unpopular opinion time!

i am pro-choice.

not because i think that a woman should be able to do whatever she wants with her body, or because human beings that are already alive should have more rights than the fetus or anything like that.

actually, my mindset is probably more in line with pro-life values in that i think that if you made the conscious decision to have sex (i am aware that not everyone who gets pregnant made that decision, i am not talking about the victims of any type of rape), then you should be ready to deal with the consequences - stds, emotional damage, pregnancy, etc. you knew that you could get pregnant when you made the choice to have sex, you should deal with the consequences.

however, i don’t think that anyone who doesn’t want to be a parent will be the best parent they could be (i don’t even think that a lot of people should be allowed to have children at all, but that’s a discussion for another time), and you shouldn’t bring a child into the world under the circumstance of being unwanted. it’s absolutely unfair to that child.

so that is why i’m pro-choice.
