"Pro lifers" -please stop using infertile people as part of your agenda

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Unintended pregnant women are not the vessels for the childless

Erm. Like sort of. I think it is collectively societys role to provide homes for children who need homes. Orphans with no suitable family placement and children removed due to abuse who have no suitable family placement. I think currently we're doing an absolute shit job at that. The foster system is broken. But I'm also pro choice so I don't necessarily think that's the solution.

I'm not against adoption and am considering it myself as a possibility for further down the line, I have no intention of doing IVF again! But want to be 100% ready to have another child and be sure that adoption is right for me and my family. When you go through fertility treatment you do think through all the possible outcomes but as an infertile couple we have every right to try to start a family through fertility treatments if we want/are able to, not just go straight to adoption. What I take issue with is the "pro life" movement acting as if adoption is easy. Not everyone going through infertility wants to or is able to magically adopt the perfect child or provide the perfect home. I personally don't want my situation used to try and guilt trip someone who is already going through a difficult decision in to carrying a pregnancy. *To be clear I take issue with a lot of what the "pro life" gang say 😂 this is just my opinion on one aspect

I'm around a lot of pro-lifers regularly, grew up around a bunch of them, and even consider myself one now in some regards (although with some specific caveats because I'm also a feminist and believe that all life is important) ...If it makes you feel any better I've never heard any of these real-life pro-lifers make this argument. I suspect that media outlets might be making this out to be more of a talking point than it actually is.

@Naomi this poll is a response to seeing quite a few on here use the adoption argument...
