In a perfect world, no one would ever get pregnant if they didn’t want to carry a pregnancy to term. No one would ever be raped, contraception would always be available, affordable, and 100% effective. People who WANT to become pregnant would always be able to get pregnant easily, safely, and have affordable, safe, healthy pregnancies with no problems at all.
But until we have a perfect world, access to legal, safe, affordable abortions is VITAL.
Access to abortion is inherently part of protecting people’s bodily autonomy and allowing people to make the best choice for themselves in any given situation.
But if you WANT to help create a perfect world, where unwanted pregnancies don’t exist and all wanted pregnancies go according to plan, here are things that will actually help:
- Fact based comprehensive sex ed
- Easy affordable access to contraceptives and family planning
- Consent education at all levels of education
- Improvements in fertility resources
- Programs to assist with the pre-natal and medical costs of pregnancy
- Guaranteed paid parental leave for both parents
- Affordable child care options
Things that don’t prevent abortion:
- Trying to legally ban abortion
- Shaming people who want to have an abortion for any reason
In a perfect world, there would be no abortion, because we wouldn’t NEED abortion.
