Does she ever shut up though?
It's a little after 9am and I'm exhausted reading that. Can't imagine how much she sucks the soul out of people in real life.
The way she says "I wish us women were made to understand..." just doesn't sit right with me. It takes two to tango, why should all the responsibility and blame fall on the woman or the person that can get pregnant? (I'm not even going to go into her quite exclusive, binary language when she talks about pregnancy and abortion, we've all established her stance on that...) It's such a sexist statement and I bet she would excuse it with "but bIoLoGiCaLLY it's the woman's responsibility."
Also when she says that she didn't have the option of an abortion because she was "young and broke and with no support system" yeah no
tit, that's what pro-choice people are fighting for. So another 19-year-old has that option without feeling guilt, without having to expose themselves to friends and family who might be like Melanie (because you bet she judges people who have had abortions). By her account she wasn't ready to be a mother at 19 yet she was fully prepared to go for it, despite the bigger ramifications that would have had for her own life and for the life of her child.
Finally, the comparison to cigarettes and to the lockdown is so tone deaf and irrelevant. Cigarettes aren't banned because they're part of people's "right to choose"; they're not banned because they're part of a multi-billion industry. How does abortion compare to that? I'm not going to get into the lockdown analogy, we've analyzed how dumb that is to death..
