    Thumbs down Petition Against Abortion...wtf

    Every once and a while I see a very pro life bulletin on myspace. Well today I read a bulletin and it's a fucking petition (I was going to post the bulletin but I took her off my friends so it wouldn't show up any more) along the line of "my friend is pregnant and is going to have her abortion. I told her boyfriend abortion is wrong, and he agreed, so we've made this petition, and are trying to get 500 ppl to sign it blah blah blah."

    I'm sorry but that is just wrong to me on so many levels. A) I'm very pro choice. not the i think you should use abortion as a form or birth control, but sometimes its not the right time, the right person, whatever, there is some reason it isn't right. I've been in the situation myself and had to make my choice. Sometimes it fucking hurts seeing all this "if you have an abortion you're a bad person" crap, but I know I had my reasons and I'm fine. B) If a myspace petition is whats going to make this chicks mind up, she prob. shouldn't be having a baby. "Oh 500 strangers signed this, I guess that means I'm ready to be a mom!" Seriously.

    None of the pro-life things have ever pissed me off this much. I actually reponded to her bulletin I was so pissed. some people are just really ignorant.

    **And this wasn't meant as a pro-choice rant as much as it seems that way...but a fucking petition? C'mon now.

    Yea this kind of petition doesn't hold up very well. Its just a faux-tition to make herself look stupid really. Can't legally stop someone from aborting their own child.

    I fail to see what would change even if they DID manage to get 500 signatures.

    They're petitioning for what? Nothing, really. All they're doing is being self-rightious and getting 500 strangers (who don't know about or care about the real story) to back them. That's all.

    A serious case of sticking your nose where it doesn't belong! (not you taylorlila). Looking at it from a distance I don't see a woman passionate about a cause, I see an idiot trying to make a big stink about something that has NOTHING to do with her.

    I hate people like that. Always trying to force their beliefs onto other people. I find it so ironic that these pro-lifers will go and kill doctors that do the procedure yet they are trying to stop us from having an abortion. Hmmm...?

    Exactly. You're making a life altering decision and then somebody hands you a printed off piece of paper and you go "Okay well I guess I was wrong." It just amazes me how some people think.

    I HATE humiliation campaigns. A lot of the churches in my area used to allow the picketers to take pictures of girls going into the clinics and then paper the high schools with flyers about the fact that they just aborted a "precious little life."

    Disgusting.

    Believe what you want. But fighting against what you disagree with in as cruel a way as that is abominable, imo.

    That sort of thing so sets back women's rights to like the dark ages..

    I might not agree with abortion, but for pete's sake I would not want this CHOICE of it to be taken away from me.

    I doubt there's really a pregnant girl somewhere with a best friend and boyfriend petitioning to save her baby. This is most likely just a (fairly savvy) publicity stunt designed to get the anti-abortion message out and being discussed by young people. Much more immediate and interesting to peple than, "I'm against abortion. Aren't you, too? Then sign this petition." From a PR campaign perpsective that doesn't create much interest. Much more likely to gain interest if you invent such a backstory. But the point isn't to save some baby somewhere. The point is to cultivate anti-abortion message among the youth.

    I don't know if anyone has noticed, but there is sort of an anti-abortion army developing right now. They mean fucking business, too. In a wacky, redneck, anti-constitutional sort of way.

    OMG killing doctors?!?!? Taking pics of girls walking into clinics?!?!? what the FUCK. so much for peaceful protests.

    I personally never viewed abortion as a choice for me should I become pregnant, but thats such a personal decision....and I cannot speak for others (and would not either), let alone SIGN A FUCKEN PETITION. Who knows what this poor woman's situation is. 500 strangers certainly don't. The right to choose should always at least be there.


    My mom tried to get me to go to one of these rallies last weekend, haha. I told her I can't stand holy freaks. LOL

    threadjack: When I was a little girl, my mom would always take me to church, and her prayer group used to take the prayer requests people would write (eg: "Please pray for my mom dying of cancer") and pray for them. I distinctly remember them throwing away a request that said "Please let women keep the right to choose." GRRRRRRRRRR /end threadjack

    It's funny how many women vehemently insist on women's rights, but in the same breathe insist on outlawing abortion.

    That petition thing sounds fucked up. i hate it when people insist on not minding their own business when it has nothing to do with themselves. Assuming they are able to get the girl to keep it, i'm sure those 500 strangers are going to help with raising the child and supporting it for 18 years, right? And will babysit for free when the mom needs to work? Seriously, people need to get a life.

    I'd like to see how concerned those 500 people would be if they were asked to help raise and financially support the child, she is carrying if she chose to keep it.

    I hope you are right, it's horrible to think of some poor young girl getting given a fucking petition on what she ought to do with her body.

    The whole anti abortion thing seems totally rabid in the States, maybe I'm jsut sheltered from it here in australia but fucking hell thats just ridiculous

    I have a real problem with the people that take these pictures. Jesus, there are more reasons to walk in to Planned Parenthood than because you want an abortion. What if you need birth control pills... or a pap smear? Good god religious nuts are ignorant!

    This is quite true. It still makes me angry. I just think sometimes people get so wrapped up in "it's wrong" that they don't think about the situation. Hell I would have been a terrible mother. I'm selfish, I didn't have a good income at the time, nor another party to give me that much help, nor wealthy parents and hell I had done drugs before I found out.

    And yeah I've def. noticed the anti-abortion army, I've deleted quite a few friends because I don't want to see all these damn bulletins.

    Exactly. Thankyou.

    Grrr. Sorry I get riled up about this. Not only because of my own experiences but because of others. I brought a friend once, and held her hand while she cried through it. She was a junkie. She was a good person...but um hello, are these people going to petition for her to keep her child?

    I agree that it's a case of people should mind their own effin business.

    If the story is true I feel sorry for the girl having a "friend" like that. Even if she has strong views on one side, she is not being a good friend by forcing her views/opinions on what will be a life changing decision for her friend.

    Some of the most effortlessly beautiful, kind, intelligent, successful, motivated, driven and ridiculously hilarious women that I have ever met have been dancers. I've met the best friends that I've ever had in this industry.

    Word. Up.

    Not to threadjack but how much does it cost to give birth assuming no insurance? I never really hear about that--I mean, even if you're planning on giving the child up for adoption, it costs money to have the child and not all adoption facilitators are free, right? So even that needs some kind of funding. Or am I crazy here?

    This is true. I want to say, depending on where you are there are places and organizations to help with this, but I'm not sure how easy that is or how much help you get and I'm sure it's not everywhere.

    My problem with adoption is that I think I'd be too attached at that point.
    I was adopted, but kept right in the family which I think is a wonderful way to do it, but not everybody has a family member that can just take a child.

    Seriously! How many pro-lifers scream at people to save an innocent life, and then actually care about the baby once it's born? That's right, it doesn't matter if the kid has a shitty life, as long as they were able to stop the mother from getting an abortion.
