I find this a bit dishonest. Unless I'm mistaken. If so please correct me. But abortions are done removing a "pile of cells" a pile of cells conveys the idea that it's just this gloop. Basically drool or a clump of blood. But aren't most abortions actually cutting out a fetus? Not just this blob. But an actual already formed baby? I know there are pills that can cause the cells not to attach. But I guess I've always been confused why people try to reduce it to a "pile of cells" as if it is a petri dish content. If you are willing to chop up and hose out a fetus. Shouldn't it be honestly described? I tend not to really get into these conversations. So I'm not very knowledgeable. If I'm wrong please correct me.
It’s a pile of cells. That’s why sane people can approve of abortion in early pregnancy, when there’s no chance that pile can feel anything. What was called “partial birth” in crazy US is not abortion, it’s butchering. No one sane can approve of that, just like no one sane could ever approve of killing living, breathing babies.
Example to clear the pile of cells issue: it’s an old custom not to announce your pregnancy for first two months, because that’s when it becomes serious, after those first two months. When early pregnancy is lost it’s hard too, of course, emotionally, but biologically speaking it’s not as big deal as it is if almost viable baby goes away.
Timing is everything here.
I have never heard of a woman who was happy to have an abortion, but that option must exist, though it has to be last of last choices, the desperate option.
No woman today can say she didn’t know how babies are made, and how to avoid that, but no one knows what life can bring and what kind of insane situation you can find yourself in. That’s why there must be choice. If for no other reason, then because my uterus is my uterus, not preacher’s, pope’s or anyone else’s. Mine. I decide if I’m going to grow someone inside it or not. Period. No pun intended.
