Found on Reddit: I'm not pro-murdering babies.
I'm pro-Becky who found out at her 20 week anatomy scan that the infant she had been so excited to bring into this world had developed without life sustaining organs.
I'm pro-Susan who was sexually assaulted on her way home from work, only to come to the horrific realization that her assailant planted his seed in her when she got a positive pregnancy test result a month later.
I'm pro-Theresa who hemorrhaged due to a placental abruption, causing her parents, spouse, and children to have to make the impossible decision on whether to save her or her unborn child.
I'm pro-little Cathy who had her innocence ripped away from her by someone she should have been able to trust and her 11 year old body isn't mature enough to bear the consequence of that betrayal.
I'm pro-Melissa who's working two jobs just to make ends meet and has to choose between bringing another child into poverty or feeding the children she already has because her spouse walked out on her.
I'm pro-Brittany who realizes that she is in no way financially, emotionally, or physically able to raise a child.
I'm pro-Emily who went through IVF, ending up with SIX viable implanted eggs requiring selective reduction in order to ensure the safety of her and a SAFE amount of fetuses.
I'm pro-Christina who doesn't want to be a mother, but birth control methods sometimes fail.
I'm pro-Jessica who is FINALLY getting the strength to get away from her physically abusive spouse only to find out that she is carrying the monster's child.
I'm pro-Vanessa who went into her confirmation appointment after YEARS of trying to conceive only to hear silence where there should be a heartbeat.
I'm pro-Lindsay who lost her virginity in her sophomore year with a broken condom and now has to choose whether to be a teenage mom or just a teenager.
I'm pro-Courtney who just found out she's already 6 weeks along, but the egg never made it out of her fallopian tube so either she terminates the pregnancy or risks dying from internal bleeding. You can argue and say that I'm pro-choice all you want, but the truth is:
I'm pro-life. Their lives. Women's lives.
You don't get to pick and choose which scenarios should be accepted.
Women's rights are meant to protect ALL women, regardless of their situation!
It was never about the babies.
It was never about the babies.
If it were about the babies, we'd have affordable, accessible maternal healthcare to ensure a safe pregnancy.
If it were about the babies, we'd have an extensive adoption system full of loving families lining up to care for them once they're born.
If it were about the babies, we'd have affordable childcare, pediatric care, and more flexible work schedules to allow parents to care for their children.
If it were about the babies, we'd have well funded sex education and freely accessible contraception to reduce unwanted pregnancy from occurring.
If it were about the babies, we'd focus our policies on ensuring we can clothe, shelter, and nourish every child born in this country.
But it isn't about the babies.
It was never about the babies.
It's about control and punishment of women.
They want to force us to experience childbirth as a consequence rather than a miracle.
They want us to bring children into the world that are unwanted and unaffordable, then tell us we shouldn't have had children we couldn't support.
They want us to bring children into the world who are products of trauma and abuse, then wonder aloud why children today act out.
They want to burden the poor and disenfranchised and then wonder why people turn to crime out of desperation.
They want to force the common woman to suffer the "consequences" of her sexual freedom while ensuring their mistresses never suffer from theirs.
It's not about the babies.
It was never about the babies.
It's about control.
It's about power.
They're not "Pro-Life," they're anti-woman.
