing the evidence of what happened can be very triggering. The mother may want to forget the entire experience, but that would be very difficult with it kicking inside of you every day for months. As for the support, many women have physical conditions that literally will not support a child, ultimately killing herself and maybe even the baby as well. Or it could simply be the mother could not provide food and shelter for the child, maybe while still in the womb.

2) The child will be born deformed. I will clarify because I know you think that means we hate deformed children, but that is untrue. The child will go through life with many restrictions that can make life extremely difficult for both the child and the child's family. Again, maybe the mother cannot support a child who needs extra medical care. Against popular belief, a fetus is not aware of what is happening and has literally not developed enough to feel pain yet. The mother is given the opportunity to never let the child feel the pain it very much will when it is born and growing up. Also, many times it isn't something like a weaker arm or underdeveloped brain, but serious illnesses where the baby will more than likely die in the first few years of its life-not every case, just sadly a possibility.)

3) The mother is young and very afraid. I know 16 and Pregnant and other similar programs kind of romanticize the teenage pregnancy, but the reality is many kids will be kicked out of their homes, lose all their friends, face high medical bills they have no way to pay, and face community black listing. Yes, some teens have very supportive homes, but that is just not a common reality.

4) The mother simply does not want a child. Okay, I know this one is going to be hard for you to hear, but it is still a valid reason, and while you might not agree with it, I think you should still respect that it is her body, her life, and her choice to make. Having a baby is not just a simple yes/no. It would take almost a year to have the child, one she may not even want, and in that time she: could lose her job, would go through emotional turmoil, may be completely alone, would casually build up a hefty amount of medical bills, then still have labor and post pregnancy things to deal with.

5) And this one sucks and I in no way support-the mother is being forced into the abortion by the father, the mothers own parents, or other people the mother holds as authoritative in her life. This could be a healthier, although still upsetting, way...force/threaten/manipulate into aborting the child, or a more brutal way...coat hanger, kicked repeatedly in the stomach, etc.

There are many more reasons and scenarios, but I'm already making this a long answer.

I, personally, do not want to have children on my own because I have a number of life-altering chronic illnesses and serious mental problems follow our family like the plague. I would feel so responsible if I found out my child had any of the things my family has gone through, but I know they would because everyone in my family does. I am actually planning on getting my ovaries removed in general. I refuse to sell my eggs, because that kind of defeats the purpose. Just like why many parents make the hard decision to abort a fetus instead of going through with the pregnancy and place it up for adoption. It isn't about OUR love for our children, but what the child will have to go through themselves.

For those who really want a child and who have been trying and they finally make one-good for you! If they find out they will have a mentally handicapped child and still go through with a pregnancy, that is fine as well. Many disabled children grow up to be decently happy and even able to live on their own. However, if they decide to abort, that is okay too. The fetus understands nothing until long after the legal abortion limit ends. The harsh reality is that many disabled kids grow up bullied and isolated from their peers (people suck so much, I know) and they will face many personal hurdles. It is possible to be a functioning member of society either way, but that's why it is called pro CHOICE and not pro ABORTION TO ALL FETUSES HUMANITY ENDS NOW.

I hope you learned a little more about the pro-choice side, and maybe even convinced you to change your mind?

You are the only one who sees this, on the grounds that it is now not proper. Professional-alternative folks don't hate toddlers. We think that every youngster must be a desired and cherished youngster, and we consider that women are humans and should get to make a decision what occurs inside of their bodies. Having a child may be a "miracle" to a girl who desires a baby, however to a girl who would not want to be pregnant, it can be whatever however. And childbirth is not any walk in the park. My possess mother used to be in labor for 36 hours and just about died before having an emergency Caesarian. No girl should ever be anticipated to undergo that style of affliction unwillingly. Anti-choicers are actually those who need to turn being pregnant into a punishment. How typically will we hear THEM say things like, "ladies who commit sexual sin just isn't allowed to escape the consequences of their actions"? That's proper -- to them, a child is a "final result," anything that happens to you whilst you do something flawed. "Who the hell says women should be pressured to have children?" Anti-choicers. Haven't you been paying concentration? Oh, and [citation needed] on your claim about pro-choice folks getting irritated at females who decide upon to move by way of with pregnancies wherein the fetuses have delivery defects or disabilities. Pro-choice is all about alternative: handiest the person in whose physique the being pregnant is taking place must get to make a decision whether or not that pregnancy continues.

That question line is just hurtful and stupid. Pro Choicers don't hate babies! Pro choicers believe that NO ONE has the right to tell a woman what to do with her own body! Where does it stop! If you have the right to tell a woman she MUST give birth, are you going to help her raise the baby? Pay for it? No, you're not. You're going to run off to the next one and tell her the same, and leave babies of poor mothers, raped mothers, druggie mothers and others what to do. But when does it stop? When you open the door for people to make decisions for others, eventually it leads to other things. You're not PRO LIFE, you are PRO BIRTH. You don't give a sh*t about the baby once it's born, as long as it's born! Now who hates babies?

Think about it like this:

Are you married or hope to be married some day? Do you think it will be wonderful to be married to someone you love and you loves you? It will be and it should be.

Now think of the people forced into arranged marriages. Think for a moment how you would feel being forced into a marriage you didn't want with a person you didn't love. Suddenly marriage is a whole lot less happy.

Pregnancy is the same way. When you want it, when you want a child, it's beautiful, wonderful and miraculous. When you don't, it's devastating terror.

This is the difference between you and me: If someone asked my advice on an unplanned, unwed, abnormal pregnancy, I'd probably advise them to abort. But if someone wanted to pass a law making abortion mandatory under certain circumstances, I'd fight that to the bloody end. No one should force a women to give birth, or to abort.

Try caring about the people who are already here, not just potential people.

Well, I actually do hate babies and small children but that's neither here nor there.

Pro-choice is exactly what it sounds like - we don't care if you choose to keep the baby, we just want people to have the option to abort if they need to.

PLEASE, tell me how a 13-year-old in the ghetto giving birth to a child with no means to care for it is a miracle. PLEASE. Enlighten me, because I'm confused as to how a neglected, unwanted child being brought into this world only to die a terrible death due to some illness is a miracle. Seriously.

I don't mind if someone chooses to keep a baby that they know will be disabled but if that baby has some sort of genetic abnormality that will make its life miserable then keeping it is only cruel.

@Fireball - I agree with that to some extent. Constantly getting pregnant simply because abortion is there as a "back-up plan" is purely irresponsible. It should just be available in the most dire situations.

I do not believe any child should be born unwanted some religions teach that any contraceptive use is wong. I have seen women have baby after baby they cannot feed, cloth or send to school.

Should women in poor countries be forced to have a baby to watch it slowly die of starvation?

I am against abortion but when I got married and had a child we had very little money.

so I took the birth control pill. Once we got established and could afford another child we had another son. I felt two children was all we could afford and contiinued taking the birth control pill.

that is just being a responsible person. If it was born with dowms syndrone I would have loved it but perferred a healthy baby. Nothing wrong with that. what is wrong is religion not allowing birth control pills.

There's lots of reasons people might want abortions.

For instance if a woman is pregnant but has absolutely no money or way to support her unborn child, or if a foetus is so deformed that even if it delivered safely it's life is going to one of mostly misery from bullying, and other aspects of whatever it's disability is. Arguably it shouldn't be our choice, but when they're born they can no longer make that choice a lot of the time, whether they want to end their lives or not, maybe it's better for them to never be truly concious than to have a live of pain and sadness?

I heard one preacher call them the Pro deathers. that really is what they are. They always talk about their rights without regarding the right of the baby. The deaths they die are so horrible and when past 20 weeks are capable of feeling that torture. It is just as much the father of these babies fault. Most of them are the ones that put up the money for it. They are paying to have their babies killed so they don't have to face any responsibility and can go on having "fun" without restriction.

It is a shame that so many who really want children have to go to foreign countries to adopt children because there are none here to adopt. They are all DEAD!

"Don't people see how pro-choicers hate babies?"

I don't hate babies. I do hate ignorant dogmatic morons who think they have a right to control other peoples' personal lives and bodies.

Do you have no ability to tell an actual truth, cupcake, or do you just like telling lies because you think you're above common morality?

Pro-choice people trust women to make their own choices, so all that garbage about "most pro-choicers were actually mad at her for not aborting" is an outright lie.

"Who the hell says women should be forced to have kids?" Every anti-choice person like you who says women can't control their own fertility.

Take your lies and peddle them elsewhere.
