OOOOOHHHH mannnn I have kept quiet about this because I am too tired of having this same convo with tone deaf people but I just cant anymore while seeing all this. So, Abortion in Sri Lanka and legalizing it.Yup.Lets talk shall we? I am just tired of the arguments so countering-

1st, the basic oppositions: It is murder, if we allow this women can go "wild", It is against our religions, it is a western concept and against our culture, women should not be able to make stupid mistakes and get rid of the consequences because it is human life. Okay, lets go-

1st, the basic oppositions: It is murder, if we allow this women can go "wild", It is against our religions, it is a western concept and against our culture, women should not be able to make stupid mistakes and get rid of the consequences because it is human life. Okay, lets go-

Lemme just tell you, the fight for legalizing abortion in SL does not advocate for free choice to abort on a whim. Abortion is asked to be legalized under 3 grounds, 1. rape, 2. incest, 3. Fetuses with lethal abnormalities. Abortion is currently allowed if it is medically proven-

that the mothers life is at risk, but requires the medical consensus by 3 doctors, that abortion is the only option that will save her life.

Countering the idea that it is women who go "wild" and have premarital sex that wants this legalized, Nope. Actually, research shows that more than 90% of those who undergo illegal abortions, are married. Reasons can range mainly based on poverty and the inability to provide.-

abusive partners who do not listen to the woman's choice, or lack of knowledge on use of contraceptives. Now you will come up and say, so have the child and give it up for adoption. Adoption rates in our country are low. So you are basically damning the child to a life of being-

alone, at an orphanage thinking no one loves them, cursing their own existence, or they will remain born into the home where their existence is not wanted, and whatever anger or disdain the parents may have, projected on to the child, till they fall into depression,or develop-

antisocial behavior. Y'all really want that for a child who has no say in being born and what kind of life they want? Sounds hella cruel and not at all thinking about human life to me. Oh and in some private laws, adopted kids do not get any inheritance, or even a family name.

Murder: No, its not that either. Abortion is generally requested to be before 120 days,until then it is just a clump of cells that has no "life" per se (no consciousness,soul etc). No one is really out here killing babies in the womb bro. But hold up, y'all really think its easy-

Let me also tell you, none of the women I have met who chose to abort did so on a whim. They dont find out they are pregnant, chuck the test in the bin and just yeet out of motherhood. The decision is not made overnight. There is so much pain, so much trauma, so much self hate,-

guilt, second guessing that goes into making the choice to terminate the life that we women naturally are conditioned to love.The choice to abort,is one of the most soul crushing and damaging choices most women make. They carry it till their death mostly,not forgiving themselves-

There may be women who are devoid of such emotion,but majority of women who choose abortion,do not do SO on a whim. The baby is inside her y'all, and it is from her body that it will taken out. She is the first person to feel the presence, to know life is in her. IT IS NOT EASY.-

Rape victims and incest- both are the worst crimes that can ever happen to a female, and to make matters worse, they are given a reminder of their abuse and pain to carry around for the rest of their lives, getting pregnant from their abusers. Is that fair? to be violated, and-

then expected to carry the result of that violation, in some jurisdictions, the idea that a raped victim should marry the rapist exist. Do you think that is fair? do you think that is right? rape,incest, leave scars that almost never heal and stops a woman from forming normal-

relationships devoid of damage. and on top of that you want a constant reminder of the abuse growing inside you and you have to face it each day? Tell me if that is right? Is that even humane?

Dont come at me with this doesn't happen here. It does, in fact there are secret homes of pregnant children who give birth to their abusers kids, because they have no access and knowledge about abortion. Children who have been raped by their fathers, uncles,brothers,family who-

are at the mere age of 12/13, with massive tummies they cant even hold up in their childish frame, who might even die giving birth. Do you really think they should not be given the right to abort? Do you really hate the female kind that much?

Lethal abnormalities: if it is proven that the child to be born is going to suffer for the rest of his/her life under a terminal illness, or could die after few days of birth, or live with a fatal deformity that cannot be healed for the rest of their lives, is it fair on the-

child to bring them into such life of intense pain and misery only for them to die,or if they live,one day commit suicide? and as a parent, watch helplessly as they die away knowing you cant do anything about it?do you know what that pain is like? no but you still run that mouth-

personally,i have a problem with how medical consensus is needed to prove the mother could die. To me it says, we do not care about the female body, and it is only when a couple of people tell me that she really is going to die, that she gets to live. if one doctor misdiagnoses-

what will happen to her? Who do you value more then? a human being who has lived and thrived for years, and knows will die, or a clump of cells who doesn't know life yet? This is playing rock,paper,scissors with a woman's life.But when have women mattered here in SL right? -

Religion: Bro. Please. in that light none of us should be having sex out here because premarital sex is a sin. You wanna talk murder? murders happen every single day in this holier than thou country of ours. we have waged wars. some of our histories were built on blood.-

corruption runs deep. people lie, people drink, do drugs, steal, and those are common sins in all the main religions as i know. But when a womans choice is in question, thats when yall are all rEliGioUs? some of yall could be jailed just by looking at your porn history bro.-
