Opinion: I had an abortion. Why is none of your business.

By Elly Lonon May 27 at 5:41 PM Elly Lonon is the author of the graphic novel “Amongst the Liberal Elite: The Road Trip Exploring Societal Inequities Solidified by Trump.”

My social media feeds are filled with the stories of brave souls offering their traumas in sacrifice to the justification for abortion. For many, there is a profound emotional element in the decision to abort. They confess every reason for their decision as if begging for forgiveness. Rape victims. Incest victims. Abuse victims. Unviable fetuses. Potentially fatal complications for either mother or child.

What about those of us who aren’t victims? What about those who simply happened to find ourselves pregnant? Abortion doesn’t have to be motivated by trauma. I am an adult of sound mind and body. My government has decreed me capable of voting, of operating motor vehicles, of purchasing firearms, of paying taxes. Why is this irrational line drawn at body autonomy?For example, as a U.S. citizen, I have the right to refuse lifesaving medical treatment. Unless I give express permission, no one can remove an organ from my body — even to save the life of another person.

Your Entitled and You Are a Victim WE KNOW THAT. You are Not in ANYWAY responsible for anything you do, or anything that happens to you. Everything you want or need is YOUR RIGHT because you were born!! Its not your fault.

Abortion--is Murder!

Maybe woman who are selfish and can’t use self control or birth control should be aborted

You are a murderer

Except if I’m paying planed parenthood... then yes it is my business.

Touching and understandable. Voters, do whatever you wish to your body but, you do not have a right to tell a woman what to do with hers, or what decisions to make when faced with such a dilemma. Forcing people to have kids can lead to neglect, abuse, and criminal behavior.

“Why is none of your business”? C’mon

Opinion circa 1860: “I own slaves. Why it is none of your business.”

Incoherent balderdash. So we should go about killing others for no just cause. My opinion is very simple on abortion, for a tangible medical reason one should be free to procure it, if not its inhumane and must be discouraged.

I can GUARANTEE everybody ... if men were the ones giving birth, NO country in this whole world would even think of making laws regulating abortions. Abortions would be seen what they are, personal decisions! And, where implemented, healthcare would pay! Gladly! Mensworld

Murder. I don't care why.

Idiot!

Hypocritical conservatives and “angry white men” say they want the smallest government possible, but when it comes to womens’ reproductive organs they demand full government control... too bad they can’t think of universal health care for all who are already here, and education!

Abortion is murder! So why excluding rape and the mother’s health. Why do we kill these babies? Why don’t the mother’s have to be responsible for their actions? take responiblityforyou actions!

Want to prevent or end abortion ? Make it more expensive than giving birth Instead of the other way around

Right, spot on.

It kind of is because if you’re just banging and aborting every time you’re a first degree murderer

Instead of wasting your precious time in these activities. ..use this Energy & Dedication to think about. ...How to fight against Smoking, Alcoholism, Drug, PORN, Premarital Sex & Extramarital Affairs How to prevent mass shooting How to create a peaceful World

The government has no business in the bedrooms or reproductive systems of it's people

practice safe sex people.

If people can’t see the irony of that sign, they are twisted, evil, or zombies.

If Premarital Sex is good....means....A day before marriage, if someone slept with other.....is not a cheating.....but next moment of marriage ritual.....This Extramarital affair is bad & Cheating. GROW-UP ..............Premarital Sex & Cheating are not mutually Exclusive.

A teacher can be called as a True & Perfect .. only when he/she is able to convince their students that Smoking, Alcohol, Drug, PORN, Premarital Sex and Extramarital Affairs are very bad habits.....and they should never consider these BAD habits as freedom or symbol of Grown-up.

this literally is the opposite of 'none of your business.' and btw, the 'shame them into silence' is not a new method by the left and guess what? we aren't going to be silent while babies are murdered. sorry for the inconvenience.

Put a rubber on it, Dirtface.😂😂😂

Any unfortunate incidents will appear in front of family, friends, relative and police within 6 weeks Everyone knows about that Pill

You did what you felt was best for you. It is no one else's business. No one should have the right to tell you what you can and cannot do or what is best for you.
