I see you're one of those people who lives life by sound bites. It isn't that simple. You're either a 12 year-old or being deliberately obtuse.

I know exactly what you're doing there. And I don't buy for a second you're pro-choice.
I’ve helped women who did not want to be pregnant access abortion services. I’ve helped them find services, pay for services, get transportation to services and even helped escort them past angry protestors into the abortion clinic. Believe what you want but you are so wrong.

On a personal level I do think abortion is wrong and that was shaped in part by my own experiences in life. I find many of the extreme pro choice talking points disingenuous but understand that it needs to remain a legal option for women for many reasons. I don’t have to pretend there are no victims in abortion to support the legality of it and even support women who have different circumstances than me in gaining access to it. I can also be supportive, understanding and respectful of people who make choices and decisions different from my own. I am very much pro-choice.

As ridiculous as the ability to slaughter your child for convenience? Give me a break.
I never had kids, I took the necessary precautions, (condoms and confirming the female was also using birth control), so that I was responsible for my actions.

I would have supported a child or taken it to raise if I'd had one. I made that decison prior to beginning my amourous adventures.

I would never condone butchering a child for convenience.

Vaccines are a public health issue - and THIS vaccine prevents death. Abortion is not a public health virus.

I have SMDH that people think they know ALL of the solutions to everyone’s problems.

The entitlement is thick.
Why not? There are several posts here where they want the man to get a vasectomy, so what's the difference?
A "pandemic" with a 97%+ survival rate isn't worthy of destroying a lot of people's health just to inflict a bad vaccine on people.
Abortion guarentees the death of the child.

My body my choice right?

Unlike pregnancy anyone that wants the job of caring for a newborn can do it.

Neither would anyone else. I doubt seriously that anyone here would have a problem with having a malignant growth removed that could threaten their lives, either.

That is a good argument for adoption than. Carrying the baby is rarely the reason for the abortion.

Im not sure how this happens to them, I guess they forget their own years as a teen.
Hmmm....people lacking adult judgement such that they cannot be trusted with a credit card, i.e., teen-agers, are going to use adult-style birth control better than the people we do trust with a credit card?

The first priority ought to be teaching teens to take responsibility for their own behavior.

Your approach simply puts the teen in charge.

A child is not a malignant growth.

Trying to dehumanize a human by referring to it in such terms as a "parasite" or "malignant growth" is just pure Bull Fertilizer.

You may not like children, but you were a kid once too, and a baby, and yes, even a fetus, so I guess that by your definition at one time you were a malignant growth? Glad you got better.
