I despise the argument against abortion claiming that contraception makes it obsolete. [View all]

Because it is still moralizing abortion. It's still making the argument that abortion should become nonexistent if contraception is totally accessible.

That's bullshit. If a woman has complete access to birth control, chooses not to use it, becomes pregnant, doesn't use Plan B and then has an abortion, it's none of your fucking business. It's not your concern. It's not your place to tell her that she chose the non-ideal option because idealizing contraception and abortion is a moralization. Abortion is a medical procedure and nothing more. The only issue that should matter is whether or not it might compromise the health of the woman seeking the treatment. Any other consideration is an undue imposition of moral belief.

People need to stop justifying their semi latent anti-choice views in liberal circles. It pisses me the hell off.
