This is a picture of my aunt’s facebook status, posted a few hours ago.

This is what I want to use to illustrate that abortion is not some spur of the moment idea. It’s a tough, well-thought over choice. I’m tired of all these anti-choicers telling me that my aunt and women like her are cold-blooded, murdering sluts who decide abortion is no big deal.

My aunt’s unborn child was discovered to have a serious (and would-be fatal) deformity when she had an amniocentesis at 4.5 months. Rather than allow her child to be born only to suffer and die, my aunt chose to abort. Plenty of people in our family stopped contact with her afterwards.

I completely respect my aunt’s choice. All women, regardless of their circumstances, should be respected in making decisions about their own bodies.

If you’re “mature” enough to have sex, you’re mature enough to deliver the baby you’ll possibly create, abortion isn’t an option.

if you’re “mature” enough to own a gun, you’re mature enough to die from being fucking shot. medical care isn’t an option.

This is Gisella Perl, a  a successful Jewish gynaecologist in Sighet, Romania in the 1930s and 40s. She was taken to Auschwitz in 1944, where she treated women with kindness and compassion. She was asked to report all pregnant women to Josef Mengele- better known as the Angel of Death. When she discovered what was done to them (medical experimentation and torture, ending with often being thrown alive into the crematoriums) she vowed that there would never again be a pregnant woman in Aschwitz. So she began the abortions. 

In her time in Aschwitz, Dr. Perl performed over 3,000 abortions in spite of her professional and religious beliefs as a doctor and an observant Jew. Any babies born alive in Aschwitz were usually drowned, despite Mengele’s orders to allow them to starve to death. Because of Dr. Perl’s brave actions in performing these abortions, many women made it out of Aschwitz alive, able to go on and have families after the war. 

Although she was vilified by many for her actions, there is no doubt that she is not the monster abortionists are made out to be. This woman, this doctor, this abortionist was a hero. Despite her personal beliefs, she understood what had to be done. If you click the photo, you can go to a more extensive biography of her- she was a true hero.  

THAT’S SO SAD but goodness…if it was the only way…

I am personally pro-choice and I advocate legal abortion, but I think a lot of people think being pro-life is being anti-choice. I don’t think there is anything wrong with being pro-life as long as you respect people who are pro-choice. The same with people who are pro-choice.

This debate should have been over almost half a century ago with Roe v. Wade.

You know, this is what I think every time someone gives that whole “what if Jesus had been aborted”, “what if you had been aborted”, argument. “What if Hitler had been aborted motherfucker? Huh? Huh? Fuck you.” 

^ Thank you.
