It's likely that I'm not supposed to be talking about this nor is it a socially acceptable topic so, I've decided I'll do this over the internet because no one wants to talk about it.
So someone I don't know very well (no they don't go to our school nor is it anyone that you probably know,) is pregnant. When my mom told me I asked with a pretty clear idea of what went down, was it planned? The answer was no, as expected. My next question was, 'is the a word out of the question?' to which my mom responded, 'no she's keeping it.' After which I said, 'of course, what with her steady income and stable lifestyle.' Sarcastic comment explanation: Part 2 of my mom's conversation with this young lady's mother was about how she almost was fired for smoking on the job, which she shouldn't be doing because a) its obviously against some rule and b) everyone knows you aren't supposed to smoke when you're preggers. Also by 'her stable lifestyle' I mean that she parties all the time, which is basically the self-explanatory explanation for why she is pregnant.
Now, my point is this that I think she should have an abortion. I mean, how can you seriously think that in nine months you are going to get your shit together enough to be able to support yourself and an extremely needy baby? It's just unrealistic. I mean obviously that would probably be the hardest thing she would ever go through, but she will essentially be ruining her life. Which is what I think about teenagers who keep their unplanned babies. Their lives are over. And you know what? Tough shit. You should've gotten an abortion. Fuck you pro-lifers, Alright? I totally disagree with you. If you take the situation between choosing to 'murder' the fetus and your livelihood, and extrapolate that into a situation where you have to choose between you and some other person living, who are you going to choose? Yourself obviously. Fuck the other person, I want to live. Fuck the fetus, I want to make something of myself rather than my life being a hopeful venture into you being potentially successful. I mean sure, ultimately its your decision whether you get the abortion or not, but I think you need to think REALLY fucking hard about it. Think past 'hmm I think its actually time I had a kid' to how am I going to support this thing? These people who make that decision without thinking deeply about it are being ridiculously optimistic. Yeah! We'll be fine! Everything will work itself out! No. you're fucked. fucked fucked fucked.
I need to stop thinking. When summer comes, if I keep having thoughts that cause me such frustration, I vow to run and sweat it out until I can't move my legs. Immediately following the recovery of my legs, I shall involve myself in a beautiful stupor.
