A Conversation for Thee Incredible Weirdness of Being
I gotta say something here

Hussassan, you're a nice guy, and you're my friend, but I have something to say, and I hope you'll remember my personality and not take it the wrong way.
Please don't presume to make decisions about my life and my health without walking a mile in my shoes. If I were to be the victim of a sexual assault resulting in a pregnancy, where would I go? I have no money to take care of a child, I can barely take care of myself. What would I do?
What if a man left his pregnant wife, already with two kids? He's a deadbeat dad- doesn't pay the child support he owes already, and she's got two kids to feed and take care of. What would she do?
What if a baby was to be born malformed, with some terrible disorder that would end its life after only a few pain filled months? If you were his father (God forbid), what would you do?
What if your wife is pregnant, and her fetus has turned into a malignant cancer? It happens- it's called choriocarcinoma. The placenta agressively invades the mother's body, and death comes before the baby is even carried to term. What would you do?
In a moral world, things like this wouldn't happen, and neither would abortion. But this isn't a moral world. I don't condone abortion, but I'm not about to make a choice for people when I haven't walked a mile in their shoes.
Thank you for listening.
