One of the fascinating phenomena I have witnessed is the lack of understanding of cause and effect in the US and how mechanisms work. The classic case we are seeing is ISIS - many people are saying it was directly caused by the US invasion of Iraq and meddling in other places in the Middle East, that there was no planning by W when the invasion happened to fill the power vacuum they'd cause etc...

Another of the effects of the legalization of abortion was the decrease in crime rate 18 years later on. The anti aborts like to put this down to increased spending on police departments and better technology but this implies that mothering, in particular is worthless as Nicolae Ceausescu wrongly assumed when he banned abortion. But James Fallon proves mothering  is invaluable in raising children. Fallon,  while looking at PET scans of psychopaths, discovered he himself was a psychopath but because he was a very much loved and wanted child who also discovered he had a choice not to be a serial killer or a rapist.

There is no guarantee that forcing a woman to have a child will make that woman love it or care for it. Another problem with anti-aborts is they often shame women for adopting out their children, just read some of the comments to this woman and you will see the tirade of hatred doused on her for not wanting to be a mother and some of it from women who no doubt wish they themselves didn't have children when adoption isn't the best option and throwing more unwanted kids into the foster system is definitely no solution.

But most people have never thought about why women might seek abortion especially when they are seeking the right of a woman to have an abortion.

Yes it is sad that a women seeks to terminate the life of a fetus - the lose of all that potential, but what about the woman's life - she has to abandon projects to raise a child she may not want. She can't afford to have the child or she just doesn't get any support from people around her while raising it. Having a child is a mind bogglingly difficult job, as this woman cites she is tired of "the crying, temper tantrums, and getting into mischief" and all she gets is tough love in response "You need to toughen up" and "My husband and other family members said they will disown me". Perhaps if the husband wants the kids, he should stay home and look after them.

We need to stop telling women to have children they don't want and mind our own business. Especially if we have nothing to lose by interfering. If we will never help the women with our time, money or responsibility then her choices should purely be her own, this goes especially for men. She is the one risking death by having a child in the first place, yes plenty of women die in child birth. Plenty of fetuses miscarry, and this happens because we are animals - fetuses are purely genetic experiments not miracles, because if babies were miracles, god would turn up in person and hand the baby over instead of women having to endure child birth.

    I am interested in progressive politics, women's rights, science & art. I believe the only way we'll survive is if we help each other.
