      Abortion is a horrible medical procedure when you think about it. But guess what:

      • we are horrible people that make it necessary.

      • so is amputation, but its much better than the alternative.

        Abortion is a horrible medical procedure when you think about it.

        Abortion could be a horrible medical procedure in rare cases, but in the vast majority It’s not. Nobody is aborting viable fetuses that are able to live on their own, except in very extreme cases where both the mother and the child are going to die. The vast majority of abortions involve a pill and a clump of cells.

        we are horrible people that make it necessary

        Abortions save lives. Many of the cases of abortion involve women who would die without one. Nature is the only horrible thing that makes it necessary.

        Abortions also keep unwanted children from being born, which many would argue is a worse fate than being aborted. This one can be blamed mostly on the horrible state of the world, and the carelessness of people.

        Also in many cases it’s not a medical procedure at all - the morning after pill is a thing, for example
