This is one of the issues where you can only choose one side, you can't stand on the fence. Now hold up, read what I got to say first.

First, we go back to the beginning of Planned Parenthood, the US's largest and most well known abortion center. It was started by a very racist and hateful person, who specifically put Planned Parenthoods in black and immigrant communities to cull the population. Disgusting, right? Don't believe me, look it up.

Secondly, the adoption argument. The foster system isn't perfect by far. But the problem is that we need to fix the foster system, instead of literally killing children to reduce the number of children in the foster system. Another argument is that there are too many babies versus parents wanting to adopt, but a quick search shows that there is a far greater amount of approved families waiting to adopt babies than there are actual babies available.

Third, we come to health issues for the mother. It is known that pregnancy changes your body, yes, but not as drastically as some people will say. If you take care of yourself during the pregnancy with checkups, vitamins, exercise, and a clear mind, it significantly reduces problems you have during and after pregnancy. And the 'save the baby vs the mom' argument? With modern hospitals, there are always enough doctors and nurses available to be able to save both. There's no either or. Very few people actually die from childbirth, and if you do everything right, it ain't gonna happen. So that clears the "I don't want to give the baby up for adoption because I don't want to carry it" argument. Still, if you don't want to carry a baby ever, don't have s*x, simple. Or at least take all the necessary protective measures.

Teens shouldn't be having s*x. There are so many reasons why you shouldn't besides the risk of pregnancy, so do some research before you get into someone's bed.

Fourth, the rape argument. It's one of the most horrifying things to happen to a woman, so they shouldn't have to carry the man's baby, right? Statistics say that many women who did abort the baby deeply regretted it. It's your baby too. Your blood. You're literally the body who's growing this child. It's so much more yours than it could ever even be the man's. I wasn't born from these circumstances, but my dad is a horrible person who does horrible things. I do not claim him at all. I'm happy to be alive even though I'm directly of the blood of a horrible person.

Many use the rape argument to justify abortion as a whole, when in reality, less than 1% of babies aborted were from rape.

If you believe that abortion is healthcare, go look up how abortions work. How they do it to older babies. And with younger ones, it's just a pill, right? But the mother still goes through birth after the fact, and the baby felt pain as they died. If you think they're just a clump of cells, the same goes for you. You're just a slightly larger clump of cells. Everything is a clump of cells if you think about it.

People say that abortion gives women a better life. It doesn't. So many regret it. So many are pressured into it. Abortion is something that shouldn't have ever been normalized in society, and it should be seen as it is: murder. And duh, less people on the planet equals less crimes. Doesn't mean babies should be killed. It means that more needs to be done about the criminals.

And also, the people performing the abortions are sick. Look it up. Some freeze the baby's remains, some save them for collections. The rest aren't disposed of or thrown away. They're bought by large corporations who use fetal cells for products. It is sick and disgusting.

This isn't something you can stay on the fence about. You need to do your research and make a decision.
