I got banned for saying that abortion is patriarchal oppression and its purpose is to keep women sexually available and to allow men to avoid taking responsibility for the results of their offspring. Abortion doesn't un-rape someone, or un-abuse them. I know too many women traumatised by being forced into abortions by a patriarchal system that says that women who get pregnant must bear all responsibility and must erase their shame. There will be reasons why in certain situations abortion (especially early medical abortion) is the most compassionate option, but I don't think it's something that we should promote or normalise.
