I’m pro choice but after the 12 week mark I really find it hard to see someone go through that procedure. For both the woman and the foetus. I had a miscarriage when I was 20 and I didn’t know I was pregnant and it was absolutely traumatic. Even though it was early term I still had to go through a D&C and I was treated abysmally by the nursing staff. (After a strongly worded letter and long drawn out complaint procedure I got a lengthy apology from the staff/hospital involved.)
I watched my son at 12 weeks on an ultrasound swimming and moving about and he was very real to me. I do find late term abortions hard to accept. After 25 weeks the foetus could survive with medical intervention easily. It’s something I have issue with but if the mother can not carry on with that pregnancy then she should not be forced to. I think more should be done to support women who find out they are pregnant and let them access abortion easier. Ireland has a real issue with this. Women were forced to travel to UK for abortions. The abortion pill was handed out (illegally) by some organisations though. Abortion has just been legalised last year but there is still a big push back. Fuck the Catholic Church is all I can say to that.
In regards to disability though. Where do you draw the line? I believe disabled people add to the world just as much as able bodied people. Probably more in fact when taking into account those with autism. I find it really jarring to read what you write about disabled people @TripSitterNZ. On one side you’re advocating for a foetus that can’t survive outside the mother but saying people with disabilities shouldn’t exist and advocating for genetic engineering. Like fucking hell. Pick a moral and stick to it?
Who are you to judge whats a bullshit reason man?If your going to get a abortion for a bullshit reason then you should just get your ovaries cut and never have kids ever. People with such disrespect for life even at its earliest conception imo abortions' should not be performed any later than the 15th week.
The fact some women have such a careless regard to a life they are carrying either shows they never been a mother should never be a mother and should just go get their ovaries cut if they think a fetus deservers no right. Abortion is legalized murder at a certain point.
But seriously, what. the. fuck.
Of all the people here, you're one of the last I'd think crusading these oppressive ideals.
I imagine you might be frazzled by the post im planning on toxic feminity then. (And im a feminist)Wait what? It doesn't surprise me at all, TripSitterNZ requently states opinions that I think would make nazi Germany blush.
Also, I'd hope I'd be up there as someone you'd be among the most surprised to learn is pro life, given I've also gone off on several feminist rants against men and the patriarchy and anti trump anti republican and all sorts of liberal shit.![]()
This entire thing boils down to, if you don't like abortion, don't have one. Why you feel you can tell others what they can and cannot due based upon admittedly controversial topics and not something cut and dry like homicide.
Consciousness. I don't see how someone seemingly intelligent like yourself can't see that the lack of self awareness is a HUGE difference between a 4 year old and a fetus. Its why some users mentioned its more wrong for us to eat meat like veal, or to squish a spider.
And didn't you already mention murder is the wrong word? Seems your opinion changes depending on who you are talking to, no offense
Whether or not it is common depends on the circumstances. It is common for any mom hedgehog to eat her babies if there is a significant disturbance in her environment. It is not common for them to eat their babies when it has been quiet and peaceful.
Hedgehogs should not eat their babies at all. They eat their babies when they are disturbed and fear for the babies’ lives—the nutrients being absorbed into her body is better than the nutrients going to a predator, after all.

But is any time limit then acceptable to you?
Well, say like you had sex a week ago and it turns out you're pregnant, so you're stuck with the baby?What do you mean, what time limit?
