when i was going through a miscarriage i had to go to a women's clinic, and there were a bunch of prolifers outside yelling and handing out little toy embryo babies trying to get me to "stop," when i wasn't even there for an abortion. i don't think prolifers realize that women's clinics aren't just for abortions, women go there for normal checkups, medicine, breast screenings, menstrual issues and more. even if a woman was going there for an abortion, that's her choice to make. but the last f*cking thing a woman who is miscarrying wants to see is a bunch of people calling her a monster and then trying to hand her tiny toy babies. it's so traumatizing. prolifers don't ever consider the lives of the people they're screaming at and trying to control, and it's almost laughable how much they contradict themselves.

On that thought, what's fucked up is criminalizing natural miscarriages and stillborns. Having miscarriages and such are already traumatic. Being put into jail is the cherry on top.

*The hardest period of my life: I had a miscarriage where I would not stop bleeding. I wanted to go the natural route so I opted for the pill. When I went to pick up my prescription from the pharmacy, the pharmacist would not release my medicine because it was against his beliefs. I had to call the hospital to get in touch with my doctor who had just went on vacation. After two hours of crying, being in pain and sheer embarrassment, my medicine was released. I took the pills and continued to bleed for two months. After two months I was scheduled for D&C abortion. Abortions are now banned in my state.

I don't understand how foster care is related? Are unwanted babies put in the foster care system after they are born? I am unaware of such a thing. My understanding is that the foster care system is for children who are in abusive or neglectful homes or are orphaned. And I am also aware that there a many many people who are waiting many years so that the can adopt an unwanted baby. So, I feel lik that is a separate topic. Many children in the foster care system aren't even legally allowed to be adopted yet because their parents haven't officially lost their rights yet.

When non of the prolife agreed on the incest and rape, I wasn't surprised. I've seen how people turn a blind eye on these victims and have no consideration of the trauma the victims have to go through. Okay girl in blue was a victim of rape and she wanted her baby, which she chose, should her baby have survived what trauma would the baby grow up with knowing it's a result of something that should've never happened. This should be a topic discussed with religion pushed aside period, if you're a prolifer because you believe in saving humans then go and adopt some humans that are in the foster care. Just because you take away the option of abortion for woman doesn't mean it isn't going to happen, you just put woman at a higher risk of death from performing backyard abortions. Deaths in woman performing unsafe abortions are taking away human life, where does the line lie when it comes to taking a life.

Also this is another point that I don’t see anyone making but I’m going to put it here for people to see/interact with. TW RAPE and SUICIDE MENTIONED I constantly see people saying “Well what about the baby.” “It’s a life.” But what about the mother’s life or the father’s? I hardly see (not saying people don’t but I’m saying I personally don’t see this a lot) people wanting to provide care for those parents. What about the victims of Rape or etc? They are all “pro-life” when it comes to abortion but what about the people who are suffering? If someone is truly Pro-Life then they need to put as much time and effort into helping people as they do talking about the wrongs of abortion. What about a child who was raped at 13 and they get pregnant? They never wanted a baby and still don’t. Should that child really go through 9 whole months of labor when they didn’t even want it in the first place? According to some people they would say yes. Yet what happens after that child is born? Are they going to help? Probabaly not. They only seem to care about life when it comes to abortion. What about the thousands of people who die from suicide? What about people who have lost their homes and are now on the street? No one seems to care about those people but as soon as someone wants to get an abortion they care about life?

And if a woman dies in childbirth or as a result of pregnancy, who is going to answer to that woman's parents and explain why her life wasn't as important as the child she was carrying, and justify why her parents have to live without their child, whom they were given the choice to bring into the world?

I am confused too, and at the end of the day, it is the woman's choice since it's her health and body at stake but at the same time, if she chooses to have the kid and ignores his choices, i don't believe he should have to pay child support if he did not want the child but if he did want the child, he should get paid a bit of compensation for the emotional trauma that he may have suffered when the abortion happened since fathers often want the baby too and are hurt or scarred when it's aborted.

Allowing life is not violent. Taking life is violent. There is nothing violent about a pregnancy, about the nurturing protection of the innocent unborn child.

As an adopted child- who survived an attempted abortion by overdose- I do not hate my biological mother for trying. For all I know, she could have been a rape victim. Carrying that trauma with you, knowing that a horrible person had put themselves *in you* and created something your never wanted inside you is horrible. Seeing the child (if born) would be proof of that horrible event. Pregnancy is not easy. It hurts. Your body changes. So, especially if you are a rape victim, you’re in pain for the next *year* or so. Although I’m extremely grateful to be alive, I wouldn’t have wanted to make somebody suffer.

Hi Asher, I dont know if you will read this but please, some of the comments you made about the fetus developing were very offensive.

We all were just a clump of cells as you said, but some woman respected you enough to allow you to live, is it really asking too much for other women to at least take that into consideration, pregnancy is not just about someones body, it is also about a new life inside of you, being considerate of other's rights including a fetus is also a form of love and respect. I love how the black girl called it for it is "a baby" at least she is aware that she chose to take the life of a baby away, and I personally believe it is important to aknowledge that.
