Abortion Isn’t Radical — The Prolife Movement Is
Abortion is necessary healthcare
“You’re killing babies!” It’s the rallying cry of the “prolife” movement. The problem is, that’s a bald-faced lie. Killing babies is illegal. Abortion removes a pregnancy. Nothing more. It’s not “murder.” It isn’t “cruel.” It isn’t “barbaric.” The embryo or fetus being removed can’t think or feel. It doesn’t know it exists.
The fact is that ninety-one percent of abortions in this country take place at 13 weeks or less. Yet the prolife movement would have people believe that in the United States of America infanticide exists and healthy babies are routinely ripped from women’s uteruses and chopped into pieces. It’s utter nonsense. No patient asks for that procedure, and if they did, no doctor would perform it.
While the “prolife” movement sticks to the false notion that pregnancy is some sort of magical, spiritual act protected by God, nothing could be further from the truth. First off, “God” (or mother nature or whatever) aborts more pregnancies than humans ever could. Building a human being from scratch is an incredible, complicated feat that requires billions and billions of successful cell divisions and replications without too many errors, or the pregnancy fails. Because humans are so complicated, our pregnancies fail far more often than other mammals…
