Abortion is about convenience and the ability of men to use women as objects; it's not about healthcare.
It turns out that hardly any abortions are due to a
risk to the life of the mother:
0.3% are due to a threat to the life of the mother
0.01% are due to incest
0.14% are due to rape
1.4% are due to a non-life threatening health issue for the mother
That means that 98%+ of abortions are just women killing their unborn child because they had consensual sex and didn't want to deal with the consequences. Well that's not always true. In fact in many cases women are pressured by the father, "get rid of the kid or I'll walk", or their families, "this baby will wreck your life; kill her". But either way it's not healthcare to kill a child.
Remember that not only does science say that the unborn child is a human being Planned Parenthood does, or did, too.
Here's what embryology textbooks say about when human life begins:
“[The zygote], formed by the union of an oocyte and a sperm, is the beginning of a new human being.”
Keith L. Moore, Before We Are Born: Essentials of Embryology, 7th edition. Philadelphia, PA: Saunders, 2008. p. 2.
“Although life is a continuous process, fertilization… is a critical landmark because, under ordinary circumstances, a new genetically distinct human organism is formed when the chromosomes of the male and female pronuclei blend in the oocyte.”
Ronan O’Rahilly and Fabiola Miller, Human Embryology and Teratology, 3rd edition. New York: Wiley-Liss, 2001. p. 8.
“[All] organisms, however large and complex they might be as full grown, begin life as a single cell. This is true for the human being, for instance, who begins life as a fertilized ovum.”
Dr. Morris Krieger “The Human Reproductive System” p 88 (1969) Sterling Pub. Co
Note that they all agree with what you learned in high school; the life of any organism that belongs to a sexually reproducing species begins when its DNA is formed at the moment of conception.
Interestingly back in the past before Planned Parenthood became the biggest abortionist in America raking in millions every year it
said that abortion was the killing of a human being too:
Which brings us to another key point; abortions hurt women and not just the many women who develop complications.
Whether you believe that woman are designed to be mothers by God or by 4,000,000,000 years of evolution it's obvious that women will do most anything to protect their children. Stories of women lifting up cars to save their child are well known.
But every abortion has the woman go against her most fundamental biological identity. Abortion keeps her child from sending the mothers genes to the future which, if there is no god, is the only objective of a woman's life.
Hence it's not shocking that
studies show that women who kill their own unborn children are likely to develop a variety of mental problems.
A study from the British Journal of Psychiatry showed that women who had an abortion were 81% more likely to have some mental problem than women who didn't have an abortion.
Women who had an abortion were:
34% more likely to develop an anxiety disorder
37% more likely to have depression
110% more likely to misuse alcohol
155% more likely to commit suicide
220% more likely to use marijuana
This is hardly shocking; going against one's fundamental biological identity is going to carry a price tag.
Interestingly pro-aborts dispute this even as they admit to the fact that women of a certain age worry about their biological clock and whether or not they will have a child. Clearly if having a baby wasn't a fundamentally important thing to women we wouldn't hear so often about the ticking clock of thirty year old women.
But why do the societal elites support abortion? Well Hunter Biden gives us a good example. If his stripper mistress had aborted their child then he wouldn't be being forced to pay child support; an obligation that he seems to have been shirking.
The simple reality is that abortion isn't a tool for feminism it's a tool the patriarchy uses to ensure that women can be used as sexual objects rather than loved as people.
To the men who want to exploit women for selfish pleasure the idea of child support is unacceptable but the idea of coercing women into hurting themselves is fine. After all if the man is just using the woman for sex he clearly doesn't care about her as a person so why wouldn't he try to get her to do things that she doesn't want to do, kill her baby, so that he isn't stuck with child support?
Abortion in America is also very racist. Blacks women abort at 3 times the
rate that white women do.
In every other aspect of life the people who argue loudest for abortion say that any disparity in outcome definitively shows racism. Yet when confronted with the huge disparity in abortion rates the pro-abortion community is silent.
One could say one is for abortion but that the fact that Blacks are so much more likely to kill their babies has to be fixed but there are no pro-abortion voices saying that.
Perhaps it's intentional. The superhero of the abortion movement is Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood's founder, Margret Sanger, was a racist who liked Hitler's eugenics policies--though she didn't declare support for the Holocaust. However she did group Blacks in with those she considered to be undesirables and she argued that those "inferior" people shouldn't have many children.
That around 80% of PP "clinics" are in minority neighborhoods speaks a lot as to what PP's real objective is.
The simple truth is that abortion is a monstrously selfish act which hurts all involved; it kills a defenseless child, it wounds the mother, and it hardens the father's heart.
“How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers.”
“I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself.”
“And if we can accept that a mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?”
“It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.”
“We must not be surprised when we hear of murders, of killings, of wars, of hatred. If a mother can kill her own child, what is left but for us to kill each other.”
“By abortion the mother does not learn to love, but kills her own child to solve her problems. And, by abortion, that father is told that he does not have to take any responsibility at all for the child he has brought into the world. The father is likely to put other women to the same trouble. So abortion leads to more abortion.”
“Any country that accepts abortion is the poorest of the poor.”
“Many people are concerned with children of India, with the children of Africa where quite a few die of hunger, and so on. Many people are also concerned about the violence in this great country of the United States. These concerns are very good. But often these same people are not concerned with the millions being killed by the deliberate decision of their own mothers. And this is the greatest destroyer of peace today—abortion which brings people to such blindness.”
“We must remember that life begins at home and we must also remember that the future of humanity passes through the family.”
“Once that living love is destroyed by contraception, abortion follows easily… And abortion, which often follows from contraception, brings a people to be spiritually poor, and that is the worst poverty and the most difficult to overcome.”
