Or it could show the government with their absurd prohibitions and their not caring for already existing children and adults

If an anti abortionist male ever walked out, I would call him a fraud.

There is not a woman alive who doesn't have a scenario, or two, in which they would receive an abortion.

I'm also a woman and again, down vote me all you like but I would never unalive another human because that's what it is if you're actually honest and don't believe all the falsehoods you're told about not being a baby. What is it then? Baby, plain and simple.

There are other options. It's hard to raise a baby alone, but there are govt and private agencies that can help with costs and with mental support. Also, family and friends can help. You can also put the baby up for adoption. There are a lot of women who desperately want a baby, but can't have one. It isn't right to dispose of them like trash just cause it's hard. The embryo is genetically distinct from the mother, so you can't logically say that they're just part of the mother's body. My Mom raised me without my dad. She thought it was worth it. Even when life is hard, where there is life, there is hope that it'll get better. Byw, I have two kids, and one happens to be a newborn. Raising them is rough, even when the dad is there for you and them, but I can say with some authority that it's definitely worth it.

If the man is against abortion, chances are he also has strong family values and is not the type to walk out. I do, however, know several men who didn't want an abortion, and were then forced out of the babies life legally by the mother, only to then to be accused of being deadbeats after desperately fighting in court only for a chance at being able to see their kids and being denied.

Hot take: it's about control, I guarantee you these pro lifers do not care about the unborn fetuses, because once they are born, they immediately forget they even exist and move on to the next poor woman to harass. Almost 2024 and those people are still trying to hold us down like it's the 1800s, even the 1960s again.

They won't do the most common situation, a man pushing her to the abortion clinic. Most commonly men coerce the woman to get an abortion she doesn't want.

Yeah just kill the innocent baby. That's the solution. That will prevent all problems ... Honestly though this meme is almost making it seem like the dude wouldn't be a piece of s**t if the baby was aborted. He's a piece of s**t either way, you shouldn't have to kill a baby to find that out.

An (unborn) fetus is not alive. By your logic, you are commiting murder Everytime you m4sturb4te and it isn't used to fertilize. 😂

Someone better tell the baby in the comic that it doesn't deserve to live because it's parents made irresponsible mistakes 🤷‍♀️.

You victim victim blamer. How dare you ever police a woman’s body and her decision. How you know that a woman wasn’t raped? How do you know that a woman wasn’t a child bride? How do you know that a woman wasn’t a victim of incest. People like you always blame the woman.

I think abortion is a problem in the USA and other Western countries only, here where i live there's no child before marriage, and the child comes when both partners agree to it. Incase of rape, then its permissible i think so

Or show the next panel where the loved child has a chance at life. Unlike many of the commenter’s children.

Gudim shared that drawing wasn't his main job for a long time. He went to a technical university because he was good at math, which is why his drawings might seem very precise and not very emotional.

My friend was doing laundry and tripped while taking a basket of ironed clothes upstairs. I wanted to help but unfortunately all I could do was sit there and just watch it all unfold.

After graduating, Gudim worked as an engineer, changed jobs, and improved in his career. However, he often felt bored and unsatisfied with his life. That's when he realized he wanted to go back to the hobbies he enjoyed as a child but with "a more mature perspective".

Gudim told us that he created "Yes, But" in 2016. It was inspired by thinking about how people handle conflicting things in their lives. "In fact, this format is the destruction of expectations, that is, a fairly standard humorous technique, but the signature 'yes, but' brings all disparate situations under one 'template,' showing how comprehensive it can be."

Constantly observing the world, Gudim notes intriguing or paradoxical moments that become the inspiration for his comics. Regarding his creative space, the artist told us that he finds peace in any calm environment where he can delve into his thoughts and ideas.

I don’t get it? Is it covering the size? Because usually it’s printed on the label as well?
