I actually really enjoy the sentiment behind this. And I am saying this as a proud dad. This argument DOES work. Not everybody dreams of having children and leading the normal life of a family. When you people criticize this sentiment, you act as if getting pregnant is somehow destiny and not going through with it is some moral dilemma. Fuck that. If you don’t want a kid, you shouldn’t have to have one just because you like to fuck. I think the original poster and the sentiment that it is implying is far more outragous and offensive than the piece of paper taped to it. Abortion doesn’t change everybody. I know plenty of women who have had them and felt nothing afterward but relief. I hate this revolution of “keep your kid even if you don’t have the capacity to love it.” That is so much more sickening than getting an abortion. Some people have dreams that don’t involve children and some people just shouldn’t have them. Abortion is for those people. If you don’t want one, don’t get one. Otherwise, shut up about it.
I hope whoever taped that up is fulfilling those dreams. I am one of those people that is trying to fulfill mine with a child, but that was a personal choice that two people made. Now, for me, having a child kind of rewired my dreams, but that doesn’t happen for everybody. I just don’t think anyone should have the authority to come between two people and their decisions. I am tired of people acting like pregnancy is a gift from God or a blessing. It’s what we’re biologically built to do. Do people really not get this? Our technology has risen faster than our evolution. Why do so many people fight it? Please. Someone tell me. I’m really interested in how anyone could be self-righteous enough to think they can determine someone’s entire life process for them.
I think abortions are unfortunate, but in some cases, the best choice. I have heard women (well, usually girls) say they knew from the day they found out they found out they were pregnant, that they could not possibly abort their baby. GREAT! Perfect example of someone who should not have an abortion. On the other hand, if someone feels that they are not ready to take care of a child and that having one could potentially ruin both of their lives, then they are probably right.
