The New Abortion Bill in Georgia
by Sabrina Bello My body, my choice. How can a MAN make decisions about a woman’s body? How can you get sent to jail for not wanting a baby? There are a plethora of reasons to abort a baby; Let’s just name a few. Rape, Too young, Not capable of taking care of a child, Mentally ill, Incest Not ready to have one, Not financially able, It’s a woman’s right, Too old (could be born with defects), HIV positive, just don’t want one... There are so many reasons why this bill is a violation of our rights The bill states if a doctor can detect a heartbeat (at 6 weeks) they are not legally allowed to abort it Most women don’t even know they are pregnant until after 6 weeks! How can a woman be forced to have a baby she does not want… who does it benefit? Let’s make bills about the foster care system first because if you force women to have babies they do not want than the foster care system will overflow, just like adoption agencies. Eff men. Men do not have vaginas, therefore they do not get a say OR opinion. Giving life is a beautiful amazing thing, but if you do not want to do it that is OKAY. You’re not killing a human if they are still in your uterus.. How can a fetus be a human when at about 6 weeks they look like a peanut? Pro-choice: Everyone has a choice, everyone has rights. You do not have a say in regards to someone else’s body… ever. At 6 weeks a ‘baby’ is just a collection of human cells; if they want to make it illegal, Then amputating a limb is murder.
