“Yes, But”: Artist Illustrates Both Sides Of The Same Story (26 New Pics)

Its ok for others to have an opinion differing from our own

@Owen Hulme, I agree wholeheartedly, but I struggle every day to practice this when folks have obviously NOT taken the *necessary extensive time and effort* to gather first hand perspectives from as many sides as possible, and *give them the same respect WE are somehow expected to give THEM*. While I want to be charitable here, I will likely go to my grave with my own opinion that: Anybody NOT acknowledging the nuances/subtleties/conflicts/perspectives of the Other actually has NO RIGHT to even HAVE an opinion just because they are REJECTING HUMAN DIGNITY ... rant warning: THEY CAN SUCK IT, WTAF

Yeah, but people who have opinions that harm or blame others better be damned well sure they can defend said opinions. Personally, most of what I see from the people getting downvoted is flat out victim blaming.

Nope, never take another life. No justification in any circumstances.

Also, according to you, my mother should've aborted me. I was supposed to be born with severe down syndrome and the doctor tried to push my Mom into aborting me by claiming that she'd have to take care of me my whole life and that my quality of life wouldn't be great. If it were you or any other baby-hating liberal, I would've been long dead. But because my Mom believes that any life is worth living and that I should at least get a chance, I'm here today....no down syndrome, with babies of my own now that would've never been born otherwise. The medical field is a numbers game. Doctors don't really know what will happen. They can only warn you of the risks but what actually ends up happening isn't up to them. Do you realize how many times doctors get things wrong? How many misdiagnosis' happen a year, how many times they make claims that never come to pass? I guarantee abortions took place that may not have been needed in the first place. Lives were lost that didn't need to be.

My mom literally would have died if she didn't have a abortion so by your logic my mom should die to bring a child or my brother into the world instead of saving herself a brother I would've hated and not takin care of or anything you're a idiot with a narrow view grow the f**k up and realize people make difficult decisions and do the best they can. And you don't get to police their decisions go be a asshat somewhere else

Found the victim blamer and the person who likes to police women’s bodies.

Just because I have a different opinion on abortion than you, does not mean I am a “baby hating liberal”. But that sentence does tell me lots about you. Name calling. Jumping to concusions… I don’t wish anyone death and am happy for everone defying the odds. But I still would much rather err on the side of caution and NOT see a baby suffer, because I wasn’t brave enough to end their suffering before it even started.

So glad your mum carried you full term. Even if you were Downs, so what? Still a life worth living well and full as people with Downs do. They are the most loving people you can have the privilege to meet and could teach us all so much if only people would stop trying to get rid of them.

@ImagineThat, please read my previous reply to your previous comment

Hon, if the baby won't live long wouldn't that mean you should give it every chance to live for as long as it can? Sure it won't live long, but it will live long enough to feel your love and to hear you say, "I love you." Wouldn't get that chance in abortion.

@ImagineThat, this has merit, but it's shortsighted and self-centered to assume that this is a reasonable, or wise, choice for everybody.

A woman decides to commit murder in response to rape or incest? Dude, you can call it "terminating a pregnancy" all you want. It's straight up murder. What did the baby do that was so wrong? Also I find it incredibly ironic that you care MORE about the woman being able to murder the baby (who is ALSO a victim of the abuse) than you care about her going to see a therapist or counselor straight away. No woman should be making the decision to abort without considering ALL options and without counseling or therapy first. Choosing to end a life isn't some magical "baby be-gone" pill that ends all misery and anguish. Often times it makes people feel far worse. Yet I NEVER see any of you guys caring about the woman AFTER abortion. Have you once considered how many women go through post-partum depression, general depression, and surviviors guilt after an abortion? An abortion is not something you get done and forget about. It sticks with you because that was a human life. You can't forget it.

Wow, what a disgusting comment. How dare you judge a woman for making the horrifically difficult decision to terminate a pregnancy. How dare you police a woman’s body. Who the hell do you think you are. So you think it’s alright for a woman who was raped or a victim of incest and domestic abuse to carry a child to term. God, people like you are the ones that cause woman guilt.

But you can pass judgement on the above comment? Always the same. Shout loudly about being given your rights and then demand others are shut down. Not everyone has to have the same opinion as yiu, you know. Anger, which has pulled your comments, have lost any credibility your argument had.

Every time I see people writing garbage like this I can't understand how they actually believe in this

A magical little thing called religion and believing that women’s bodies should be controlled.

We need to punish the rapist not the baby. And I mean to the full extent of the law. It's sad but Rapists love abortion.

What the hell do you mean "rapists love abortion?" No, rapists love controlling and dominating the bodies of these women.

@LokisLilButterknife, as a man myself, I say: the comment of Bill infuriates me because HE'S PROBABLY A MAN and, like most (perhaps all) of us men, cannot really comprehend the situation. US MEN SHOULDN'T MAKE THESE CHOICES OR HAVE THESE OPINIONS FOR WOMEN... maybe WITH women, but that's another scenario entirely

Can't it be both?

"Rapists love abortion" - citation needed ?

A fetus is not a baby.

That is insanity. Life begins at conception. What on earth do you think a womanh is pregnant with? Kittens, puppies, aliens? Wake up. But of course if you say it isn't a baby you think it will relieve you of guilt. But it won't. You take another's life.

It’s actually cellular life begins at conception. Intelligent life does not begin until much later. Having an abortion before intelligent life begins is akin taking a brain dead person of life support. A fetus does not possess intelligent life so it cannot be considered a human baby. And just for a side note, we have the right to bodily autonomy. One cannot be forced to risk their mental and physical health to donate a kidney, even if it causes somebody’s death. So why would one be forced to carry a baby to term at the risk of their mental and physical health? I understand that this is a sensitive topic so please don’t feel like you have to respond or anything.

@Ruth Harper- And I would add: By the true Scientific Method, this must be assumed true until able to be disproven.

"You are wrong, I am right." Solves every problem, doesn't it ... just say the words and the discussion is over. No need to think, ever again. /sarcasm

Your sarcasm fails to acknowledge that both sides of the issue invoke this...

Yes 👍 or saw someone that had a qr code for their wifi. But the Internet version was a YT link to Mr Rick Roll 😝

Don't let my girlfriend find it
