Abortion?

[cIementine]

There are oral contraceptives you know? XD

Spoiler: tw rape

i doubt anyone who has been raped is going to think 'wow, can't believe i just got raped. better take that morning after pill'. pretty sure they're going to be emotionally traumatised and hopefully in contact with the police, and more concerned about their wellbeing. the weight of being raped is enough to handle at a time, never mind thinking about potential pregnancy. that's like saying 'yeah, you got raped, but did you use contraception? no? lol then it's your fault, too bad :/'

The world isn't overpopulated. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere (don't quote me on this) that all of humanity can comfortably live in the state of Texas.

Yes it does matter, and I'm not saying we can do that, but I'm saying that if we had more land we wouldn't be overpopulated, we would be well suited

You literally just said my point is valid

But we don't and can't have more land. It's like mentioning if we had flour we could bake more cakes... in a world where you can't get flour. Sure, it's ideal, but who the hell cares?

 

[seliph]

Unwanted children? That sounds so ****ed up lmao

This just in: not everyone wants a child.

 

[Stalfos]

Not saying anything about your opinions, but does that matter? Can you turn the water into land?

God can.

 

[Tensu]

Yeah, but there are people who do.

I know it does, but it's true. If someone does not want to have a child but they keep them, who knows what that childs life will be like? Not to be rude or anything, but if abortion wasn't a thing, there would be way more unwanted children in the world.

No, I didn't, I'm quoting you xD

Oh then nevermind XD

What do you mean? We have more land than we did thousands of years ago

Pretty sure the police would help with the fact that there was a possibility of being pregnant.

You're right there, there is enough space for all the people on earth, millions more people in fact. However, there isn't enough food, water and other resources to keep all these people alive (technically there is, but it doesn't work like that in practice as the majority of resources goes to western countries) so the word is overpopulated in the way that it can hardly sustain this many people, never mind any more.

 

[cIementine]

Yeah, but there are people who do.

this also just in: people who want and are prepared for children.. don't..get abortions

 

[Fleshy]

Yeah, but there are people who do.

and that's cool, they don't need to get abortions then.

 

[Jared:3]

I love how we went from abortion to overpopulation lol

Yep. It's not the victim's responsibility to protect themselves against an unwanted pregnancy, STI, etc. that may occur from a possible assault. It's the same reason why rookie testers kinda creep me out--why should people (ok, mostly women) feel the need to test all of their drinks for potential date rape drugs? And, if they don't, people can always use it as victim blaming. "She got what she deserved--she didn't use a rookie testing swizzle stick!"

 

[seliph]

Yeah, but there are people who do.

Ok so they can have their own children...

 

[cIementine]

Pretty sure the police would help with the fact that there was a possibility of being pregnant.

probably. but first it's probably like:
1) are you mentally and emotionally ok ma'am
2) we'll find out who did this
3) we'll send you to hospital to see if ur ok and need further help
4) maybe you're pregnant
(priorities at the time and all that)

Unless there's a health issue with the fetus/baby/mother in which it is still very hard to go through with

 

[visibleghost]

what is going on in here ...

like, the unborn thingy isn't a counscipus living thing so it's not murder if you get rid of it..

 

[RainbowCherry]

God can.

...Well tell him to do that, I want a quieter neighbourhood!

What do you mean? We have more land than we did thousands of years ago

How much more exactly? If you said it's not enough, we're not going to stop having babies while we wait for the land to be the correct size.

And I'd think overpopulation would have more to do with consumption of resources than being rather cramped honestly...?

That's true. Exactly why it's important to contribute to charities and things like that. The world is far from perfect, but we can try to make is as good as we can.
