One day a few months ago, a co-worker told me she saw my posts regarding abortion, on Facebook. I asked her what she thought about the posts; she then admitted she doesn't read them. I didn't press, it's inappropriate to get into political issues at work, it is at my job anyway.
On another occasion, my sister asked "Where do you find all those articles you post on Facebook?" I told her I got them from social media, like Twitter and Facebook. Then I asked her if she read any of them. She did! So, I asked her if she shared them. Her answer surprised me. "How do you share them?" Yep, it was pretty funny. She did start sharing them after that, maybe not all of them, but hey, it's a start.
The truth is, abortion is a very difficult issue to discuss, so a lot of people avoid it. We just don't know how the other person(s) will respond, so we don't bring it up. Many people get angry, if you suggest taking away a woman's right to choose. We are here to remind them that choosing abortion, is choosing to kill a developing human.
Here are some facts about abortion in the US you should know:
- Women who have never married and are not cohabiting account for 45% of all abortions
- Twenty-two percent of all pregnancies (excluding miscarriages) end in abortion
- Forty-six percent of women who have abortions had not used a contraceptive method during the month they became pregnant.
Did you know over 1.2 million abortions are performed annually in the United States alone? 38.2% of abortions are performed at 9-10 weeks or greater. In other words, almost a half a million human fetuses are killed, at or beyond this stage in pregnancy.
