Let us have choice!
Favorite before using. Credit is appreciated, but not required. Usage is allowed only within deviantART, if you find this elsewhere, please inform me. The stamp template I used is not my own, and can be found here .

Author's Notes: Apologies if the center-balance is off by a bit, I rushed to make this. I keep finding stamps that are either too garish, or plain unattractive, so I made a simple monochrome one for those that would use it. That's not to say that this stamp is entirely attractive or anything, but at least I'll use it! If you're anti-choice/pro-life, please do not leave a disrespectful comment, you may disagree peacefully. This is for those that are pro-choice, so please find a pro-life/anti-choice stamp instead.

• "But abortion is murder!" - At most, abortion could be considered involuntary manslaughter. Murder is the premeditated killing of one human being by another. Whether it is murder or not would depend on sentiency and personhood, both of which I believe that the fetus does not retain. Besides, people justify murder by numerous things, namely, as self-defense. I personally believe that bodily-autonomy of the person carrying the fetus should be put above all. Regardless of whether the fetus is alive or not, it doesn't grant it the rights to use another's body without continuous consent - the same way nobody can force another to give a blood donation or offer an organ.

• "You chose to have sex!" - Granted, consent to sex is (biological) consent to pregnancy, if it involves PIV-action. However, consent to sex isn't consent to remaining pregnant, so whether the pregnant person decides to abort, birth, or leave for adoption is their wish. However, especially if the person was raped and/or taking contraception, it is clear knowledge that they were not consenting to pregnancy, at least intellectually. Consent isn't entirely transferable. There are always repercussions on people's actions, and the idea that a (possibly) consensual few hours of mutual pleasure means nine months of pregnancy is just cruel. If you drive, you might get into a wreck. If you swim, you might drown. If you smoke, you have a possibility of getting lung cancer. But we don't deny medical treatment on the premises that a choice was involved.

• "You're going to regret your abortion!" - Scientific proof shows that the majority of people that receive abortions feel relief. The point is, if you have an abortion you didn't want, you could regret it. If you have a pregnancy you didn't want, you could regret it. Regret is not a direct function of what choice is being made, it is one of being unsure of your decision.

• "There are so many infertile people in the world, and you're disrespecting them!" - As someone who has the possibility of ovarian cancer, and thus, infertility, I can assure you: I don't care. My personal want (or lack thereof) towards children does not change that. The concept that someone else is ruining my life by not using their ability to conceive the way I would (perhaps) perceive it, is just idiotic. Infertile people are not a basket case, and they are not part of your victim card.

• "Your aborted fetuses could have amounted to great things!" - They could also amount to awful things. This argument is just...I don't understand the mental capacity of the person who made this. By this argument, every infertile person's imaginary child and every non-pregnant person's imaginary child could've also amounted to great things. You can't blame someone for not having children.

• "Why can't you just leave them for adoption?" - Because in most cases, the foster care system is majorly corrupted. If people don't want their babies and children, they'll place them in an adoption center or an orphanage. People want young children, infants and babies, because they are easier to manipulate and mold into the person they wish their child to be. A child that is unwanted, for whatever reason, will stay there until 18. Not to mention, pregnancy is extremely dangerous, much more so than abortion. Especially if the community the pregnant person lives in is extremely pro-fetus and conservative, leading to ridicule and hatred. People could lose their occupations, and their income. Not to mention, adoption is a healthy alternative to parenting, not pregnancy. If someone is pregnant and wishes to be otherwise, abortion is the only option available as of now.

These are just some of the absurd arguments that pro-life/anti-choice people have started. Some, but not all are religious, so I cannot call them rabid Christians due to an extremist minority. Now, I know I've given numerous reasons as to why abortion should be legalized and is perfectly fine, but the only "valid" reason a person needs to abort is that they simply don't want to carry the pregnancy to term/don't want the fetus. It's that simple. I suggest you check here , if you're searching for abortion clinics.
