I Would Get an Abortion if I Got Pregnant...

I am 20 and as far as my career is going, I am at the top of my game. I love my job and career, as stressful as it is. I would never do anything to mess that up. That includes pregnancy.

I Would Get an Abortion if I Got Pregnant...
With my grown up job, I pay my own bills every month. And it shocks me that women do the same that I do on less. I could financially support a child if I needed to but I dont want to. I wouldn't have an abortion because I am not financially able to support the baby. I would "selfishly" choose abortion for this simple, non-politically correct reason, me and only me. I would selfishly choose abortion for the reason that I can continue on the path I have planned. One filled with spontaneous adventures, a career, and marriage. But probably not in that order.

And to be even more non-politically correct, it wouldn't be a hard decision. I would start crying uncontrollably and then once I am able to think and speak coherently, I am calling Planned Parenthood.

I am already on birth control for my migraines and anxiety but it is by no means a heavy duty birth control. If I started having sex, I would take a heavy duty birth control. Along with the heavy duty birth control, I would take the morning after pill and be sure to use a condom. So good luck getting me pregnant. But birth control fails and condoms break. So if I am being honest, yes if I got pregnant, I would choose abortion. It would hardly be a discussion.

Also, I wouldn't sleep with someone who is pro-life. I would only sleep with someone who doesn't want kids either. This is why having similar opinions politics matters to me.

And if there is some law that wants to make me sympathetic to the fetus, two can play at that game. Like that stupid Texas bill that would make the mother of the fetus give the fetus a funeral. Thats cool I can do a funeral. On the one condition that I get to wear the sexiest black dress I can find. And since I have a minor obsession with dark lipstick, I will be wearing dark lipstick as well. I am thinking this look?

Am I evil? Yes. Yes, I am.

  • The part you didn't talk about is your obligation to make sure you keep track of your condition and get it taken care of as soon as possible. You also didn't talk about the medical risks of having an abortion. You talk about it like you are getting your hair cut. Yeah, I don't like my hair so I'm just gonna have a little trimmed off and maybe get some highlights.

    Abortion carries real risks too, it may be an acceptable trade off to you still and that's fine, but to not bring it up as a risk makes light of a serious procedure. About one in 120 first term abortions result in serious consequences ranging from infection or sepsis to damage of the cervix or uterine lining. Results from these issues can go from requiring additional medical treatment to complications in future pregnancies to infertility and death.

    But at least you are thoughtful enough to make real effort to not become pregnant to begin with. If only everyone thought like this abortion wouldn't be nearly the issue it is in our society.

    Much like you mock the Texas law about the funeral, I mock the "my womb is an open door" slut that believes abortion is a liberating experience for all womankind.

    • So I am a slut? I already said I am not sexually active but either way, a persons sex life is none of your fuckin business. Oh honey you couldn't pull off highlights unless you were going to a nineties party. #partylikeits1999 Fuckin obviously I would get an abortion as soon as possible. I dont want that parasite in me longer than necessary. I would rather shoot myself than be pregnant. I think that is a bigger medical risk but that is just me. Wait. Infertility is a "complication" with abortions? GLORIOUS! I dont want kids anyways. I That is why I am going to get my tubes tied ASAP.

    • I never said you were a slut. I said, you were responsible enough to think about the things you needed to be responsible for like birth control and going the extra step to make sure you don't have to have an abortion... as opposed to the people that believe abortion is a wonderful experience and deal with sex like its a nice dinner out that really has little risk and responsibility attached to it. I personally have no issue with what you said. I'm all for abortions within some limit that places a burden on the mother to deal with it early or live with the consequence of her choice. That's what it is, a choice. I would say, legal abortions within the first trimester, that free birth control should be made available to those that can't afford it and that appropriate systems be in place to help the woman determine if she is pregnant and make an appropriate choice, quickly before it becomes a bigger issue. So if you don't want kids, then why not go get yourself spayed, like a cat.

    • Lol. Stop backtracking. What you said is here for everyone to see, don't play dumb. "Much like you mock the Texas law about the funeral, I mock the "my womb is an open door" slut that believes abortion is a liberating experience for all womankind" Maybe you din't mean for that to be directed to me, but it is. I dont judge women who get abortions and dont dwell on their reason why, so it is directed to me. If only it was that easy. There is no doctor that will tie my tubes at 20. If you did a hint of research, you would know that. A persons sex life is none of your business, judgmental Janice. Most abortions do take place very early. Again, Janice research. The only abortions that happen late are mostly to save the mothers life.

  • Makes sense. There's no point in going through the struggles of being pregnant the pain of childbirth for a child you don't actually want. You're using protection, you're being responsible. It that fails, you've got to go for an abortion, it's the only logical option.

    I've never understood the whole 'pro life' thing. I think it's a pile of bullshit. Abortion isn't killing a grown baby. It's killing a fetus, that fetus is not a developed human being, that fetus can not survive on its own that fetus has no self awareness whatsoever.

    I could just as easily go back to beyond a fetus and tell a couple that they better have sex tonight and not use protection otherwise they could stop a beautiful child being born in the future. How dare broski over there jackoff into a tissue when those sperm cells could combine with egg cells to create a beautiful life.

  • Just so you're aware, the "morning after pill" is just a high dose of birth control, but if you're already on birth control, not only don't you need it, but you're going to shock your body very badly (the morning after pill is already very hard on your body and is only for EMERGENCY use, and should be taken as rarely as possible) and you could cause serious, even potentially fatal health issues.

    So, again, if you're on birth control already, do NOT take Plan B or the like - it's very unhealthy and bad for you, and completely unnecessary.

  • If you are a big girl, who has a big girl job, and who can pay off your big girl bills, you can afford the appropriate birth control.

    This can include the pill or other hormone contraceptive. And condoms. And abstinence when you are ovulating (i. e., pee on an ovulation stick, and if it is positive, wait a few days).

    There's no excuse for people to become pregnant "accidentally", since you know the factors and timing that lead to pregnancy. The only excluding factor is rape/abuse leading to pregnancy, or in the case of children. But hey... you're a big girl right?

  • 1. "Making abortion illegal doesn't stop abortion" is similar to "Making murdering illegal doesn't stop murdering".

    2. Do a human have the authority to decide who has the right to live and who hasn't?

    3. Both death penalty and abortion are a death sentence where some people takes the authority to decide who's worthy to live and who isn't. But the main difference is that in abortion it's always innocent people who dies because of someone's choice, but when it comes to death penalty it's not always the case they're truly innocent.

    4. What about adoption or foster care?

    5. Please watch this video on YouTube and you would see how abortion works:
    "2nd Trimester Abortion Procedure Dr. Anthony Levatino - Former Abortionist Turns Pro-Life"

    • Well yes because if I want an abortion, I will get one. Thats why we have the death penalty. Plus republicans seem to think that Muslims or Syrian refugees lives aren't important. I am not going through labor and the adoption care system is broken. Sexual, physical, and emotional assault is all very common for foster kids. Hahahaha why would I wait until the second tremester for an abortion? I wouldn't want that stupid parasite in my uterus longer than it has to be. I am not watching it because I plan to get an abortion as soon as I find I am pregnant. Plus, most abortions happen very early. The only late abortions happen because the mothers life needs to be saved.

    • "Republicans don't seem to think that Muslims or syrian refugees lives aren't important" and muslims don't seem to think the lives of people who are secular or have western values aren't important either. What is your point?

    • @BraveHeart97 practice what you preach is my point. The bible always talks about how important loving your enemy is, so maybe you should actually follow the bible and not be a hypocritie?

  • The morning after pill is not a birth control method to be taken regularly. Actually, you shouldn't even take one more than once every 90 days. It's a huge discharge of hormons that are bad for your health and it should be only taken as a last resource, if the condom broke and the birth control pill is not in effect (because you forgot to take it or because of medication).

    • First I would put myself on strong birth control. I am hoping to get my tubes tied ASAP.

  • I just (unless in cases of rape, incest, or the mother will die) cannot understand how anyone could ever proudly proclaim to be okay with baby killing. You don't appreciate the gift you have. There are so many people like me who would do absolutely anything for that experience & can't.

    When did we become a place where we encourage irresponsibility as opposed to if you have sex, you go into it knowing it could result in a child. It was your CHOICE to do it anyway. So take responsibility & deal with the consequences of your choice. Give it up so someone like me can raise him/her & (s) he can then decide their lives.

    They have the right to live especially since it would be your irresponsibility that would get them here (unless you're under the exceptions above, which I would truly be understanding of despite disagreeing with the method)

    I hope you yourself never get pregnant

  • I have to say I agree with most of what has been said and I know my female friends agree. I am not sexually active right now because there are more important things in my life than a relationship or risking pregnancy. If I were to get pregnant right now it would ruin my life if I didn't get an abortion, so I would get one. I am not bringing an unwanted child into the world, nor am I going to make my career suffer.

    • And I have to say... There really should be far more people out there who think the way you do. Let's be honest, that is the truth.

    • @YouAreAbysmal In an ideal world, people would only get pregnant when it was perfect timing but it's just not that easy. It's not an easy decision but I'd hope more people agreed with me because, let's be honest, it's the smarter decision then destroying your future and that of your child and their other parent when alternative options were available. Seems illogical not to do it. I find it very telling and disturbing that so many guys disagree - if they were the one carrying the child I can assure you they wouldn't feel that way.

    • @snowshy Yes, my thoughts exactly. And this isn't even some radical "feminist" notion--it's just one that makes the most common sense. It's the most reasonable and practical thing to do--that is, if and when your brains aren't entirely washed out by religion or similar fundamentalist beliefs. I completely agree with you. And the fact that so many males have such a negative stance towards this is indeed very telling. Just goes to show that most can only relate to their own experiences. It's not their own body and life to worry about, so of course it's easiest of all for a lot of men simply to dictate their beliefs and opinions without fully understanding or even giving any thought to how the female may be affected by such an issue.

  • If you don't want to have a baby, there are guaranteed methods that do not include murder. I hope you never get the opportunity to prove how sincere you are about your selfishness.

  • So many people who are pro-choice are too apologetic about being pro-choice. I applaud your unapologetic view on abortion, and I fully support your right to make that choice. Not all abortions need to be justified by some horrible experience. Not wanting to be pregnant or have a child is just as valid of a reason.

    • Lets kill all the children ! Im very proud. what a bitch!

  • You literally only made this to try and make people hate you and think you're a bitch. You literally said nothing of meaning or anything, this is actually just pathetic

  • Or you can just be responsible, have sex safe, or wait until you're ready/married to have a child so you wouldn't even have to get one? And you're not evil but it is a evil decision by murdering you're own flesh and blood that did not ask to be created in the first. It doesn't make sense that women are still getting accidentally pregnant in 2017 or at all, we learned sex education in school a long time ago: it's the woman who gets pregnant. Don't want to get or be pregnant? Use protection or just be abstinence since that is 100% effective in keeping a woman pregnant free. But people don't want to use common sense anymore, people put pleasure before responsibility these days at that's what abortion is. Irresponsible women getting irresponsibly pregnant and then turn around and say "it's not my fault or duty to care of a child I made, so I'm just going kill it". It doesn't make sense how a lot people accept this murder but don't accept other murders, a human being is a human being regardless if they are in or outside the body.

    • I said in the my take that if I started having sex, I would put myself on an even stronger birth control, use condoms, and possibly morning after pill. How many times have I explained this even though it is written in the my take? This is at least the fifth time. I am going to go slam my head against something and maybe than I can see these peoples logic.

    • Yes I get that, which is why I'm saying if your're already doing those things then you won't have to resort to abortion. But some how if you still end up getting knocked up, then that's the result of just having sex period.

  • Ok but with modern contraception you'd need to be seriously retarded to get pregnant. I have the contraceptive implant in my arm and even if I didn't the pill is as little as $30 A month.

    • I said in the my take that if I started having sex, I would put myself on an even stronger birth control, use condoms, and possibly morning after pill. How many times have I explained this even though it is written in the my take? This is at least the sixth time. I am going to go slam my head against something and maybe than I can see these peoples logic. I am just being realistic and saying I would have an abortion, if all the birth control fails. Which is unlikely, but birth control does fail and condoms do break.

    • Isn't the morning after pill like giving yourself a whole bunch of hormones? You really shouldn't take pharmaceutical drugs you dont need.

    • As much as I would like to get my tubes tied, thats not really possible at my age. I would take the morning after pill, if I was particularly worried and it has been more than 90 days since I took the last one.

  • No such thing as a "safe" abortion. All abortions are risky, period. And all of them increase the mother's chance for developing ovarian and breast cancer. In fact, abortion increases risk of breast cancer even more than miscarriage does, which it is most similar to.

    You are a sociopath with no real empathy. Life to you is all about you. Except, that nagging conscience that you have to keep stabbing and suppressing. Otherwise, if a building were burning and you had the chance to save a child, you'd worry about what color lipstick you wanna wear to the next outing with friends, and laugh as the flames licked up the child. And when the child's mother arrives too late on the scene, and blames you for knowingly doing nothing, you deck her and walk away, because you are part of the swamp that Trump imagines he can drain.

    But congratulations: you're now on most men's do-not-date list. A fine warning: that's almost the female equivalent of the sex offender registry list. So... have fun with that.

  • All the more reason why I strongly advise and push for sterilization. If only more people just get sterilized then all the more better and thus there would be substantially fewer abortions in the entire world altogether. Either get a vasectomy or get tubes tied. Although they come with side effects, and I heard new technologies like the Vasalgel would make things easier. Hopefully they make better progress so people don't have to buy pills over and over again. Rather it just be a one time thing and over a long period of time it's effects are permanent and irreversible. The odds of failure is reduced substantially over time, and can't fail to prevent an unplanned for or "accidental" pregnancy compared to a broken or faulty condom or faulty birth control pill or missing a dosage.

  • I with you girl. I have too many prospects and things to look forward to at this age to ruin it with motherhood.

  • Fine with me. I don't want to have babies with you either.
