Anyone who thinks itβs dark times because they canβt abort their babies needs his or her head examined. The dark times comes from the fact that these people donβt have an issue with abortion and think they should be entitled to it. Assholes.

It's weird how ppl around here are so libertarian, anarchist even and against all state coersion... until it comes to abortion.
Because it's murder, plain and simple. Being anarchist isn't the same as being pro murder of innocents.
To me, having sovereignty over my own body is an absolute prerequisite to freedom.
I'd be a short-sighted hypocrite if I rejected the same four women. One solution to avoiding abortions could be forced castration for some category of men to prevent unwanted pregnancies in the first place... E.g. any man unable to provide for a baby caught having sex gets a forced vasectomy. It will prevent abortions, so will you support such a rule?
Abortions are horrible and I personally don't know any woman who would light heartedly go for one. If nothing else, they are a risk to their health and can seriously impact future pregnancies and the ability to have kids. I am all for supporting women to make abortions a much less likely choice (education, money, housing, whatever), but I remain against banning them.
If sovereignty over one's body is a prerequisite for freedom, then why is the baby's body and life being violated something that is unimportant? Abortions terminate a life with its own body that is temporarily inside a woman's body for its own debt, after 9 months the baby exits. So I ask again, why is the baby's right to life, sovereignty over his/her body never considered and seen as something that should be violated?
Because it is not sovereign and never has been - it is entirely dependent on the mother until birth.
It's a fact of life that anything or anyone who is entirely dependent and cannot exist independently is necessarily at the mercy of whatever they depend on.
So to you it makes sense to kill a baby because of dependency on the mother for a limited time and I am the one who is for the violation of freedom?
You cannot violate the freedom of an unborn fetus, because it never had it to start with; what is more, it is not capable of being independent or free.
You can, however, use the baby killer argument to violate human freedoms, just like the granny killer argument not so long ago.
Bodily sovereignty is untouchable and that's a hill I'm willing to die on. Anything else is a slippery slope into dystopia and it's sure to backfire with negative net results for both mothers and babies.
Take away abortion rights and there will be women who will choose to take their own life and the one of the baby instead of live with the pain of bringing forth a rapist's baby for example.
Kids are not calves raised for meat. They should only be born to parents who want them and will do their best to provide them with the love and care that they deserve. That is not a task for nine months, it is a task for most of an adult's life.
