All the cool kids are Pro-Choice♥

"No woman wants an abortion as she wants an icer cream cone or a Porshe. She wants an abortion as an animal caught in a trap wants to gnaw off it's own leg." ~Fredrica Mathewes-Green


Fact: A fetus is not capable of feeling pain until 24 weeks of pregnancy.
Fact: Fifty-four percent of women who have abortions had used a contraceptive method during the month they became pregnant

Fact: The majority of women are who get abortions are in their 20’s (58% in 2008)

Fact: 61% of women who have abortions already have kids

Fact: Eighty-eight percent of abortions occur in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy

Fact: Fewer than 0.3% of abortion patients experience a complication that requires hospitalization

Fact: experts have concluded that abortion does not pose a hazard to women’s mental health

Fact: Even without specific parental involvement laws, six in 10 minors who have an abortion report that at least one parent knew about it

Fact: an estimated 70,000 women die every year from unsafe, illegal abortions.
You read that right, SEVENTY THOUSAND WOMEN. Making abortion illegal will not stop abortion. It will stop women from recieving safe, clean, legal abortions from qualified professionals. Illegalizing abortion kills women. Protesting abortion clinics kills women.Anti-Choicers claim to be "pro-life," pro who's life? The fetus' life? The life of the unborn child? Why not the life of the full grown, walking, talking, cognitive woman?What about the woman seeking an abortion because she has three children, and if she chooses to have another child that will mean less food for the children she alread has?What about the 19 year old college student who got date raped at a party?AntiChoicers constantly beg that we "think of the children" (let's not even get into the fact that a "fetus" and a "child" are not the same thing) but Pro Choicers chose to think of the women.My body, my rights. You don’t believe in abortion? Don’t get one. The end.
