I'm not a very "political" person in general but I can't keep my mouth shut on this one.

Abortion as early as six weeks into pregnancy is banned in Ohio, and keep in mind that's when most women don't even realize that they are pregnant. This means if they are not able to realize soon enough before six weeks into the pregnancy, they will/might be jailed or even charged as a murderer should any abortion be performed. Oh and I was also introduced this new term, "Pro-life". Apparently, that's the name for those anti-abortion team and people who supports the abortion ban. Read here for a more detailed introduction on Pro-life and Pro-choice.

Now, it makes me wonder if those people understand the real meaning of this, the consequences, and the effect it will actually cause.

The legislation does not include an exception for case such as rape. Should a woman abort the baby, even of a rapist, she will be charged. Imagine this; If you or any women in your life you know were raped and impregnated, you can only watch them suffer through nine months of pregnancy. Until the day she delivers the baby, you watch her hold the baby of someone who has committed sexual violence on her just because abortion is now illegal in your country. Everything was against her will! Yet she will be forced under the new law to keep the baby because if she ever aborts the baby, she would be "murderer".

Not all pregnancy is beautiful and pictured like stock images where man hugs woman from behind while holding her belly with a big smile. Some pregnancy is painful. Some pregnancy reminds suffer. And yes, kind of irresponsible but some pregnancy happens unintentionally when both parents are not financially ready for a newborn. Instead of aborting the baby, pro-lifers think that the unborn have the right to live. Yet they don't care about the welfare and well-being of children afterwards. Once the baby is out, those naysayers are not the least concern because now the baby is yours. Who's going to support the baby? Will the baby survive due to poor finance? Will the baby get it's tummy filled? Who knows. But if you failed to raise the baby up like what they expected, they criticize you for giving birth and not having the ability to raise a kid. How ironic, huh?


"Don't like abortion? Just ignore them like how you ignore children in foster care."

Most pregnancies are beautiful but not all. This is why I'm Pro-choice. Give women the basic human right and freedom to decide when and whether they want to have children. Why are these bunch of people making laws about women's bodies? It doesn't matter if these people are men or women? No one should be making laws about women's bodies if it means taking away women's freedom to decide what they can or cannot do to their body. If you don't like abortion, fine, don't get one. But don't you fucking dare to think you have the rights to take away someone else's freedom just because of your stupid beliefs.
