How do you know better? Do you hang around a lot with “sluts”? Are you one yourself?
I’m so fed up with these arguments. You and your male co-thinkers here characterize millions of fine women who have had abortions over the years as sluts. Often condoms or birth control fails, often men abuse weak, or young, or vulnerable or poor & ignorant women and push them to have unprotected sex. Even raped women are often fearful or unable to get help, and few rape cases are resolved — even if the women know the men’s names.
Even prostitutes who protect themselves carefully have unwanted pregnancies and should be able to choose an early abortion via pills or other abortion services that are legal. Their “business” is older than civilization itself, not pretty, but often legal. Society can protect itself. We can’t and shouldn’t seek to have courts and police prevent “sluts” or “prostitutes” from having children — but there is always hope that individuals can change for the better. Sometimes having a child can give a woman new hope. Such “miracles” do occur. But society should protect itself too, and at the very least provide such women legal opportunities to break out of victimhood and a life of self-abasement. This is even more important with drug addicts, whose children — should they be born — are almost always condemned to live miserable lives and end up being supported by the state, in prison or out.
