life-indelible asked: It is the woman's responsibility to abstain from sex if she isn't willing to become pregnant. Also, if long term care for the child isn't possible in a couple's lifestyle, adoption is always an option. I know countless families who would adore having a child of their own but are unable to. In fact, my parents adopted newborn twins two years ago. Their mom was on the verge of abortion, but chose life for them. They are the highlight of my life.
Wow, I think I have, like, half the anti-choice bingo card crossed off based on your two messages alone.
Alright,
A.) I love (i.e. don’t love) how you place the responsibility on not getting pregnant solely on the woman, as if men are just goddamn forces of nature that a woman can either choose to protect herself from or not.
B.) Adoption is not an alternative to pregnancy. Would you suggest I tell someone who must abort their baby because it’s either that or go off their antipsychotic medications that they doesn’t need to abort in order to maintain mental stability because they can give it up for adoption instead?
C.) Except all of this is irrelevant because you didn’t address my actual point at all. Nobody, whether they’re a fetus, baby, child, teenager, or adult, can use another human being’s body parts for survival without their permission. In fact, I’m going to expand on that and say that the permission must be continuous throughout the entire use of the other person’s body parts. If I needed four bone marrow transplants from one person to survive, and they gave permission for the first two but afterwards changed their mind for whatever reason, well then, I’m shit out of luck.
D.) I’m genuinely happy for you, your parents, and the twins that they adopted. I’m going to assume that you have a nice household for them, and that’s great! However, pregnant people do not need to remain pregnant so that couples who can’t have children can take them. There are already a lot of children without homes stuck in the system instead, I’d suggest these couples try to go about adopting or fostering one of them first.
