#thats like saying veggie tales couldnt happen if someone hadnt planted those specific cucumber and tomato seeds

[martian-martian-martian]

I’m so tired of seeing prolife shit, there was literally a march here in SF because… here’s the punchline:

People don’t know when they’re unwanted.

But anyway:

-Unwanted pregnancies will still be born probably forever (your precious imaginary accident baby who turns into a superhero will be fine)

-Children who are wanted by their parents have just as much liklihood of becoming doctors who cure cancer. I don’t know why that needs saying.

-Children who are wanted by their parents are also statistically more likely to be able to fucking EAT and live into adulthood because they havent thrown their parents into abject poverty, an unsustainable living situation.

-Additionally, for what it’s worth, wanted children can be abused or have terrible living situations too? Prolifers shave this obsession with the idea that children need to be abused, or unwanted, or poor and come from nothing to become incredible groundbreaking people. It’s such a fetishizing, bootstraps mindset that reeks of Catholic suffering culture. People will always suffer. Some of us just don’t want to set them up at fucking birth.

-By the way, children who arent aborted and instead are born to unfit parents can actually be taken away from those parents and put in the foster system, which I would argue is much more trauamatic and harmful than peacefully never having been fucking born.

-Whether or not any celebrity, historical figure, or god forbid fictional character could have been aborted or not has no bearing on reality because, as it happens, they were not. You are a tool of propaganda for a circle of white men who do not care if you live or die as long as they can keep raping you and people like you without concern or consequence.

“What if _____ was aborted! All the lives they changed, their positive impact never would have existed.”

That’s like saying Veggie Tales couldn’t have existed if the EXACT tomato and cucumber seeds weren’t planted, you sound fucking insane.

-People who are pro choice are more pro child than pro lifers will ever be.

-Abused, neurodivergent/disabled, and/or accidental babies can grow up to be pro choice. I am one of them.

-38% of abortions are mothers who don’t want to have any MORE children, but conservatives want to turn them into a pump and dump baby mill.

-I hazard a huge amount of the pushback on abortion from white conservatives is 1) hypocrisy, as many, like Walker, pay the girls they fuck to get them on the down low anyway, but 2) is because they know that todays unaborted poverty stricken generation, many of whom are minorities, is tomorrow’s faceless minimum wage workforce or military.

Nobody will likely bother to read this because y’all are so convinced (ahem, brainwashed) into your opinions, but the least you can do is shut the hell up about how much you want to preserve rape culture and churn babies into unfit homes and watch them fight for survival to slake your lust for a suffering underdog.
