Anti Abortion Laws in Georgia

Tweet

So let me start by saying I am a firm believer in your body, your decision. If it doesn't affect me then I have no right to tell you what to do with YOUR body. I know there are a lot of people who are pro life, that is until the baby is born, then they are on their own. The problem is these people think that EVERYONE getting an abortion is just some irresponsible heathen who would rather get pregnant then abort instead of using birth control which obviously is not always the case. There are many more reasons for why someone may want or HAVE to terminate a pregnancy such as rape, inability to care for a child (remember overpopulation is a thing and there are already so many children in need of loving homes in the world), medical complications for mother and/or child in which one or both will die at birth or the child won't have any kind of life after being born. There are so many reasons that ignorant people choose to ignore in order to believe that the only people who get abortions are horrible people using abortion as birth control. This new law in Georgia is a prime example to the extreme because now they are making it illegal to abort once a heartbeat is heard, the fetus is far from being an actual baby at this point and it is too early to be able to tell what kind of problems it will have if any. This alone is horrible because like I said before some people aren't able to provide the necessary means to raise a child and with so many kids already in the system waiting to be adopted, why would you want to add another? Another aspect of the law that I find absolutely appalling is that a woman suffering from miscarriage can now be liable for second degree murder for something she can't control and that probably has her suffering enough by losing a child that she planned on having. Where is the justice in that? It is disgusting that people think they have a right to tell someone what to do with their own body with no regard to them as a person. I have family and friends who are against abortion and we agree to disagree on the subject so let us all be adults here and discuss this: What are your thoughts on abortion? How do you feel about these laws in Georgia? Have you ever had to face the decision or do you know someone who has had to face the decision between keeping or terminating a pregnancy?
