Like I would even know if I was. Plus my parents would have been better off financially at least.

I am a fan of this kind of dark humor. But for real, suicides are going to skyrocket. Fuck this country sucks.
BestJackalope
My grandma asked my mom if she wanted to abort when she was pregs with me cause I was put of wedlock, mom was young, etc. Mom got mad 1/
BestJackalope
2/ and told me this after I expressed outrage over Roe. Tried to lord it over me. Told her she should've done it. She would've been happier.
BestJackalope
She wouldn't have been trapped in a loveless marriage for 24 years, pumping out 4 more kids just as miserable as me cause we saw through it.
Youhavinagiraffe
Loads of people who have abortions have children later in their own time. So their kids wouldn't exist if they hadn't had an abortion

Dark humor is like an aborted fetus. Never gets old.

For reference, my mom tried to abort me and was stopped. While that is agonizing for me to deal with, I am still pro choice.

If I had been aborted, I wouldn’t know….

"What if you got aborted?' Well motherfucker, I wouldn't have to work 50 hours a week in a job I hate to afford not starving to death.
WhyWeDoThis
My mom didn't as she wanted me, but dude your mom should regreat having you as she would not have imagined you will turn out to be a stooge.

LOL I want someone to ask me this, cause I wanna give a similar answer, just to see the reaction.
capughe
Well I wouldn't have any feelings about it being nonexistent
HeirElfSquire
So many kids should have been aborted... unpopular opinion.
ProppaGanda
For example me. This cursed existence.
bippityboppitybuttsex
I am willing to bet anyone can name 100+ people that, if they had been aborted, the world would be demonstrably better
Jimmytheeel
Not that unpopular
LCMcG
People worry about me when I say my mom's life would probably have been much better if she hadn't had me. I get it, but chill.

Unpopular? No. Unspoken, sure

I wish I was aborted but apparently "I'm here on purpose". My parents have since apologized

According to the Catholic Church my mom attended as a kid, you're not responsible for your own sins until you're an adult*. (1/?)

So if the embryo/fetus has a soul, they get a free ride to heaven without having to suffer the BS of life on Earth. If it does not (2/?)

They tried to commit suicide and got committed to a mental health facility which gives the grippy socks.

On a side note, I have only heard good things regarding those socks.

FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
mental illness in general are statistically much higher among the unplanned. Which is why I consider myself pro-abortion,not just pro-choice
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
I'm still pro-choice too. But I also think unless a pregnancy is 100% planned & desired, abortion is always the best possible outcome.

"What if you were aborted" is a powerless argument in the face of millennials who crave non-existance.

Millennials who think they invented craving non-existence, you mean.

The 8mo isn’t ever going to know that its parent tried to shake it to death, either.
porcubot
You don't have to kill it. You can surrender it to the state. Bodily autonomy means that a fetus does not get to live off your body.
porcubot
You do understand how that's different, right? Cause you need to.
WaveMotionGum
A zygote with 32 cells is about the size of a poppy seed. You could hold 100k in the palm of your hand easily. They are nothing like an 8mo
alex5775
The difference is that 8mo old can feel pain and fear it is a human. A fetus is only a potential human just like every sperm and egg cell
alex5775
As "what if you're parents never got together?" Well, I wouldn't be around to care.
WaveMotionGum
The unstated bit is that any argument valuing "potential life" is an argument against contraception, heck even an argument against celibacy.
DocWats
Shit even jerking off is sending the swimmers to be interred in a cotton casket
alex5775
Precisely.
Zerubbabel
So, if you sneak up on it, it's fine?
alex5775
No, you would be ending a human consciousness something a fetus does not have
Zerubbabel
That's difficult to prove.
braveboy510
What do you think of studies claiming pain can be felt in fetuses by end of trimester 2? Many non-human animals can also feel pain + fear.
alex5775
Can you link me to these studies. And you're being needlessly pendantic with that second point, you know damn well what I meant
braveboy510
Here’s an article which references a few. Looks like some sources here claim 27 to 30 weeks is the start time for pain, rather than (1/2)

Wrong. You could just tell someone not to use a condom, or not to have sex at all.

I don't see why you would, a fetus is no more a human than a sperm or egg, just a potential. You can't just tell people not to have sex 1/

It's a normal, healthy part of the human experience. Birth control should be encouraged, but mistakes happen

Uh... grippy socks = inpatient footwear, right?
SeanBeanJovi
Yup.
PegasoRojo
Pretty sure that's the reference, but if we are both wrong, someone tell us!
valiantaesir
Spot on :)
WontSomeonePleaseThinkOfTheChildren
From personal experience, yes, inpatient footwear.
valiantaesir
Specifically mental inpatient. Shoes have things that can be used to self harm, so we get the warm grippy socks :D
SealandIsARealCountry
I got some after my epidural was removed and I was cleared to walk. I still use them cause they're so cozy

Leave them a one star yelp review, that'll show them! (Also they are cheap AF online, just google "medical grip socks")
aintnothinbutahounddog28
Yes they're used there, but they give them to literally everyone that has any procedure done at a hospital. They don't want falling/slipping

Truth, even the slightest fall risk gets the Glorious Grippies.
