Women don't get pregnant by themselves. All that pain and ridiculed needs to put on the other person the men.
Better yet let this be her medical decision
Congratulations your a 🤡, the burdens always been on women since the beginning of time.
Exactly! Yet it’s always men outside of clinic yelling at women that their murderers instead of the society teaching men that they have an obligation to women they have sex with. Truly it’s a lack of sex education in schools with proper scientific based information on abortions,pregnancies, and sexual diseases.
Sure, and Men should receive same right to deny financial responsibility for children they do not agree should be carried to term
"I feel like a bad person." Oh, sweet girl 😭 I'm so sorry. Please hold your head up high and proceed with your future! It's going to be bright!!
I wish we could have stopped her.
I think there should be a law where medical certified nurses and doctors who give out false in accurate information on abortion should have their license revoked truly
Same with anyone who doesn’t explain the fact that abortion is the only reason we have a functioning society.
There are already laws that providers have to follow. We take an oath to do right.
Malpractice?
And for pregnancy crisis centers that give false information about abortions and trick women into thinking they are stepping into a real clinic
@@DemonratsRevil So killing an unborn child helps a society function?
having an abortion was still the hardest choice i’ve ever made even though that pregnancy was actually killing me.
i have a condition that treats pregnancy as an infection. i got pregnant with an IUD and using other protection. at 7 weeks i became septic and was rushed to the hospital where i clinically died for two minutes. that pregnancy killed me and it was still a hard decision.
women don’t just stop by a clinic one day.
after this, i clinic defend as often as i can. i work in healthcare and the things that people say out there are usually soo factually incorrect or it’s just religious opinions. it’s so sad.
I felt so sad after hearing your story.But abortion is anyway a murder of a life .I don't know how you take this.
@@truthteller2185 so to you, losing two lives is better than one?
@Truth Teller Yet no scientific evidence supports your claim. So, what makes it ok for you to force someone else to abide by your beliefs?
@@liugr3214 who am i forcing to abide my beliefs?
@@skyfully8031 your (factually wrong) claim of it being murder says it all. The reason there's such an assault on people's right to choose is because people who believe as you do, contrary to scientific facts disputing those beliefs, vote for representatives who make decisions based on those misinformed beliefs. If you think it's murder, don't have one. Imposing that belief on others is not any more acceptable than someone imposing their religious beliefs on you.
I wish our society would help mothers so they won’t say that keeping the baby will ruin their lives.
That's not going to happen, because society can't even help itself.
We're in a suicide and depression epidemic.
The pro life movement is short on providing proper and adequate care for people they convince to keep their pregnancies.
Not every abortion is a choice of the pregnancy carrier, sometimes it is environmental, genetics, especially multi chromosome abnormalities that a fetus doesn't continue... It becomes a miscarriage, so where do they stand on that? There are more miscarriages (if I am not wrong on the statistics of pregnancies that results in miscarriages) than selective abortions.
The pro life movement only shows up when it's selective for medical or personal choices.
i can tell you this right now. Even if I had help a baby would still ruin my life
@TheSpirit AndTheBride what about the next 18+ years?
Abortion is about not wanting to be pregnant. Adoption is about not wanting to be a parent. And besides, adoption is not a replacement for reproductive rights. Just like having a baby and keeping it or having an abortion, putting a baby up for adoption is a choice.
I sometimes wonder if the 'pro-life' women who have already had an abortion hope to find redemption by forcing their own guilt onto other women, as though it somehow washes them clean of what they view as a sin they would rather forget they committed.
Did you notice that they all have ( guilt )
Did you notice something here ?
But to be honest
I think that pro- apportion want everyone to do it so they dont feel the guilt anymore that every one is doing it
@@blackicet2107 On that, I cannot agree. They just want the right to choose for themselves since no-one else can live another's life for them.
Pro life women do not force anyone to have abortions. Where are pro lifers chaining women? Holding up signs to raise awareness on the life inside of a women's womb is not forcing anyone to give birth, you still have the right to choose. And if a woman who aborted a child is outside a clinic protesting she's not doing it for herself, she's out speaking up for the child that will suffer. She has already gone through emotional pain and regret and now is trying to prevent other women from committing the same mistake.
These women are trying to spare others from the same grievous error they made. That's what it is all about. I've known several women like this who had abortions, then became pro-life activists. They are especially effective, because they know the whole sham that's been foisted onto women by the left, convincing them that it's fine to kill your child. They understand the bitter consequences of this lie.
People should not be shamed for making choices that are best for them.
The girl early in this video wants to do what’s best for the son she currently has. There is nothing wrong with that!
There are too many women, especially young black women who are shamed into having children they are not prepared to have.
This does nothing but further the socioeconomic issues that exist in black communities such as low income and father absence.
That girl made a really tough decision for the future of her son and herself
It’s still murder
You know it’s murder or else it wouldn’t be a tough decision so you believe in murder
I don’t agree with you. I do not believe that abortion is equivalent to murder. There are many decisions in life that are tough. It is societies view that makes it tough for many women. It is the same reason some people find it tough to date outside of their race or to “come out” if they are gay. If society labels something as bad - even if you personally have no problem with it - the decision will be tough because you have to deal with the backlash. Evident from this comment thread.
@@awkwardstories This!!! Everything you wrote- you get it. I have never second guessed or felt any regret for the abortion I had. I did, however, suffer so much trauma, heartbreak, and devastation thanks to my then boyfriend (who begged me to not “kill his seed”), and when that didn’t work, he began to threaten and harass me; during and after my abortion, it was HIM and it was my environment, having been born and raised in an ignorant, puritanical, religious, misogynistic, patriarchal society that caused me excruciating, undeserved anguish and suffering. I was afraid to tell anyone.
Plus, my then boyfriend was a black man. Most of the men if my family are racist hillbillies who absolutely loathe to see a white woman with a black man. I was scared shitless, and it was incredibly painful, both physically and psychologically (I developed PTSD after that boyfriend spent several years after, following me, stalking me, browbeating, and harassing me because I chose the best option for my life, my health, my future). I could go on and on, but I suspect you’ll catch my drift.
These anti-woman creepy batshit cultists are incapable of humanizing and empathizing with girls and women. They hate us. This has never been about “babies” or children.” Rather, it has always been about misogyny, organized religion/dogma, controlling and punishing girls and women.
I was 13 and date raped by my 1st boyfriend ever. My father gave me no choice when he noticed that I didn't ask for tampons the next month. He took me to get an abortion, I've never been so greatful for his kindness and support. I am now a mother of a smart kind 22year old woman that I wouldn't have had a chance to have if I had been a mother at 13. I've never regretted that decision, I'm so glad my life wasn't ruined. My daughter deserved a mother with life knowledge, a job, a desperate love for her. I've never felt bad, I know things happened the way that they were supposed to. These people are sadly delusional because of the church and it's lies, manipulation, and abuse.
Historically Young Women are Mothers
pls let's not just view the world with our own pov. the question is can we look at the eyes of the children in the foster and say, "u better off dead?"
i love u and i'm so happy ure happy w ur decisions but not all women had the same repecussions. the thing is abortion is not only the option. adoption exists and there's a lot of women out there who are willing to take care the responsibility of raising the child and i'm one of them who are planning to adopt a baby if i'm already settle soon.
also, the fight is reform for foster system. is abortion helps tge foster system otherwise? no. killed fetus will not make any sense to children who are orphaned/abandoned.
Thank you for sharing your story. A woman should always have the right to prioritize her life, health, future and well-being over unwanted pregnancies.
Tanya: We talkin about money and a babysitter…
Me: U PAYING????
19 and she has no one.....baby u are not a bad person....get that out of your mind. You are a normal person in a difficult circumstance. Making $9/hr supporting 2 kids isn't a great position to be in and I think u are making the best decision u need to make at this point in ur life
Embryo has life and is not a cancer to be part of your body.it has its own DNA and after few months it has Heart ,brain , limps and everything.you are believing in a foolish idea to find excuse to kill your own child .
A better decision would not get pregnant.
@@OmniMale How many times have you been pregnant?
@@iamcasihart you're question makes zero sense.
@@OmniMale Sure she won't forget to not get pregnant next time 🙄
What upsets me is connecting having an abortion to religion. This decision should be for the woman in question to make. Unfortunately there are certain circumstances where women are raped or molested, there are a number of reasons and it's nobody's business!
No it should not. The man should make the decision.
No where in any original religious texts does it say abortion is wrong.
abortion is not religious affiliation. it's a fight against murder of life. pro-lifers obviously fight for a reform, as seen there's legions of runs under pro-life advocates helping and raising patronage for foster home assistance.
my mom is a midwife and she told me abortion was never easy and is harmful. abortion would never appease the truama of women who went through unwanted pregnancies. it's a logic that if abortion is normalized then that means tolerating rape and teenage pregnancy? I believe it was never the FETUS or whatever u called that faults for being formed. They at least deserve to live, it doesn't mean life is not easy, it's not beautiful.
women who opted abortion will never be judged but the things is there are other healthy options, there will ever be and there are people who are willing to help and take the responsibility to rasing the child. I as a pro-life, i'm thinking of adopting someday and funding the foster homes by God's will, that's our fight, not simply the annihilation of embryo or potential human-being. and note that abortion may not kill a "baby" but it eliminates "life".
Pro-choice. Pro- abortion. I don’t like human suffering in people who live and breathe.
This was one of the few really useful pieces I’ve viewed on the subject, insightful and kind-rare on either end of the political spectrum.
Killing your unborn child is never an act of kindness. What this and all videos should be doing is expressing the need for teaching basic Christian morality to children starting from an early age, that sex outside marriage is taboo and grievously immoral. If our media spread that message with the same energy they put forth to condemn even the slightest whiff of what they call racism, the world would be so much better off.
I had an abortion in 2002 I was 18 years old. Nobody in my family knew about it. I do not feel bad my decision.
Neither was Hitler.
@@hibiscussunflower5916 your Grammer is excellent 👌👍.
Sorry to ask this,Did you have any health complications after that?
If you don't feel bad about the decision, can you please explain why you have kept this information to yourself?
@@marthaannrichardson I knew my mother and family would judge me.
Those protesters sounded like zombies bro. 'disgrace to your race' dude what?
That poor baby, the negative speak society puts on her choice. That will lead her to that choice again. She has to recognise she isn't bad for making that difficult choice.
I beg to differ about your opinion on what the reasons behind abortion are and thinking some people are trying to kill off the black people. There are many other reasons why some people especially a woman would choose to have an abortion. And I am one of those women and I am not black, but I still stand firm in my choice for having one and it was the best decision I could have made and to this day I still say that over almost 39 years later. There's always more than one reason for making the choice to have an abortion but you make it sound like there's not. Shame on you.
39 years later and you still remember that choice. No matter the circumstances that decision still resonates with you. 39 years ago?
Tramping around, doing every Man ?
Yes I still remember why I made that choice and even though it was not what I would have preferred in a perfect world but back then at 18 my world was far from perfect and just about as the exact opposite of perfect as anyone could get. Maybe you have been in a very abusive relationship or maybe not but not only was the abuse which contributed to having other health issues and even mental health issues to the point of being hospitalized because of suicidal thoughts and tendancies, depression, anxiety and panic attacks. I can not say that it was totally the other person's fault because I should have left earlier than I did. But no one else knows the choices I had to choose from nor the fear that became a constant daily part of my life back then either. People never know what goes on behind closed doors because usually a Narcissist is so good at playing the part of a good person be female or male because they have been living the lie all or most of their lives but definitely their adult life. When I finally did leave it was because I was either going to die if I stayed or die trying to leave. It was not only about me but my year old son. Which was not the abuser's child. But would have been the father of the one that I didn't have and the one who would have been treated better than my son because it would have been his own child and blood. And before anyone else or you say anything about about getting pregnant so young. The first time I missed one pill on my first pack of birth control and followed the instructions for what you should do when you missed one. The second time the Dr was trying me out on a different kind of birth control and obviously it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure the rest out. My body doesn't do well with pregnancy either but at that time I didn't know that. Like Steve Jobs has said you can piece together the pieces of things in your life by going back through your past not trying to piece it together by looking to the future cause it hasn't happened yet. And I still stand firm in my decision being the right and best decision I could have made considering everything that I had to consider. And with my choice when my time comes to a end in this thing called life I'll have to answer for my choice about it but I prayed many days and nights for an answer to help me with it too. Could be I didn't hear, feel , sense or know what the answer was or for whatever reason I wasn't able to get better clarity on or of an answer who knows but I never did. But to this day I still have regrets of the little life I took not only from it itself but the same one I have left a scar in my own heart with all of the what if's or why it couldn't have been this way instead you or anyone else don't need to worry your pretty little minds about who has put me through hell and back the most over the entire situation because I can promise you and everyone else I've took care of that all by myself and the thoughts in my head are worse and resilient non stop at making me feel like a worthless piece of shit for doing that even though I would have still ended up being a single parent of not one but two had I not made the choice I did living below poverty level based on the statics and my income which would have ultimately taken what some people consider a normal part of life like going to the dentist and many other things from my son who did not have a choice about anything. But I was one of those who made too much money for assistance supposedly but it was not enough to live on for a family of 2 and absolutely not for 3. I am in no way trying to make anyone have pity or any other type of sorrow for my life or anything else about how things were either. With that said let he who is perfect cast the first stone on me. But just remember that you don't have a right to judge me or anyone else either because you don't sit that high and God's not looking for a replacement either. I won't be asked about your sins when you die and you won't have to answer for mine either. There's always more than one answer to a question too but we all came here to learn our own life lessons and how to come from a loving heart and have compassion for others whether we understand where they're coming from or the person they are no matter what they are or going through. I'm not an expert on the Bible or anything like that but I'm pretty sure it says somewhere in it the letters are written in red too if I'm not mistaken and are supposed to be the things that Jesus said himself or from God bring told by Jesus that you would never know what type of person he would come back as so to be mindful of he could possibly come back as a Leper you know the one who has leprosy but of course not doing this day and age it would have to be more aligned with this day and time now. But I do tend to believe that means be careful of those you pass judgement on it could be the one you call your own higher power and whatever you call it. There's several different names a higher power is called in different types of religion, belief systems, rituals or followings for different ancestors, nationality, race, ethnicity or anything else you can call them don't forget to add Buddhism, Hinduism either. I didn't have any other children after my decision either. In my own mind I didn't feel like I had a right to have another one after I ended the life of another one who didn't have a choice about it but I punished myself enough for me and everyone else who could possibly have anything to say about my decision too. I am my own worst enemy I don't need anyone else to help out with that for any and all of the choices and decisions I've ever made because I do own my own shit and admit to making some mistakes along the way but who hasn't made mistakes please stand up and I will call you out for the liar you are. No one is perfect and it is actually an unattainable concept to reach because every time you think you have gotten to being perfect the bar and standards are raised higher. Kinda like the way of being or having an awakening and being enlightened I don't believe that you are ever been finished with being enlightened during this lifetime on Earth now. You could be enlightened but there are so many levels of being enlightened it's not possible to do them all during our lifetime existence of the 3D world we're living in right now during this here and now. It's out of our realm of perspective we don't have the consciousness and awareness of how much bigger picture that concept of the Universe and beyond to allow our minds to process the concept to think of that massive scale of things. Some people still do not believe or understand that we are a spiritual being living a human experience and going through different things to learn for our souls growth and help our souls evolve to have compassion for others because our souls already know how to love unconditionally but choose to come here to learn about different emotions otherwise the soul does not know or understand how emotions feel or affect us. And some will never know about being a spiritual being or the gifts we each have or many of the other great things and abilities we have. We are all teachers and students in someone's life lessons and we all signed up for the things we go through. There's always free will but with that there's cause and effect and consequences for your actions too.

You can't compare slavery with abortion its like comparing apples to oranges completely two different matters.
Slavery is about dehumanising a person and abortion is about dehumanising a baby.
Slave masters believed that they could own slaves because they were not human and just property. Women say the baby is not human just a clump of cells.
"The unborn" are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike orphans, they don't need money, education, or childcare; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. It's almost as if, by being born, they have died to you. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus but actually dislike people who breathe
They make a lot of demands of a woman's body mind finances

There should be no comparison to slavery when you describe pro-choice on the fact that enslaved black women had no choice at all the only choice they had was to work and to breed to bring forth more profit for her master so this notion that people can compare the two is disrespectful to those that suffered through slavery
What about adoption? Life or death? Choose life. I'm adopted.
Amen, these people that talk about abortion so easily, the thought of doing such a thing may haunt them for the rest of their lives. One of our friends died hated her mom for encouraging her to get and abortion when she was young Everytime she see my nephew she uses to say’ if my morher did not encourage me my child would be the same age. She died hating her mothe and she was 70 years old. These things dont go away, i dont care what they say.
Just because you are adopted it doesn't mean adoption is some perfect solution for everyone, you were a lucky one. I know people who were messed up by the foster and care system, it came with trauma and permanent emotional issues and poverty. Maybe if you are so passionate about the sanctity of life, maybe invest more of you advocacy in improving the care system for children and the lives of children in abusive homes and in poverty.
@@paulhackett796 there is truth on both sides, i know people that had an abortion and now are having nightmares, and are in Therapy, did the abortions in they early teens and some cannot have kids. Some blame their parents for the actions their took, not to protect their children but to take shame from their faces, to keep them in their social standards with they high and mighty friends. Now the children are grown up , married and cannot have children of their own because they kill the only eggs they had. Its sad all around. I read in the New York Times last week that 50 thousand babies are aborted every year, 50 thousand. I am glad none was me (Our mom give birth to us and now we are there for her( or my own children, life is bot alway a bed of roses but with God all things can be possible.
Yea you’re adopted but you are also not a poc and it’s harder for children of colored to be adopted or taken care of with love and not treated like a black sheep
We all have the gift of choice but we can never choose our consequences.

I didn’t really see color in this. All I saw were women who thought they had to have an abortion. They do not need an abortion they need love and support
I have a question for the pro life people...what are they doing to support all the homeless and orphaned children already born in this world. I also don't agree with people who use religion as a battering ram for all choices people make that they personally don't agree with, who are the first people to blame God when something bad happens in their lives, they are. God created, God loves and God forgives that's it. If people spent more time self reflecting and less time judging and pointing fingers this world would be a better place. I'm pro choice, if any woman is making this decision, know that it is not an easy or unemotional decision they are making, they beat themselves up enough as it is, just leave them alone, they know what is best for them so please just leave them alone and show them love and support. Religion and law should not mix.
Hello- well to answer your question directed to the pro life people - what are we doing with the orphaned children, I got a chuckle out of your question because here I am at 56 years young and both of my parents passed away and I miss them terribly. Thus, I could qualify for being an old orphaned child! LOL! For almost 16 years, I’ve taken care of hundreds of children as a recess duty teacher. That is one way of taking care of multiple children. They start school around 6-7 years old. There are many things that I do in that job to help the children and keep them safe. It’s a great job. Meanwhile, I’ve had 5 children including a handicapped child that has been hospitalized many times. Once I spent Mother’s Day visiting at the hospital. Me and my husband have done everything to keep him alive for the past 28 years. Also, being pro life can also extend to the animal kingdom. I’ve helped our beautiful male cat survive a type of blockage that required surgery. The Lord gives us all different assignments and opportunities on the earth and we do it with a joyful heart to glorify the Lord. We also hosted a foreigner in our home. So whatever the Lord gives us, we pray that we will have a good account of our lives when our earthly time is done and ready to face the Lord.

If only there was a way to avoid getting pregnant!!!
If only mankind could invent some sort of way!!!!
Wow, the amazing Biblical ignorance of people who would think that God and Jesus would be "pro-choice." Really? Tell that to the God who put the amazing story of the unborn Jesus and unborn John the baptist who engaged in some form of womb-to-womb communication in Luke 1:41-44. So you really think God and Jesus would advocate for the murder of Jesus and John before they were born?
People need to stop speculating about God and Jesus, and start reading their Bibles.
There is no God
Abortion at 17, 19 weeks is too late! The baby is so developed at that point. If you really need an abortion get it in the first trimester.
Didn’t know I was pregnant until 15 weeks wasn’t able to get an appointment until 17 weeks. No regrets.
Hard discussion! I see it from both sides. I’m all for the right to choose but I’m not for the ongoing agenda of wiping out the black community.
“Go and sin no more…..”
Less than 19 weeks pregnant. Oh my goodness! Adoption is better than killing a baby. Hopefully that 20 year old girl will seek help and repentance.
but what if she cant afford a pregnancy
@@hellobot67 than she should not be having sex with men who can’t provide for that child.
It's.just about money and a babysitter.Easy to say if you have that.if that nurse would of had that 1st baby when she was a child would she have achieved all she has in life.
God and Jesus would never be pro choice as stated in this film. I have conversations with a niece I'll never know here on earth, but I hear her voice from Heaven and she tells me one day we will meet Aunt Marie. Don't worry about me. I'm with Jesus. She was aborted in 1982. I'm 76 and every single day I wonder what she would be like. She was my twin sister's baby. We all have the same DNA so it is almost as if I too aborted her. I did not do nearly enough to save her. My sister has never gotten over it either. There is a wrenching 5 page letter to her daughter. The pain and grief never truly goes away.
Some women will change their minds after hearing heart beat of the baby
Miss Betty is like a mother but not a Grandma
Wowww, so emotional 🖤🖤, my heart goes out to anyone having to make a choice and do what’s they believe is the best choice for them. No one should take that away from them. I just can’t get over the black RN 🤦🏾♀️ who was allowed to make that same choice but now wants to take it away from others. I’ll be glad when folks stop trying to take away others freedom to make their own choice with what they want to do with their own body! My body my choice…MY BODY MY CHOICE‼️
Shelinda, You are the only one that I am replying to because you are the first one on the list: Feeling that you have to make a choice that is difficult is actually saying you believe there is a problem and not just a bunch of cells that mean nothing. Do you believe that there is life involved? IF that is what you mean, then, and when you do make THE choice can you ever forget it? Everyone has the right to make decisions good or bad. Do you not believe that if there is possible danger to a life that, at least, another option can be given, a warning? The "My body, my choice, My body, my choice" sounds like an indoctrinated chant that is intended to mislead the 'victims'.

You THINK God chooses to be prochoice? Hmm, not whats written. “Thou shall not kill” sums it up. He is able to forgive as it is written, “if you love me you will obey my commandments.”
Then why does the Bible have a literal potion recipe that will cause an abortion? Jewish law states that the baby doesn't get a soul until quickening, which is usually 20ish weeks, and the make several points about how we only become people when God gives us "the breath of life", meaning when we're born and take our first breath. If Christianity is built upon Judaism, shouldn't they take a few minutes to learn about what that faith says?
The amount of comments you've made on this short video alone, says a lot. You enjoy cherry picking bible quotes in an attempt to justify YOUR beliefs. I'm at a very religious person but I can think of a few Bible quotes just at the top of my head...."thou shall not judge"..." one sin is not greater than the other." The latter suggests that your are not w perfect human being therefore you're right to judge others on their "sins" is nullified. If you don't believe in abortion then don't have one. Simply put mind your business.
I wish I could hug her and advise her and be her friend and say, it's okay. You have to do what is best for you and your son. No one has the right to judge you so don't pay attention to any one else. You get the procedure and pursue your dreams. You do what is best for you and your son and let everything else go. I'm here to be right by your side and I'll hold your hand when your frightened. I write this with tears in my eyes. It's her choice and her life. Everyone else shut up and get out of the way.

I would adopt all these unwanted children if I could. I adopted four of them 25 years ago. They all turned out well. All are employed and productive. Two have autism and are unable to live on their own, but they can work. Those two especially are blessings. They are great caring people. I can't imagine life without them. How tragic it would have been had these great kids been destroyed in the womb before they were born. Choosing life is ALWAYS better than choosing death. Educated determine adoptive parents can turn around pretty much any situation.
Wait… God would be pro-choice? How is it possible to reconcile this thinking with the commandment about not killing?
The murderer deserved to be arrested.

Its taking Black lives point blank period. Its a human being witha future of love , challenges to overcome, of triumph, or hearbreak, living, learning, laughing, loving.
Being a human is hard, being a child is harder, being a parent hardest, but its worth the effort, more people is a good thing, don't let anyone lie and tell you different.
You raise it then. I expect that you have a house full of unwanted adopted black children? Get off your fucking high horse.
You know exactly zero of those things, Alex.
A future is a luxury most of us are no longer afforded.
Being a parent is no longer worth the effort, as effort is rewarded with less compensation with each passing year.
Your children will have less than you do, and their ability to earn will be lower than yours.
They will get to do less overcoming, less loving, living, learning and laughing.
They'll spend most of their life fighting to make ends meet; and it'll all be because of you.
If you really think more people is a good thing, let's move more people into your house and make you pay for them!

The religious zealots really irk me. They speak for this invisible, undetectable God of the Bible. Black people need to wake up and realize that people who claim to know what God said and what God is and what God wants can't possibly know any of that. All religion does is keep ignorant, poor people poor and ignorant.
If you want to know Gods heart for yourself, pick up the Bible and you will see many scriptures that contains his care for the unborn babies. He says He formed us in the womb and He hates hands that she’d innocent blood. The Bible says, Children are a reward and a heritage from the Lord.

It seems ironic that every pro-abortion advocate I ever knew was given opportunity by a pro-life mother.
Every doc I’ve seen treats pregnancy as if it happens spontaneous. Like it happens for no reason but if you want control over your body stop letting it be used as a sperm receptacle. It is a temple & you are loved & worthy. An abortion does not fix the root causes of low self esteem, systemic racism, etc.
“Stop letting it be used as a sperm receptacle”
How is this not shaming women for having sex?? Are the women who want children also just using their bodies as sperm receptacles? Lmfao ur very sad ://
Wow. Or failed birth control, rape and incest, and medical emergencies???? That's the short list of aggravating factors. And most can occur in a marriage. Interesting opinion you have regarding someone else's life and body.
Have our child
More should be done to be responsible enough to prevent getting pregnant and killing children. Once the baby is conceived its too late because you are dealing with a human being. Stop having recreational sex without precautions unless you want to bring a life into the world.
No. I’m going to have as much healthy, joyful, satisfying sex as I choose, and I will NOT be forced to be pregnant, nor will I be shamed for enjoying the act of sex. Stop judging others. Mind your fucking business.

I have personal regrets for my contribution to the approximate 700 - 900 black lives exterminated DAILY. I pray that we all make better choices every step of the way. Black lives definitely matter. Just my 2 cents. Seeing DEMS argue to be able to abort babies at 41 weeks when the mother is dilating blew my whole mind. This wasn't even about a case where the mother's life was in jeopardy. It was argued that if the doctor could make this call to terminate based on the mom's mental health!!! Cmon man, we've gotta do better. 😭
I agree with you.
Embryo has life and is not a cancer to be part of your body.it has its own DNA and after few months it has Heart ,brain , limps and everything.you are believing in a foolish idea to find excuse to kill your own child .
Finally, somebody else who actually knows how detrimental abortion has been to the black community. I hate how they hypocritically shout “Black Lives Matter” but they don’t even care about the most innocent. The black lives in the womb.
I agree but I did have 2 abortions in the 70's I didnt know better. I didnt know the Lord at that time my eyes were blind and my heart. I know now in Gods eyes its wrong and that is all that matters. I didnt have the right to kill those babies but the nursed and Doctors dont dont tell you that.
100 percent true. People don't see it. But we are MISSING 50 million black people.
Tanya is so BEAUTIFUL!!! I love her.
If you think God and Jesus would be “pro-choice”, I would humbly suggest you open the Bible and read “God hates the hands that shed innocent blood.” Proverbs 6:16-19. He hated child sacrifice. If you have had an abortion, God does forgive a contrite heart.

How can something that isn’t alive grow and move around kicking you in the bladder, and in the ribs, etc. I’ve been pregnant four times it’s alive all right! Also if it’s not alive why does it need to have some sort of violent intervention to end it? it's not like the abortionist possesses some sort of magical wand, waves it at the woman, and poof it’s gone. Depending on how far along the pregnancy is they either use drugs to kill it or just rip it limb from limb for the bigger ones.
It’s not murder it’s a collection of pregnancy tissue read a book read a science course or better yet take an education course on child development and maybe you’ll figure it out
@@authenticroots8042 you start of as a clump of cells my dude😭
Married or not, if you’re sexually active, get on birth control. You say you can’t go through with another pregnancy and raise another child? Protect yourself. It is not a difficult concept. Abortions happen largely in part, due to the refusal to take personal responsibility. Plain and simple. Those tears after the abortion are your conscience telling you that you did wrong.
I don't think it's fair to judge women like that. Firstly, birth control don't always work. Secondly, contraception is not always accessible. Thirdly, due to the incompetent education in the US a lot of women don't know enough about contraception and how to protect themselves. Stop blaming women when it's not their fault. It's just the situation they are put in.
Personally, I don't think that abortion is wrong. You can believe that life start at any time, however we cannot give foetuses rights humans don't have. That right being the right to use someone else's body to keep them alive.
@@eleanorshellstrop9059 They are not being “put in a situation.” Let’s not sugarcoat this. The real reason for abortion is that women are being too promiscuous and have unprotected sex. That is their “situation” and they need to take PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for their actions. Strange and unpleasant idea in this day and age, I know.
I have 4 children; a singleton, twins and a singleton. After the twins I became pregnant and had an early ultrasound to see if it was 1 or 2 fetuses. Followed up shortly after with another ultrasound at 12 weeks. My doctor told me then that the baby wasn't growing as it should. The pregnancy was not viable and I had the choice to terminate. Ive had an abortion,its never easy and so I decided to wait for my body to naturally terminate. The night my miscarriage began I began bleeding heavy. It became worse and I was hemorrhaging.. when my husband found me I barely had a pulse. In the emergency room they performed a D&C, it saved my life. With the laws now in place I would have been left to bleed out. People who have never been in others situations should stfu and stay in their lane. OP talks about personal responsibility for the woman. Clueless. I was a married mother with children on birth control. How much more "responsible" can one be? Tears? OP talks about tears after the fact. What about the unwanted child who cries for affection and is beaten in return? What about the tears of a hungry child? What about the tears of the unwanted child left to the state and being raised in the system? SMDH, being personally responsible means recognizing when the choice to bring another human being into this world is the right time. FFS Benjamin Franklin published herbal recipes for abortion. Forced pregnancy is wrong.
@@tperk2042 D&C is not the same an abortion and IS allowed in every single state. I’m in my own lane sweetheart. Perhaps you need to stay in yours?

That’s how you end up with neglected kids who are in and out of foster care.
