How can someone stand behind abortion, when you have a life inside of you that God created for you? How can you say that this life isn’t worth it? If you can’t take care of the baby for whatever circumstances than there is always adoption available to couples who can’t conceive, but still want the joy of being parents. OPEN YOUR EYES! God has bigger plans for us all that we don’t even realize the picture.

Excuse me but it appears your baby is actually upside down
Did you take Sex Ed freshman year because babies come out headfirst

Hi, OP! As someone who was given up for adoption, allow me to call bullshit on your little post there! You see, when I was adopted, I was a white-skinned, healthy, neurotypical infant, which basically put me at the top of the list, right underneath white-skinned, healthy, neurotypical MALE infants! There’s only one kind of infant people wanted to adopt more than me! I was SOOO lucky! But if you actually bothered to look at the information readily available on the interwebs, you would be aware that the majority of people who are forced to rely on abortion for family planning are poor people and people of color. Of course, those two demographics intersect, thanks to the institutionalized racism of our society! Neat huh?!

Of course, even babies of color are not in high demand with couples looking to adopt. Many who do want to adopt outside their race choose to go outside the country, where laws are less strict and the process is often less expensive. Of course, most of the infants adopted this way are obtained in unscrupulous fashion, but who cares about that when you’re saving a little Korean or African baby from the horrible fate of growing up in Korea or Africa??? And all those children who have birth defects, are born with diseases or disabilities, or have other issues… WELL. Who wants to invest that kind of expense and time? Why would you adopt someone broken, LOLOL?!

Granted, there are some wonderful people who understand the system a little better, and make it a point to try and give POC and disabled children a good home. But they make up a very small fraction of potential adopters! This difference in supply and demand leaves a lot of children stuck in the foster system, where their chances of being adopted diminish with every passing year, and their chances of being physically or sexually abused INCREASE! Isn’t that wonderful?

And of course, we haven’t even talked about the person who is giving birth to the baby! I know you probably think pregnancy is a wonderful, happy time, and for some people it is, but it is also one of the greatest health risks a person can take. I love my son very much, and from the day I found out I was pregnant with him, I wanted him! But I also nearly died giving birth to him. You see, I had pre-eclampsia, the most commonly fatal birth complication in the world. My blood pressure was 180 over 130! At twenty-two years old, I was actually headed for a stroke, hah hah! How funny is that? And all it took was missing a single pre-natal appointment during which my blood pressure rose to dangerous levels and my body tried to kill both me and my son. Those seizures sure were fun, as was the emergency c-section performed without anesthetic! And being chained down while the operation was performed, because I was delirious and wouldn’t stop trying to fight off the doctors, that was a BLAST! It was great for my husband too, since he almost lost his wife and child in just forty-five minutes. You can imagine how thrilled he is at the prospect of me ever getting pregnant again. Babies are certainly cute, but pregnancy can have massive health complications, and I know it’s such a bummer, but they are PERMANENT. :( My abdominal muscles never recovered from being hacked through with a scalpel, and the flood of hormones caused by late pregnancy have changed things from heartburn (never used to have it, now, all the time!) to my emotional reactions (I cry when I see pictures of kittens now. I used to be tough). These are changes I did not ask for, cannot control, and cannot fix! And many people go through worse! I know, right? Unbelievable, but go look up the word ‘episiotomy’ and then look up ‘birth rape’ and I’m afraid you’ll find some stuff that just isn’t very shiny. Plus, the studies actually show that people who carry a baby to term, give birth, then give it up for adoption suffer HIGHER rates of post-pregnancy complications like post-partum depression and post-partum psychosis, general depression, and other mental health issues. Adoption actually isn’t good for the person giving birth at all!

I’m afraid the picture you chose to use there is also pretty disingenuous. I know, I know, it seems like nitpicking. I’m not trying to be mean! :( But that picture shows a fully developed, viable infant, and most abortions are performed when the fetus isn’t even a fetus - it’s a blastocyst. That’s just a clump of cells. Seriously! You can totally find pictures on the interwebs and they’re not even gross, LOLOL! Later-term abortions are usually performed because of health complications, though some of our intrepid state legislators are trying to change all that! They care so much about people who are pregnant, you see, that they want to force them to carry dead or dying fetuses inside them until their body either becomes infected while it rots in their tummies (this is called sepsis, and it makes people very sick, and can even kill them!), or forces it out naturally in a gush of blood and fluids! Isn’t that so caring of them? I’m so glad they’re around to make those decisions for me! And if a pregnant person is not allowed to terminate an unviable fetus, in some states, they have to carry the child to term, give birth to it, and then watch it die in their arms because its lungs weren’t developed, or its brain formed outside its skull, or any of a million possible birth defects that will kill you just as quick as lickity-split! Isn’t that wild?! Of course, these people go through terrible grief, and as I mentioned, some of them may get sick and die from not being able to abort dead or dying fetuses. But I guess that’s just A-okay with you, huh?

Basically, I think before you suggest adoption as a universal alternative, you should actually go do some research on adoption. And before you condemn abortion, you should do some research on abortions - not the stuff your church is giving you, the stuff the real doctors are saying. Go to Planned Parenthood (if they haven’t all been closed down, ROFLMAO!) and request whatever information they have on the process, the statistics of who has abortions and why… and actually, all of that is on the interwebs! Isn’t technology AMAZING?

And in closing, since I’ve been asked this question many times and I know it’s coming? Yes, I realize I am here talking to you because I was not aborted. But the thing is, if my mother had chosen abortion, I wouldn’t know the difference, so it wouldn’t matter to me. And if she decided that choice was best for her, then that choice would have been best for her, and I would never want to take that choice away from her. As it is, since I was given up for adoption, and since I have seen the statistics on how badly people who give their children up for adoption suffer, I have spent much of my adult life worrying about her, whether she’s healthy, whether she’s okay, and feeling that if she did suffer from any of the common post-birth symptoms, it is at least partially my fault, even though she made that decision on her own. Which is silly, I know, but at some point, all children have to stare down the consequences of their parents’ having them. For some, that’s poverty. For others, a life-time of their parents struggling to treat and care for a severe illness or disability. For others, it’s wondering if their mother ever got over giving them away, and wishing you could reach out and assure her that it’s okay, she doesn’t have to be haunted.

May your birth control never fail!

Pro.

Sonneillonv deserves a mother fucking standing ovation here.

Slow clap.

this is my favorite post because i think it’s the strongest argument for how abortion isn’t wrong and adoption is not always a solution so people should start researching and not just believing what ever is being shoved down their throats at church. This is not a slow clap this is thunderous boom of people all over the world saying thank you

I clicked on erinsmomma out of curiosity and “Person abandoned their tumblr after losing an argument for abortion. This is now an abortion resource tumblr.”

On a random note, I should not be allowed to have conversations about people being different and having different points of view while listening to this because it makes me want to go on a tangent about the nature of impartiality and how a person’s view on matters is molded by their life experiences and each individual character trait that makes them so unique and…

Yes it is totally a description of both his effects on the in-game characters and his actual fans NOBUNAGA IS THE MOST META CHARACTER it’s great :D (But I don’t think Mitsuhide is undecided…? Not in the sense that he regrets what he did, at least!)

In Chronicles, he isn’t, no. But in all three of the main series games, he kind of is; in SW1 (despite how much I can barely take that game seriously) he actually doesn’t kill Nobunaga in one of his endings (lower path, I think?), in SW2 he either very obviously regrets Honnoji in his own story or ~~goes CLAMP on everything and~~ decides that he should die by the hands of ~~the one he loves~~ Nobunaga, and in SW3 he keeps seriously switching between I DID WHAT HAD TO BE DONE :| and WHAT HAVE I DONE NOOOOOOOO ;A; (His opening quote in his last SW3 stage is literally asking him to lend Mituside the strength to realize Nobunaga’s dream, it doesn’t get more undecided than this.)

HMM ok my thoughts wouldn’t fit into the reply box so have a reblog instead :D!

Re: SW1— I never said it was because of Nobunaga! I just said that he is undecided, which is one of the many sources of my Conflicted Feelings for him. (More on this later.)

As for SW3, I think this is mostly where we see things differently; I don’t think Nobunaga cared for building a peaceful world at all. His main goal is to keep moving forward and to basically change the status quo of the time; if that led to peace, great, if not, also great— as long as it changed. And it’s one thing for Ieyasu and Hideyoshi to keep pursuing his “dream” in his stead because they still thought that was actually his dream all along, whereas Mitsuhide is supposed to have realized otherwise— and then he inevitably goes down that same path. And even if Nobunaga is more interested in the future others will build, that’s kind of a… blanket dream, so to speak. His successors all have one thing in common, but they are still very different people who accomplish things in different ways and have different specific visions for the land; I’d like see Mitsuhide doing that— pursuing his own particular vision for the land.

In any case, I don’t think betrayal was an easy decision at all— in fact, it was probably the hardest decision he ever had to make— and as someone who hates making decisions at all, I can relate to and sympathize with him a lot. But at the same time, indecision is a trait that kind of annoys me, which takes me right back to the reason for this post:

I have Very Conflicted Feelings for Mitsuhide.

ONE OF THESE DAYS I WILL. I really like analyzing characters beyond my usual mindless fangirling (I can even be coherent sometimes, what a shock!) and the more complex they are, the better! (These dumb samurai, why must they give us Conflicted Feelings, Haya?)

professor-tammi replied to your post: “Likewise. I will follow my leader without…

Mitsuhide is pretty unique in that, unlike most of the people who follow Nobunaga, he actually *does* wake up and realize that no, he isn’t going to build his ~world of peace~ for him (Motochika’s fourth event is sort of about this :D)

That’s exactly what I like about him! Although the extent of his ‘waking up’ is kind of questionable because, outside of Chronicles, he’s forever undecided— which makes the shippy fangirl in me happy, but the critical character-lover wants to headdesk. (And this is only a small fraction of my Conflicted Feelings, I need help.)

Also, is that the one where Motochika mentions everyone is ~intoxicated~ with Nobunaga? Because I thought that was a very accurate ~~and gay~~ description of Nobunaga’s general effect on people. (And by people, I mean fans, as well.) (He’s such a bastard yet I can’t not love him, I AM INTOXICATED. uwu)

Fri, 17 May 2013 18:12:54 -0300

“Likewise. I will follow my leader without reservation. Indeed, it is he who guides me through the blood and tears of these troubled times.Toward the peace on the horizon.”

One of these days, I’ll write a longass post about my Conflicted Feelings for Mitsuhide, complete with quotes from the games and possibly some keysmashing, but for now let me just say that it’s stuff like this that makes me torn between wanting to gather him up in my arms and cuddle with the poor baby and. Bitchslapping the hell out of him and be like MITSUHIDE BABY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WAKE UP ALREADY NOBUNAGA IS NOT A GOOD PERSON HE IS NOT GOING TO BUILD A HAPPYSPARKLY WORLD THE WAY YOU WANT.

That said, Chronicles!Mitsuhide is possibly the one version of him I respect the most because he’s the least undecided. Yet he gives me the most Conflicted Feelings, too, do you see my problem?

I’m in a bit of a shit right now. I miscalculated when I was getting money, and I really need some to supplement me for the rest of the month, after that, I’ll be fine.

The problem is, I need around 400-500 to get me through until my next check comes in. For rent and bills.

As such, I’m willing to offer things in exchange for payment; I can pretty much only write things as a form of selling, but I’m open to pricing on them. I’ll write fanfiction so long as I know the series, songs, poems, whatever you want.

Just shoot me a tumblr message (i also use fanmail) and we can talk. My paypal is dreamstodreamers[at]gmail[dot]com.

Any little bit helps and I really appreciate it from you all. Thank you.

Edit: I’d like to add that I have some administrative experience and am willing to do ‘filing’ (organizing your items if you give me a list), writing letters, doing lists, research, and many other things. So feel free to ask for that stuff too.
