      I was almost aborted. My life has had a lot of suffering in it. Abuse and trauma.
      Some days I wish Mom had just aborted me.
      It's not like I would*miss* my life that I never had.

      In the US, homicide is the leading cause of death among pregnant women,
      and 1 in 6 pregnant women are abused by a partner. Pregnant survivors of
      abuse are at a 37% higher risk of developing obstetric complications.
      Too often, violence and pregnancy go hand in hand - unplanned pregnancies
      increase the risk for violence, and violence increases the risk for unplanned

    In 1967, my grandmother left her family's farm and moved to the big city for her first real job, as a secretary in an office. Shortly after, she had a few drinks at a holiday party, and impulsively slept with her boss, a married older man who was coming onto her. She became pregnant after just that one time. He told her to have an abortion; she said no, and asked him for help raising the baby. He refused and his wife sent her nasty letters and told her to have an abortion. She said no, and said she would try to figure something else out. As time went on, she was treated terribly at work and then was fired. Her old boss, the father of the baby, offered her money for the abortion and to pay for the apartment she was being evicted from, and to let her come back to work. She still said that she did not want to get an abortion, maybe she could put the baby up for adoption. The man continued to pressure her to get an abortion (she was about 6 months along now), and when she continued to refuse and say she wanted to find another way, he killed himself. She was distraught- She called her father (my great-grandfather; an older, conservative, poor Christian farmer) and she said "Just tell me what to do, I've made too many mistakes. Tell me what is the right choice and I will do it." He said, without pause, "You come home now. You come home and we'll raise that baby as a family." A few months later, my mother was born. Then when my mother grew up, she gave birth to my sister and me. Then, my sister had two little girls and I had a little girl. I look at my child and think about how that "choice" my grandmother made wouldn't have just killed my mother, it would have led to my sister and I not being here, and our 3 daughters not being here. It wasn't just about 1 little girl, it was about 6 little girls. Abortion extinguishes an entire family tree.

      ​@@albaraka7519 so the solution you propose to women's bodies being used is to kill what is "using" them with no due process? Not to mention, the fetus isn't even consciously trying to use a woman's body, and cannot consent to it at all. In the overwhelming majority of abortion cases, the woman consciously chose to run risk of creating a child who they knew would use their bodies.

Maybe you believe we all snuck the child in there while she was asleep. We all know you never asked your mom for consent to use her body so that's hypocritical for you to even say.

A fetus can't ask permission on anything because it isn't sentient yet. "We all know you never asked your mom for consent to use her body so that's hypocritical for you to even say." Not even in the slightest. But you are a hypocrite for saying nobody else determines your worth except for you when you do the exact opposite to women as you decide their worth by making them give birth without their consent.

      @albaraka7519 Thank you. Preborn humans and minors can not give consent. As for sentience, it's irrelevant and not a prerequisite for life. You hit two points we make nicely. If you think I decide my worth as a woman by my ability to end the life of my offspring then I'm glad you think so little of us women. Abortion is birth (of dead offspring), so you are a hypocrite saying anyone else here "forces birth" when your whole point is based on. Tumbling tower.

    My cousin Bella (name changed for privacy) was diagnosed in utero with agenesis of the corpus callosum after her mother contracted COVID-19 while pregnant. There was a lot of talk about quality of life and since her family didn’t live in a state with strong enough Pro-Life protection, they were pressured to abort. They were told Bella could be struggling to breathe and even some family members said it would be “humane” to kill her. One relative (not either of her parents) even banned me from saying anything to them because he knew I would try to reassure them and plead for her life.
    Fast forward to now and Bella is a happy toddler. When she was born she was on oxygen for a little while, but soon came home from the hospital and did fantastic. The same people who said those horrible things now play with her and bring her presents. She’s breathing with no issues and is thriving. My world is so much better with my precious little cousin in it and I’m so glad her parents chose life despite the pressure.

    My father-in-law recently met his birth mother. She wanted to try being a single mother despite his conception being non consensual. Her parents specifically her father really encouraged the adoption route.
    It was so painfully scaring between the drugs the doctors gave her and not allowing her to hold her baby she never told anyone else about his birth.
    Since reconnecting both my father-in-law and his mother have found healing.
    My very echo chambered to wokeness sister-in-law made some ignorant and inappropriate comments about how if she was conceived the way he was she would want to be aborted. And how she would be okay if he (her dad) HAD been aborted.
    Again his mother WANTED to try to be a single mother.

    • @ayishas4385
      @ayishas4385 4 месяца назад +1

      How is it the baby's fault that you were raped, or that her father was a rapist? I know three little boys whose father tortured and murdered; as hard as that is for the boys to live with, nobody holds them responsible for their father's heinous crime. Your baby is no less human than they are, just smaller. Even children created by IVF and raised in someone else's womb are often still eager to meet their biological parents, to see family traits, to learn where they came from. Your baby is a biologically a complete and separate human being from the moment of fertilisation; science and religion agree on this point. And frankly, anyone who's calling for the death of babies from rape because of their father's sins are actually acknowledging this fact, because if conception didn't create a human being who was the biological child of the rapist, then why would it even matter who the father was, or whether you wanted to "have a kid with" him or not?
      The rape is the crime, not the pregnancy. The rapist is the criminal, not the baby. Getting rid of the baby conceived from rape doesn't undo the rape, it just adds a hard anniversary for the mother: now, on top of remembering that you were raped, every year you remember that you took a child's life. Most women care deeply, and feel a lot of regret and remorse even if society is loudly telling them how wonderful their "choice" was. And it's not just the yearly anniversary of the abortion you'll have to deal with: it's when you see other people the age of your child, hitting the milestones your child should be hitting, and knowing that you prevented her (and you! or an adoptive family!) from experiencing those things.
      The worst thing that you can do for the mental health of a woman who has been raped is to involve her in ANOTHER act of violence. The violence doesn't fix one single bit of the rape, it only adds damage to the woman. You turn her from being a victim into the perpetrator of death on the rapist's child -- who is also HER child! If rape is so awful that someone deserves to die because of it, then we can certainly talk about the death penalty for the rapist. (Oddly enough, the people who are most eager to kill the innocent child of rape are also the most against the death penalty for the guilty rapist).
      Being pregnant is not a punishment. It has its hard things, physically, but it's only 9 months of your life, at most. That's a very small price to pay to save and cherish an innocent human life! No woman should be raped, but it happens. If you get pregnant by rape, you are biologically a mother now, whether you wanted to be one or not; you can't undo that, even if you kill the baby. People who want to dehumanise the baby try to make pregnancy sound like a disease or a parasitical alien invasion in your womb, but your body was specially designed to handle pregnancy; that was the whole point of your body changing at puberty, of the monthly cycle that your body routinely goes through for ~30+ years of your life. Everything about your body adjusts to carry that child, so to starve that child or tear that child out, you have to attack your own body and work against your own body, which is desperately trying to protect your baby. There's just nothing good for you, let alone for your baby, about trying to kill her.
      Society needs to do better about supporting women who've been raped, and getting justice for them against the perpetrators. It is NOT supportive to involve a woman in the perpetration of further violence as if that will somehow "fix" things.

      The same pro-abortion arguments people use to justify intrauterine murder can also be made for women with born children.
      "They might regret drowning their 1 year old, they may not, but they should be allowed to choose whether or not to embrace motherhood!"
      Notice how the argument doesn't sound as good when we're talking about children who are born? All you have to do is recognize that children in the womb are exactly the same as born children and you'll be against abortion.
