Abort! |

just finished watching my abortion porn
I'm a glutton for pain if I'm choosing to bring this up, I guess. Insults I can sit pretty well with, but being misunderstood is terrible for me.
One major thing that I feel is being misunderstood is my overall opinion on abortion. Like, pro-life or pro-choice.
I am pro-choice. If for nothing else, because I'm a guy and could not possibly understand the carrying of children. But also for this reason, I have small reservations. It's certainly not enough to override my belief that abortions should be legal (not even close), but I feel like it's enough to make it feel like it's more than a unimportant procedure. Because I can not possible know the feeling, I'm unsure if abortions should be taken lightly.
Anyway, because of that, it's my preference that women show the same amount of responsibility that men should. I support abortion, but I would feel more comfortable if it didn't have to be used at all, which is accomplished fairly easily with contraceptives. Of course, if they fail, abortion should always be an option. I wholly support that; they were being responsible but something went wrong.
But at the next point some people took my own experiences and thought I was applying them to the whole. There's a small group of women I knew in high school who never used contraception nor asked their boyfriends to take any responsibility, then skipped into a clinic a few weeks later knowing full well that abortions would always be there to fix their stupidity. I found this kind of behavior deplorable, and I felt there's probably more people like that out there. That's what I meant when I said I would pick out the ones that were "undeserving."
Now, I feel those people I just mentioned are less deserving of an abortion than a responsible couple who had something go wrong. Should they still get abortions? Yes, and I feel this was lost in the argument last night. The irresponsible ones bother me in some small way since those girls were completely detached from accountability for their actions, but I don't disagree that an abortion would be best (like a child would really grow up healthy in that kind of environment).
Refusing abortions for the "undeserving" was not something I was advocating for everyone. I was saying that I wish I could show those particular women who consistently choose to make poor choices regarding sex that it's... not very smart. I'm not saying an abortion isn't the best available option a lot of the time and I'm not saying that pregnancy should be used to punish stupid girls, especially since I'm a guy and can't possibly understand. But, it seems like everyone can and should respect (or I guess maybe fear?) the procreative process and be responsible.
I hope this helps. I don't pretend to know what's best for women, and I wouldn't refuse abortions for people.
