1·1 hour agoIt makes your stance understanable and very human to me.
This is exactly why I speak out about these issues, that’s why I post news articles about these issues, this is why I’m very vocal about women’s rights.
I wish you had felt that level of empathy for this child earlier as well, but thank you for recognizing the point of view of women on this issue.
Ahh it’s in Canada. Thank you so much for the link!

2·3 hours agoYeah, she should, and it’s wrong that she wasn’t. So you are saying that, because the system didn’t allow her any other path to abortion, you feel such a late abortion was the right call?
I would rather kill myself than be forced to give birth again.
I know I’m not alone in that feeling.

3·3 hours agoYou’re up and down this comment section tut-tutting about how wrong this teenager is and ignoring the circumstances that forced her there because you’re from Europe.
Joke’s on all of us- RFK is actually solving our obesity crisis by allowing all our food to be contaminated.

7·14 hours agoThis teenager would have chosen to abort earlier if she could.
Yes. There’s very, very few abortions that happen in the third trimester and those are heartbreaking situations usually involving a very much wanted baby. Laws shouldn’t tie doctors hands in those situations either.
You can’t separate out the inability to access appropriate healthcare from this case. They are entwined.

7·15 hours agoMost women would not choose to abort at 31 weeks if healthcare was accessible.
You’re asking the wrong question.

4·15 hours agoIt wasn’t this teenager’s first option to abort at 31 weeks either.
Edit: You’re talking past a really big point here. If abortion had been accessible, this teenager wouldn’t have made the choice to abort at 31 weeks. She would have done so right when she found out she was pregnant at 20 weeks. Hell, maybe with better sex education, she would have better prevented this unwanted pregnancy to begin with and no one would have been in this position.
But that didn’t happen. And the choice was try to abort or face death and an unwanted child with birth.

11·15 hours agoAbortion should be accessible. Healthcare should not be limited. Women should have autonomy over their bodies.

2·16 hours agoYou have a very fundamental misunderstanding of how pregnancy works.
Instead of listening to others here that are more knowledgeable, you doubled down and starting accusing others of not reading your comments.
She discovered she was pregnant at 20 weeks. There were no other options besides giving birth and she is a child. The state backed her into a corner.

5·16 hours agoShe didn’t know she was pregnant until she was 20 weeks.
There were no other options besides giving birth.
It took you this long to admit you don’t know after repeatedly telling others they were misunderstanding you?

3·16 hours agoYou keep going on about how she should have had an abortion, but that wasn’t an option for this teenager.









It’s a Canadian recall. Not sure why it’s being attributed to RFK Jr.
