This post is basically short and sweet but one I am passionate about. I had never heard of WRRAP until now. This is an organization who financially supports women to have abortions. They do not discriminate against age, race, financial background, etc. They assist in giving a woman the right to choose. For example, the following are a few they have helped:
* A 29 year-old low-income woman who works but her insurance will not cover abortion services.
* A 17 year-old who cannot tell her mother she's pregnant.
* A 20 year-old living with her sister and three other children. She works part time at McDonald's and the man will not help.
If some women are in a financial crisis and living in conditions that do not warrant for another child then why put themselves in a position where they can get pregnant. I am completely voicing my opinion on this...if you are not capable of having a child and supporting it then don't have unprotected sex or sex period. It's not a hard concept to understand. On the other hand they have helped women in situations, such as a 34 year-old who has the mental capacity of a 6 year-old and was raped, fund an abortion. In this situation, yes, I do believe in abortion. People need to wake up and realize they have to take responsibility for their actions. When I read this article, which is actually an e-mail sent to WRRAP, it struck something in me that I felt I needed to write about. This world has enough issues to worry about! People need to be more responsible in their life and what they choose to do with it. Link.

I feel strongly about this issue also. If you willingly have unprotected sex in a country where you can get a pill, a patch or a condom anywhere, then you should be able to take care of a child. At lease put the child up for adoption! I know so many people who can't have kids yet someone who got pregnant on accident who can't afford a child can just terminate it. How selfish.
ReplyDeleteI just read that only 1% of all abortions occur because of rape.
