Gregory's Server@RickiTarr I grew up very similarly I think, and this was the same thing that changed my mind. I'd grown up believing the anti-abortion propaganda I was fed (I remember watching a video where a person claiming to be a doctor went into gruesome detail about killing babies as they were born and everything). Once I began reading all these stories of heartbreak from women who wanted their babies & seeing the statistics, it changed my mind. Plus learning the history of abortion-as-a-political-tool.

@RickiTarr Wouldn't it be great to have free healthcare, free school lunches, to fund schools, to help get families out of poverty, to make sure every child has a clean, safe place to sleep and doesn't have to worry about their next meal? That's not even touching that forcing women to give birth is not only dangerous but demands an invasive donation procedure that we'd never ask normally. Even if you were the only person who could save another, you're not forced to donate even a pint of blood.  I grew up when women went to back room "doctors" that used a coat hanger in their vagina to scramble out that pregnancy leaving the vast majority of those women to eventually die. |
@skaeth It was slow for me, but you start to see all the ways Conservatives refuse to support life in any other way and you realize how hypocritical it all is.
