Daily Deviation

Given 2010-08-22
Abortion by ~Amelee This piece caught my eye way back when it was first submitted and becoming a GM has given me the chance to revisit it. Whatever your view on the issue expressed in this Deviation the idea and the concept is bound to take over for even a second as you view this very poignant and powerful message.

Ugh. I thought this was a site for deviants, not brain-washed conservatives.

I think this photo is weak. It's not a well-made photograph, it looks like some teenage angsty photo experiment. And to tack on the incredibly loaded word 'Abortion' as the title without any explanation as to what a teenage tossing a doll in the air has to do with the termination of a fetus seems to be simply to grab attention and make the piece seem conceptual. It's a cheap move for a bad piece of art.

I think people find this somewhat amusing because it seems so ridiculous. No person in their right mind would literally chuck a baby aside so casually; that's why it's kinda funny.

Though this view of abortion is somewhat, how do I say this, from a specific perspective. Another perspective is that of the frightened mother's. At times, like previous comments have read, it's very hard to decide whether to give the baby up or not. You don't want to be yelled at and called a whore, slut, or some other swear word that hurts, but you also don't want to be called cruel, heartless, "worse than Hitler", etc. which can hurt just as badly.

From a raped woman's perspective, how would they feel about the baby itself? They could think of it as a "parasite" that the rapist planted inside of her. Despite the fact that the baby did nothing, it still seems like a harmful mark left behind.

Just try to consider all perspectives; its hard, but abortion is a very touchy subject.

Oh, and if anyone says "well don't get raped then!" You, sir or madam, are an idiot.

I keep hearing a lot of people saying that it is the women's own fault for getting pregnant. They should have practiced safe sex, they should have waited until after marriage, ect. They assume that all pregnant mothers are foolish teens who threw themselves at every passing stranger and refused to practice safe sex or use birth control. The reality is, you have no idea who these women are, so it's easy to call them every swearword in the book. What if it was you? You'd keep the baby? Ok, that's your choice, and I support you.

What if it was your best friend? Your little sister? Would you sentence her to hell because she made a mistake? She forgot to take the pill one time, or she didn't stand up to a pushy boyfriend? Would you force her to keep the child, even if it posed a risk to her health? It is dangerous for any teenager to go through pregnancy and labor, because their bodies are not yet fully developed.

So please, please, think before you write a hateful comment. If you honestly still think it’s wrong, should be illegal, it’s murder, ect: please, go ahead and talk about it. That’s your right! However, writing a ten-word comment with poor grammar and plenty of accusations doesn’t help you get your point across at all.

~~~Now, about the art! I love it, from the way her arm is positioned to her dress. She almost looks like she's going to a funeral, which I find very interesting. Every time I look at this, I see her expression differently, I have no idea why. Sometimes she looks like she's cold and uncaring, other times I see a lot of sadness and emotion in her face. It's a wonderful piece!

And they called Hilter evil. Anyway all evil people have to start from somewhere and use an excuse to call EVIL good.
Now it is a fetus is not really a living thing it only becomes one if you don't abort(Kill) it.
Tomorrow it would be, well my 5 year old son is giving me headache. I brought him into this world so let me use the kitchen knife and take him out. It would be called a POST-BIRTH ABORTION.
It is your right to play God, I suppose.
As long as your parents didn't abort you, you should have the right to abort their grand kid.
I guess if they make killing Jews legal again you would go for it.

Much love & God bless.
