All I know is my mother has aborted only once and it was due to rape/incest from residential school incidents. Every other time she got pregnant it was out of affection with her past lovers, albeit a lot of them. I'm sure you can imagine how many issues she's had being in an abusive upbringing into her adult life. My mom has 6 kids, my siblings and I have 4 different fathers and I was the youngest until my mother had her last child in her early 40's.

All I gotta say is I respect my mothers decisions and admire her beyond understanding for allowing me to develop into a human being before deciding her personal problems were more important than raising a 5th child. My 3 brothers who all have the same dad were lucky to even have survived the time my mother spend with the father and my eldest brother is a hero for calling 911 at the age of 3 to save my mother and his unborn baby brother. Was my mom stable? Did she have reliable income? Could she be bothered to endure 9 more months of grueling pregnancy to an ungrateful child who wouldn't ever meet his father and would undeniably be the black sheep of the family? None of that really matters, my mother worked her ass off as a waitress and did fruit picking in the summer to put clothes on our back to go to school and she even sent us to foster care so she could rehabilitate and fight to get us back. Needless to say, my family is extremely fucked up but of all my siblings, I was the most likely to have ever faced termination while in the womb. My father comes from a family who have a burning hatred for my mothers side of the family and my mom and him never met more than once or bothered to discuss my future.

At this point, a lot of people have already deemed my family a classic example of why abortion needs to be considered in almost any possible scenario. More negative impact was brought than good , but we are a family and we are all raised by a single mother and we look out for one another in a very traditional sense and our hearts are beating for a reason. Because we love each other but more than anything we appreciate the life that only a mother of 6 could provide despite her overwhelming tragedies that haunt her to this day. I've asked my mother if she considered aborting me and it sure as hell was a thought that she kept in the back of her head. My perspective on life is to cherish and respect what comes to us no matter how difficult the path ahead may be, I have always loved life for being beautiful as is. I welcome a grand challenge and because of that I'm pro-life, but I cannot enforce those principles onto others, the only scenario I could see myself fighting this debate is if I were to impregnate a woman that thought it might fuck her life up... case here is simple. I'll take care of you during your 9 months and offer all that I can to keep things civil and raise the child a single father if I have to.

I'm blind to the positive aspects of abortion because I do not believe in denying the miracle that is life, even if we live in a fucked up world. Some day we'll all be in a post-apocalyptic world or on the brink of extinction and everyone will open their eyes to pro-life. That's just an indisputable fact and that is in no way my "Trump card" to start a debate, just my finalized perspective.
