Ok? Still prochoice.

Keep in mind that if any of this is true, it's still only true if the baby is viable to bring to term and won't kill the mother without an abortion. If the fetus is already dead and leading to an infection, or many other things that could happen, bringing the thing to term ain't gonna help shit.
72Yeah people grossly underestimate the dangers of bearing a child, even a healthy one.

You also have a decreased risk of ovarian cancer if you completely remove your fallopian tubes, and it doesn't require an 18.75 year financial, emotional, medical, and time investment to gain.
52Its longer than that these days. I was out for a bit in my 20s but in my 30s I had to move back because there is no realistic way to live in my own house and all I have to show for my work history is back pain, meniscal tear, poor vision, constant migraines, deteriorated mental capabilities and social skills, probably other crap, debt.
9I'm also like that. I only have a job thanks to Hungary's ultra-bullshit public employment program, which pays half the minimum wage for a full time job, because otherwise I would go to the pub drinking.
I have multiple disabilities, with the most severe of them caused by the very medication I'm taking to treat one of them (anti-seizure med side effects are so bad I'm thinking of quitting it, if I die then I die), and only one of them are eliglible for a mere 10% cut of my taxes, if I could prove it to a very strict board which was implemented due to the "welfare queen" myth.

The voice of reason is too often ignored.

You are also significantly less likely to die from a gunshot if you've never owned a gun.
But hey, statistics only matter if they support your already held views, right?
40Meanwhile these dodos are against stem cell research. 🤦♂️
33You gotta earn your stem cells the old fashioned way!

Those parasites from Futurama are better...
11I mean, totally. Please gimme.

And if you keep the thing around for another 18 years it'll be able to buy you a beer, but only if it hasn't already eaten you out of house and home, or shot up its middle school, or outlived you by 18 years after you died of postpartum hemorrhage. The whole topic is ridiculous.
10You actually have to keep it around 21 years until they can buy a beer in the US.
3True, although a preschooler can fetch you one from the fridge.

Compared to healthy microbes in human guts, that’s nothing. But when we take antibiotics, we kill those microbes. I guess it is immoral to take antibiotics then.
7Gut microbes are people too! They deserve full citizenship! Many are multicellular and have a circulatory system like a ❤️ beat. That means they deserve full citizenship status.

I've heard something about women that felt like they'd became dumb after having a baby and their overall mental capabilities became permanently worse. I can't imagine going through all the suffering just to suffer more and bring a new life into a present and future of also suffering.
6This makes sense to me because my mum is a fucking imbecile

"Carried to term"? 😂 Yeah, I'm sure that's required
4It kinda is, because the reduced risk they're referring to is due to fewer menstrual cycles (while carrying the pregnancy). But you can get the same benefit from hormonal birth control
8I was mainly thinking about the second half of the post about babies' stem cells. The research was done on the blood of pregnant women.
2No, this has little to do with fewer menstrual cycles. They're talking about something completely different.
