I’m pro-choice but I think we all have to understand that abortions aren’t inherently positive in any situation.

i disagree i think it’s entirely individual based. there are women even i know in person who are incredibly grateful for having the access to one and saved them from a lifetime of misery

The mental and emotional impact is significant, especially for SA survivors and pregnant women who are forced to choose between an abortion or health issues/death as the result of a problematic pregnancy.

while it is for some i just don’t think it’s an emotional experience for every woman. for some of them it’s just basic healthcare that needed to be done

and this is where i struggle abortion should 100% be an option for women - but when people don’t get emotional at ALL i find that kind of sickening whether or not you want to believe it, that IS a human life and you ARE killing it. you should have every right to do so, but it’s the people who get six abortions in a year or feel nothing at all when they get it done who i find disgusting

that last sentence is definitely some fox news propaganda bc who TF is getting 6 abortions a year😭 that’s like thousands on top of thousands of dollars and cannot be healthy. there will always be feelings of guilt of grieve when getting an abortion, however it shouldn’t have to overshadow the positive feeling of gaining your body back if it was an unwanted pregnancy. women are taught to feel unbearable shame but it doesn’t have to be that way. her life and autonomy is always more important

oh of course it is and i said that they should stay an option - im sure there are positive feelings im just saying that for people who feel NOTHING negative, i dont understand those people. i wish it was fox news propaganda, sadly thats just something an ex friend of mine did in real life.

it’s an unwanted pregnancy. unwanted. it was not wanted. human life or not women shouldn’t feel guilted into… feeling guilty? i guess? for getting rid of something they don’t want

i think it’s impossible to feel “nothing” after such an invasive procedure😭 and of course we shouldn’t be encouraging abortions for the hell of it. but it’s also alright to just accept it as the person who got the abortion and proceed with life as normal without feeling like they had “taken a life”

i would never guilt a woman into feeling that EVER, these are thoughts that have only been in my head i suppose your right, some people think of it as getting rid of something they don’t want - i just personally would struggle deeply with it. in my head it’s almost like someone killing a dog because they just don’t want it anymore

no you’d just call them disgusting and act like there’s something wrong with them. if you would personally feel that way after an abortion, that’s completely understandable. but don’t act like other women are disgusting for thinking differently about THEIR bodies

i would NEVER say those things to someone’s face, EVER. i would support them to the end of the world and i wouldn’t dare treat them different over a decision they’ve made for their own bodies you’re painting me out to be such an evil person when all i said was that i didn’t understand the people who get abortions willy nilly and the people who have no negative emotional reaction whatsoever. yes i may THINK their way of believing is disgusting but i would NEVER treat them differently

oh yeah that’s definitely valid to feel that way if you were to ever need one, but i’m sure you’d ultimately forgive yourself and realize you made the best decision for yourself and your current circumstances (not wishing an unwanted pregnancy upon you tho i swear😭)

the way you’re coming at this discussion actually feels incredible unfair and unnecessary filled with accusation. i actually lean pretty far left and am very much so pro choice, i would never call someone disgusting nor treat them differently due to how they decide to solve their own situation. these thoughts have never left my head and im fairly certain i made it clear that im not some sort of bitch who goes around making women feel horrible about their decisions

you’re kinda an asshole this is an anonymous app, the poster posted about a topic that was controversial- so for literally the first time in my entire life i anonymously posted my thoughts on it i would never say it to someone i know, i would never treat anyone poorly, no one knows how i think irl because i would never let those thoughts hurt the people around me. an anonymous posting app IS kinda a personal diary, i would love to have an actual discussion with you to hear your actual take.

so you’ve had 6 abortions in a year and felt nothing abt it? i don’t think you read what i wrote dude. i don’t think women getting abortions it’s disgusting. i think it’s completely necessary, understandable, and that they have the right to do so - hell i would even get one if i needed to. i am saying the people who get MULTIPLE A YEAR just because they refuse to be careful or responsible have a disgusting mindset. and i DID SAY i found THAT BELIEF disgusting, not them as a human being.

i did not call you disgusting. re read my original comment, this argument is ridiculous. i’m sorry i’ve offended you, that truly wasn’t my intention. but i don’t appreciate how you immediately came at me rudely without even acknowledging what i was saying in my post. unless you’ve had 6 abortions this year and felt nothing about them - you’re not who i was talking about. it is a VERY small demographic of people i was referring to

if that’s genuinely what you meant that’s not what you said. you said when people don’t get emotional at all it’s sickening, and then you went on to say it again. you didn’t say six abortions AND feeling nothing, they were separate. don’t get mad at me bc i read your post how you wrote it

they were not separate comments they were separate paragraphs. you are reaching for straws. i apologize if it didnt come across how i wanted it to, but either way i feel like you could definitely find a better way to start a discussion with someone.

alright i’m done with this, i tried. i will never treat anyone differently or poorly period. i believe that if you feel absolutely nothing negative, and you only feel positive emotions after a procedure such as that one - it’s a sick mindset to have. abortions are needed and a good thing to have as an option unless you’re getting 6 a year. learn how to discuss and ask questions about a comment without being a jerk. i hope you have a nice night

do you genuinely believe there’s a difference in that? if someone said it’s a sick mindset to think abortion is okay in any circumstance, what does that say about the people who are pro-choice? is there a difference between being sick or just believing in something sick? what would a ‘sick’ person be then, if it’s not based off of your beliefs?
