Just to be clear...

Like many, I was ambivalent about abortion throghout my college years, and like most, I'd made up my mind by the end of said years. I know the debate from both sides, but - and this is no way to win an argument - I'm forever creeped out by the arguments pro-abortion people make. They fetishize and ethicize the ending of human life, and that's rather creepy. A widely circulated piece regarding the same:

We all frequently experience ambivalence when faced with a deep and life-changing crossroads in our lives, and the choice of an abortion is an example of that. Women can feel initial sadness, but simultaneously know what she needs to do, that the abortion is the absolute best choice, and ultimately feel resolution, peace, and pride. In fact, many women do feel goodness, empowerment, increased self-esteem, and pride in the wisdom and the awareness that they took control of a frequently chaotic situation - unwanted pregnancy - and made a moral and ethical decision that was beneficial for their lives, their futures, and, ultimately, was also good for society.
