before the stage where she has to have an abortion, but I think there's a stigma about abortion that needs to be removed. Too many people, even pro-choice people, look at abortion as some sort of a taboo. That needs to end.
Most of the time these fetuses are removed at a stage when hardly anyone would call them human. One friend of mine told me that she saw the fetus that was removed when she had an abortion, and it was about the size of the last joint of her little finger. It was just a little blob, not anything near being a person. Except in cases where a fetus is removed in last several weeks of a pregnancy, it's similar to fetuses of other animals. A woman might as well be having a blood clot removed.
The guilt that some women have over getting an abortion is ridiculous, and it's totally because they've been taught by society and religion that it's immoral. Sex is bad, therefore you must take your punishment for having sex and carry that 'baby' to term. Having an abortion is like escaping God's wrath. It's breaking the rules. This is all a bunch of bullshit and it needs to end.
Friends of women who have abortions should be supportive and reassure them. Women who don't want to be pregnant shouldn't have to be, and they shouldn't feel a bit of guilt about having that fetus removed, no more than having a corn removed or anything else that can be problematic down the line. We have enough people already. In fact, we can't even take care of all the people we have. Americans need to think about their views about abortion; they need to think about why they have negative attitudes about it and where those attitudes come from. It's totally absurd.
