envelope's Journal: choice

This is my fetus defense post.
I support a woman's right to choose. To choose not to have sex. To choose to use birth control. To choose to take reponsibility for her actions.
The fetus is not just a thing, it is a living, growing human. It has a brain that functions, a heart that beats. It is its own person. No, it can't live outside the mother, but it depends on the mother to take care of it. Just as a newborn infant does.
An abortion is a cop-out. It is taking a life because you are scared or weak. It is just as if you killed your elderly grandmother who was living with you and depending on you for support, because you wanted to do something else with your time.
Take responsiblity, people. If you choose to have sex, you must accept the consequences.
