Self Love & Abortion
Abortion is a healthy act of self love. Misogynistic views of motherhood emphasize the profound self-sacrifice that a woman should “naturally” want to perform on behalf of her children. While the impulse to self-sacrifice is a noble and laudable quality in a parent, not everyone needs to choose to be a parent. Moreover, even for those who do choose to parent, absolute and total self-sacrifice is healthy for neither the parent or the children.
As a Daughter of Lilith who observes many of my nieces and cousins pregnant women, I can attest that pregnancy is a journey full of risk, both physical and emotional, that can result in extreme harm. No person should feel guilted or shamed into keeping an unwanted baby — Self-love isn’t selfish! — It is respecting yourself enough to seek what you need to be the person you’re supposed to be. If that includes your enjoyment of eliminating a parasite, so be it.
