Re: DEFEND ABORTION! PROTEST FOR WOMEN'S LIBERTY!

about an actual fetus - outside of the mother it can't survive. It is not a person and it is just a clump of cells. I find it interesting that people who oppse abortions are mostly conservatives but they also oppose any non-profit groups helping with women's health and then they complain about abortion doctors making tons of money!

Well, the clinics are non-existant or underfunded due mostly to the people who are anti-choice and claim to be fiscally conservative. Offering healthcare to poor women or women who need help taking care of the child seems like too unimportant.

I did take an emergency contraseptive once and I feel i did the right thing. Without it there would have been at least three people totally miserable.
I would have no money or health care to take care of the child. The father would have all the burden and I would be a terrible mother. Yeah there are these romantic stories about motherhood, but having parents who barely made enough to survive its not all that its cracked up to be.

There would be very little support for my or my child if I was forced to have it. In the beginning it was just a clump of cells. To say otherwise is unscientific and ridiculous.

I would hope that all the anti-abortion people first think about the consequences of having no acees to safe abortions - more unwanted kids, more kids abused because they were not wanted, more women dying from unsafe abortions, more women needed to rely on the government for food etc...

And what about when you are raped and get pregnant? Do you have any programs in mind that would help women who now have to look at a child as a product of violence? Will you offer any support to them?

Before you tear something down that has such an overwhelming importance, build some resources first. Otherwise, you are just trying to make my choice at life non-important while you exercise yours.
