Women's Right to Choose

Counting abortion as a woman’s right to choose offends against the moral principle which prescribes the sanctity of human life. I tolerate abortion as a necessary evil, the same way I tolerate the deaths of soldiers in war as a necessary evil. However, I do not in any way acknowledge abortion as a woman’s right. A woman does indeed have the right to do with her own body as she chooses, but she has no rights over the life of another human being, even when that life is growing inside her. It revolts me that anyone can speak of terminating the life of an unborn human being as a right without any other reservations about the wrongness of claiming killing as a right – that would trouble the mind of someone with a conscience. Do these people think they can play the role of some type of God? That they can claim the power of life and death over another living human as a right?

Abortion is not a right, it is a wrong. It is a crime against the unborn that bloodies all our hands because we all consent to it even though we know that it could so easily be avoided. It is a morally indefensible practice which is just as cruel, barbaric, and unnecessary as circumcision. There is no medical need for any healthy person with normal genitalia to be circumcised and there is no medical need for any healthy pregnancy to be terminated. If you know you don’t want a child – then simply don’t get pregnant. Abortion is wrong, but we do it because not doing it might create a whole new set of problems – that is what abortion is, it is not a right. The only right a woman has in this context is the right not to get pregnant. Once you become pregnant and decide you want an abortion, your abortion should only be granted at the discretion of society at large, not as an automatic right to an individual who has proven themselves to be incapable of acting responsibly. Society stands as the protector of the rights of the unborn child. It is the duty of every decent man and woman alive to ensure that human life is treated with the utmost respect, no matter what stage of development that life is at. That respect should start with decent people demanding an end to rhetoric that speaks of abortion as a right. They must remind people that abortion is not a right – it is an evil we permit for the convenience of those who recklessly create life only to destroy it. We must not allow mad women to redefine human life as non-human so they can justify the routine destruction of millions of human embryos and foetuses. To do anything less will take us somewhere none of us want to go.

The proper way is to tell people that, when destroying an unborn life, they are committing an abhorrent act, which we as a society condemn in the strongest terms. We must argue for the end of the misuse of language and semantics which defines abortion as a right and argue against the abuse of abortion, which is justified on the ground that it is a woman’s right. We have the right to express our disgust at the casual disregard for human life that has brought us to the point where we have abortion on demand and abortion as a contraceptive of first resort. We should not allow ourselves to be emotionally blackmailed into silence on this issue by wildly exaggerated claims that abortion is a traumatic experience for abortionists. If abortion is so traumatic, then why do the number of abortions performed increase every year? And why do the numbers of women having multiple abortions increase every year? It can’t be as traumatic as they claim. What kinds of fools want to put themselves through the same awful trauma multiple times? Furthermore, when does the aborter become away that she doesn’t want to get pregnant? Do you suddenly decide you don’t want to become pregnant upon discovering that you are pregnant? No, you don’t. Women know before pregnancy whether or not they want to become pregnant. They also know beforehand whether or not they have the resources to provide for a child – which means the onus is on women to take every step to avoid putting themselves through this so-called traumatic experience. However it isn’t really traumatic -- for the woman anyway. The only party suffering trauma is the person growing inside the woman, which is either poisoned to death or dismembered and sucked out of the womb alive -- and to compound the insult, either thrown out in the trash or used as raw material for in laboratories.

If you know you don’t want to have a child at any given point in your life, it is your responsibility to not get pregnant. There are over a dozen very reliable contraceptive methods that a woman may resort to – the most reliable among them being abstinence. But no, they want to fuck and then hide their fuck ups behind the claim that abortion is a traumatic experience – as if that somehow washes away the callous recklessness that created a life and the crime of destroying that same life. I’m not buying it. Abortion is no traumatic experience for the woman. Many past sexual partners of mine have had multiple abortions. At worst, some of them have described their abortions to me as unpleasant experiences which must be endured for the ulterior goal of avoiding the responsibility of raising the child. Once it is over, they simply forget about it and move on with their lives. That’s right – women who get abortions are the ultimate deadbeats; deadbeats who avoid their responsibility simply by eliminating it. And yet, these women are the same dogs who are the loudest critics of deadbeat fathers. These women don’t deserve sympathy, understanding or counselling to get them through this so-called traumatic experience anymore than men deserve the same for abandoning their families. They deserve shame and condemnation to punish them for their recklessness and to deter the other loosed-moral sluts who would treat abortion as nothing more than birth control.

For those of you who didn’t exactly major in physiology, an embryo or a fetus is a living organism with human DNA which in the overwhelming majority of cases will grow into a fully-formed human just like yourself. Let’s not forget that is what we all were before we were born. If we were to force women to terminate wanted pregnancies, it would be called genocide. However, when a slovenly whore wants to abort her unborn child we call it “my body, my choice”.

Now some hypocrisies and double standards, we have to live with because we haven’t found a way to resolve them intellectually or philosophically. However, this is one is a hypocrisy too far. If it’s wrong to harm an unborn child when the pregnancy is desired, then it’s wrong to harm it when it is not desired. You can’t have it both ways and expect decent people to join you on the “my body, my choice” parade.

Now to those women who do not want to accept sole and full responsibility for the existence of the barbaric and medieval practice known as abortion – too bad. You and you alone are to blame for it. Deadbeat women are the only reason abortion clinics are able to exist at all. Abortion clinics are no different from any other business in the principle of being a business. They provide a service for a fee. There are women who want abortions and clinics who will provide them. It’s elementary supply and demand. For those of you women who still refuse to accept the fault, let me explain further. You’re not going to pull the “I didn’t make myself pregnant” card. According to these women, it’s “my body, my choice”, or in other words, it’s their right to choose whether they keep or dispose of a pregnancy. But abortion is men’s fault because men have sex with women and men get women pregnant.

Now how dumb is that? How dumb would that argument sound coming from a deadbeat dad? Well, let’s see: “I’m not the one who had the baby, so how come I’m the deadbeat? The mom must be a deadbeat too because I didn’t make this baby by myself.” Now why doesn’t that argument work? Because men are not labelled deadbeats for having sex or fathering children. Men are labelled deadbeats because of their failure to support their children – a choice men make on their own, independently of the child’s mother. And the same goes for deadbeat women who get abortions. Pro-Abortionists or “pro-choice” women are not being attacked for having sex or getting pregnant. They’re being attacked for avoiding their responsibility by destroying it – a choice they make on their own.

Now, isn’t it interesting that deadbeat fathers don’t go around screaming “My money, my choice”? Men don’t go around bellowing that it’s their right not to take responsibility for children they create. Yet, we tolerate this nonsense from women. Men are jailed for not paying child support while women have absolutely zero legal ramifications following an abortion. And we say we live in a “civilized” society.

We don’t blame women for creating deadbeat dads, so we’re not going to blame men for abortion. The decision to get an abortion is made by a woman and by a woman alone – so no man can be blamed even partially for it. Male input is not required for an abortion. On the contrary, any attempt by a man to influence a woman to keep or abort a child against her wishes would be regarded as some kind of abuse towards women. So that one’s not going to fly. The woman is the one asking society to remedy a situation she finds herself in, not the man. The man’s point of view is irrelevant to the staff of the clinics where abortions are performed – which leaves us looking only at women.

Now, the smart women who accept that the above argument is irrefutable, will then cling on to the very last straw-man argument that they have heard from others. That being, “Abortion isn’t murder, it’s not a human.” This argument is so childish, I don’t even know where to begin.

The dictionary definition of murder follows:

1. To kill another human unlawfully.
2. To kill brutally or inhumanly

Since the fetuses are innocent and haven’t broken any laws, it’s pretty unlawful to kill them. And, I’d really like anyone to show me an abortion procedure that is humane.

The legal definition of murder follows:

“The person who causes the death of a human being, means to cause his death, or means to cause him bodily harm that he knows is likely to cause his death.

Murder is the unlawful killing, by any person of sound memory and discretion, of any person, with malice aforethought either express or implied by law.”

The law specifically states that murder is the intentional killing of a human being or a fetus with malice aforethought. That is exactly what an abortion is. Abortion fits the description of first degree murder.

Recently, a man in California kicked his girlfriend in the stomach with the intent of causing her to miscarry the fetus. Previously, there was no "or a fetus" clause in the California Criminal Penal Code, but was added after a landmark case in which the man only faced battery charges after he kicked his pregnant girlfriend with the intention of causing a miscarriage, but the girlfriend wanted to keep the baby.

So what it boils down to here is whether or not the act of ending a person’s life is murder hinges upon the woman’s decision. If she chooses to abort, it’s not murder it’s her choice. If she doesn’t want an abortion, but gets one anyway, it’s called murder.

That is a complete refutation of the “it’s not a person” argument.

And lastly, even in the rare case of a deadbeat woman carrying her pregnancy to term, she can still give up her child for adoption after the child is born, cutting off all legal and financial responsibilities to that child without the man’s consent. On the contrary, a man can not do the same without a woman’s consent.

Now, I’ve fought very dirty in this article and I make no apologies for that because we’re up against people for whom the rules of logic, ethics, reason, fair play, and the simple doctrine of “judge not lest ye not be judged” mean nothing. I’ve judged them by the same standards that they expect others to meet – and they fail miserably to come within even limping distance of it. I’ve had enough of the never-ending man-bashing from these disgusting slags who are far from the virtue they make themselves out to be. Every fucking day it’s “men are violent, men are abusive, men keep women down, male-dominated society” -- it goes on and on. Yet the whores pointing the finger are every bit as corrupt as those they dare to judge. I’m not going to let some stinking whore label me negatively. Not as long as I have the brains, the knowledge, and the unbending will to tell them about their putrid selves. So this article will hit them like flying debris in the hurricane of man-bashing that they worked up.

  • I think abortion is okay if the woman:

    - has been raped

    - very young, and doesn't understand the consquences of her actions

    - if it was accidental despite effort made with contraception.

    I think that you are wrong saying that a fetus is a separate human life; a fetus isn't even a fetus until 2 weeks into the pregnancy, until then, it's just a bunch of stem cells. You can't argue with the fact, that a fetus would not exist without a woman, there it is NOT a life form on its own right.

  • abortion should, under the legal time limit, be legal. the fetus isn't a human being yet, it cannot feel pain and so it won't be in any distress and isn't concious so won't know what is happening. obviously I agree that contraception is better than abortion, but it's not so clear cut as you make it out to be. I would argue that it is more "evil" to bring a child into this world if it's going to be unloved, unwanted or uncared for than to end its life before it has really ever begun.

  • In closing though, Thank you for this article. ALL life is precious. Arguing that these "cells" are not human is just stupid. Breaking a fertilized egg, punching a pregnant girl (doesn't matter at what month), ect ect would all be seen as taboo and killing something. Abortion is no different. Thanks again. Hopefully some people read this and realize its their responsibility to accept the inherit risks of sexual acts.

  • Hey Mike. I am glad someone on this site has the same view as I. The person's complaint before me is sometimes birth-controls fail... well, that is a very large risk we take when having sex. Sex is not just for fun, just to f*** everything 24/7. There is always a risk, you accept this when you have sex. If someone is not mature enough to accept the risk then don't do it. There are plenty of people who can not have kids that are willing to adopt.All you have to do is carry this child for 9 months

  • Get a life.

  • @Riah92 Let's twist your logic around, laws against murder don't actually stop all murders, so let's repeal all homicide laws. See how silly that argument becomes when you actually look at it? And it is a pretty much universally accepted personal belief that killing is wrong, so I don't see how you can say being pro-choice comes down to personal beliefs.

  • I accidentally high rated this.

    Debate all you want opinion is still opinion,being in the law only states it is the opinion of the majority or who the majority chose to represent them. And it is my opinion that there is a period of time when an unborn child does not carry the same rights as a human being. Also, are tax payers willing to cover the extra up to 1900$ per pregnancy for parents who would rather have had an abortion?

  • I'd like to add that you are rather rude. It is obvious you want to convince people (unless you wrote this article with the sole intention of preaching to the choir) but your comments have the tone of some raving lunatic. In the interest of getting people to listen to you long enough to get your point across you should consider working on your manners.

  • Personally I don't think killing humans is bad. I just think killing persons is bad. If something doesn't have a brain, it obviously can't be a person (this gets vague when we bring up artificial intelligence, but that is irrelevant to this subject) so killing it is not murder just like amputating a hand isn't murder. Sure, an embryo has the potential to develop into a person, but in a few decades when biology has advanced some more, so does my hand, so that's not much of an argument.

  • > Many past sexual partners of mine have had multiple abortions.

    It's funny to see how much you despise these baby-killing women yet this somehow didn't stop you from having sex with many of them.

  • ok here's a hypothetical, say you were a 12 year old that fell pregnant after rape. would you keep the baby? would you go to your primary or middle school class and endure kids asking why your fat? would you have the emotional maturity to decide for yourself to keep the baby or not once its born? either way, emotionally and physically you would be f***ed. and your suggesting its evil to NOT put a child through that?

  • AlmostAsylum - goes one way, not the other. I expect most (or almost all) in favor of abstinence only education are pro-life, but most pro-lifers are not in favor of abstinence only education. Best data I could find was that 18% of Americans favored abstinence only education, while almost half call themselves pro-life (and 2/3 are opposed to second term abortion). So its a significant minority of pro-life people who are in favor of abstinence only education.

  • Women have a right to choose birth control (something only a tiny minority of pro-lifers are against), they don't have a right to commit infanticide.

    If you disagree with pro-lifers, you need to tackle WHEN the unborn should be given the rights of a person. It's the -only- relevant point. I happen to not think this is at conception, but saying 'don't control women's bodies' etc is just ... idiotic. Once its a person, you're damn right the laws will protect the child.

  • Wow. This argument is getting really really old. At this point, you can't do a single thing about abortion. If you don't like them, don't have anything to do with them. Writing a ridiculously long rant like this is a complete waste of time. It's unnecessary.

  • Alright. a fetus is not technically alive until it is born.

    and the whole mev vs. women bit; domestic violence cannot be compared to abortion.

    im pretty sure a fetus cannot register pain.

    so, lemme get this straight. a 12 year old girl gets raped and pregnant. but, she'll give birth. even if she's begging for abortion. not only is it highly likely that both the baby and this girl will die during child birth, but if they don't, that child will not be able to take care of the baby properly.

  • if abortion should be considered murder, should miscarriage be considered involuntary manslaughter or 3rd degree murder? Don't agree?

    What if the mother in question decided to become pregnant at an older age, ignoring scientific evidence that women become less able to carry a baby to term as they get older?

    At the very least they should be charged with wrongful endangerment, for putting the unborn child in a situation that has been proven hazardous. Even if they don't have a miscarriage.

  • Abortion was banned by a Romanian dictator who was later killed in a revolution by people most of whom would not have been born if abortion was allowed. A fetus is not born, it cannot be killed. It doesn't have a nervous system, it can't feel pain. When the nerves and the brain are not formed it can't cause pain. Also, shaming 'sluts' is bullsh*t. Promiscuity has nothing to do with morals. Perfectly decent, and nice human beings may have casual sex. Guys don't get labelled like this.

  • Premise-- a human life has some intrinsic value. No it doesn't. In fact, the kid might grow up and commit a crime which would give him a negative intrinsic value.

  • ok so here's my opinion on abortion...personally I believe that abortion is wrong, just because you got "raped" or it was an "accident" doesn't mean you should get an abortion, but unless the baby your going to have is some sort of a demon,monster,deformed,evil or some other bizarre being then its OK to abort it. then again its not right to abort the baby just because of some stupid reason that is natural, you always have the option to put him/her up for adoption or somehow get rid of it.

  • I'm strongly against abortion, personally. Being that my mother had one and didn't tell me about it, I could have had another sibling. And as Reagan said "I've noticed that everybody that is for abortion has already been born." I'm a Republican, but not super religious...but you can't complain about war with another country when there are American babies who can't defend themselves being killed.
