Pro-WHAT?!?!?!

Pro-Life...

Give me a break.

[Before I get going on this rant, allow me one caveat; I don't support abortion as a form of BIRTH CONTROL. Thank you.]

So, yeah, let's see...

Whenever I get into an argument with someone about abortion in rl, they usually end up asking me how I feel about the idea that I could have been aborted. (RL arguments go so much faster, though.) I thought I'd address that first.

My mother had me when she was 19 years old. I'm sure a least a couple of people told me to abort her. Yup, I could have been aborted. I might not be here right now! What a concept to contemplate!

I mean, think about it...if I had been aborted:

I wouldn't have lived hand-to-mouth in a little roach-infested white-trash apartment.
I wouldn't have had abusive parents.
I wouldn't have been a complete social outcast for the first 9 years of my schooling.
I wouldn't have been molested.
I would never have had to be cold in the winter when we couldn't afford warmer clothes.
I would never have attended a crappy lower-end school.
I wouldn't have ever been depressed, or dropped out.
I wouldn't be dealing with gender issues.

How lucky I am to be alive!

[/sarcasm]

I should have been aborted. I've said that many a time to people in rl, and I'll keep right on saying it. I stand by that firmly.

As for abortion, I would abort any kid I got pregnant with, ( and I have many, many reasons )
