There's No Such Thing as 'Just' Having a Baby

[Diamond_Dog]

1. This is one of the best pro-choice pieces I've ever read.

It makes my blood boil that laws making abortion illegal are mostly written by men - who have absolutely ZERO concept of the trauma childbirth can cause to a woman’s body. And to force this trauma onto a victim of rape or incest is absolutely unconscionable! Add to that the fact that American hospitals are not exactly ringing endorsements for good maternal survival rates.

Add to this missed work days, missed wages, extra health care costs … it’s sheer cruelty. I see “pro-brothers” never seem to acknowledge the existence of these major issues.

Anyone who breezily dismisses pregnancy and childbirth as a non issue,who says “Just give your baby up for adoption - Easy Peasy!” is a willfully ignorant moron with no heart and no brain!
