Is abortion genocide? I think not. Today while walking across campus there were huge photo’s of abortions can Pro-Life idiots calling it genocide… The thing that angered me the most was the fact that there were men down there wearing pro-life shirts.
Excuse me but when did the male gender grow vagina’s? Because last time I checked women were the only one’s growing fetuses inside THEIR body! How dare anyone male or female think they can possibly tell another human being what to do with her own body.
A man can never know what it is like to be in that situation. Yes when a woman becomes pregnant and has to contemplate abortion many men try to “help” with the choice. But in the end it falls on our shoulders. WE are the ones that have to go to the doctors and we are the ones that have to worry about hurting our bodies so badly that we may not be able to have kids in the future. I don’t believe that men can go through the same physiological struggle that a woman goes through before during and after an abortion.
I am not saying that everyone should get an abortion and I not even saying that I would ever be emotionally strong enough to have one myself. It really pisses me off that some people have the nerve to tell someone else what they can and cannot do with their body. And I really gets me when people preach about how bad and evil abortion is and how it should never be done. But then they can say..but it’s okay if the girl was raped. Well why is it okay then? That would be baby can’t help what its dead beat father did.
For me there is no middle ground about this subject you are either pro-choice or pro-life. I saw a sign today that made me smile, it said “Anti-Choice is Anti-American”, I think I will make that a shirt. It seems so true to me. This is meant to be he land of the free, were we can make our own choices…good or bad. And the idea that some believe this is a choice that shouldn’t be aloud to me seems like they are against the structure of our government. Freedoms me all freedoms not some, not only the one’s that fit the Christian religion; you can’t take away freedoms just because they make you feel uncomfortable.
If you are pro-life that is fine. Be that, but DO NOT think that because you have that belief it is okay to force this idea on others. I respect people for their ideas…to a point. When they start trying to chance my ideas, and my views, just because I believe something different doesn’t mean you have the right to try to chance me.
At this point in my life, if I was pregnant…there is just no way I could have one. My life would be over. I’m still a kid…my parents still pay for school, and other things for me. How can I have a child when I myself am still a child. I wouldn’t be able to finish school in time, and I wouldn’t be able to get the job I have always planned on.
Perhaps some will call it selfish to think of myself if I was indeed ever pregnant. But if I can’t take care of me, there is no way I can take care of another human being.
this sounds poor because i wrote it in the middle of class. but i think you get my point.

i agree with you completely
for one thing...i do believe that men (or women for that that matter) should try to tell someone else what to do with their bodies...the choice that you make effects you...not the other people trying to tell you how to live your life....I think the idea of calling abortion genocide is completely ridiculous....our society has made it so difficult to raise a child these days that sometimes a person is in a position where an abortion is pretty much necessary...although there are those who will always argue that the baby can be put up for adoption afterwards...this doesn't mean that the mother doesn't have to go through the 9 months of bodily changes that come with pregnancy....I'm not saying that I don't see the other side of the story...because I do. It is a very touchy subject matter. However, I've always been pro-choice....it's just the way I think.

Yeah..... I don't see how people want to keep it a "free" country, but then want to tell me what I can or can't do with my body. Last I checked, I wasn't paying anybody a monthly fee for it. I don't remember signing a lease...

atleast..
"pro-choicers" actually say that "pro-life fanatics" still have the right to choose whether or not they have the child or not. What does the pro-life view give us? "DO THIS OUR WAY.. NOW". I think we're pretty fucking curtious towards them, we give them a choice, hahaha. i'm fucking ridiculous. of course we give them a choice.. y'know? I want to go out and start a "side" of my own. What shall it be called? Ah, yes. Pro-slaying. our slogan? "Kill the kid or... well, you have no other fucking choice, do what we say"

Are all pro lifers "idiots"?

my thoughts..without your asking for them haha
I think that they figure that the embryo/fetus either is or atleast soon will be a body and why would YOU have the right to decide that their body should not have the chance to continue to grow. I get that a bit. It's basically a woman taking control of the life inside her.

But no matter what the case is, I really wish that people had better approaches to taking their stances. Look up genocide. Genocide is the systematic eradication of a nationality, race and/or cultural group. This would be the case if only Dutch babies were being aborted...or...well you get it. They hear a word such as genocide and feel that it is a strong enough word to get their point across. It is, however, a very very incorrect word no matter what you think about abortion.

I do not get along very well with people like that.

hmm!
i don't believe that abortion is genocide. however, i am a man, and i do have a pro-life stance with the subject...

now, i'd like to think i'm not an idiot, because i agree with you when you say that people shouldn't be able to tell others what to do with their bodies... but does this include the fetus growing inside the woman? i'm not entirely sure that the baby asked to be aborted.

i think it's selfish to say that your life (not you, the potential mother) is more important than one who hasn't experienced a single second of it, nay, anyone else's life. that's why i don't believe in abortion. but, everyone's entitled to their own opinion.

cheers,
