I Should Have Been Aborted
I'm trying not to laugh at how stupid the title of this post is and I apologize for not changing it to something better. That being said, if I had been my mother, that's what I would have done.
I was born out of wedlock, not that I think that matters for religious reasons, but for practical reasons it meant I didn't have a biological father in my life. Though my mom eventually grew up, when she had me, she was doing drugs and alcohol and my father was probably worse off with those things than she was.
I could continue this post with general trauma dumping, but that isn't the point. All this stuff happened a long time ago and I have a good relationship with my mother now who is healthy and sober. But it wasn't always like that and though she tried her best, she shouldn't have had me.
When she met my step dad, they had kids and I don't know how much of it was just my mom growing up or having a biological father is really that important, but my siblings had a better upbringing than me. Again, my mom tried, but she was a mess. I don't blame her for this because the truth is, I would have made a worse parent than her by 100,000 times. That's why I would never bring children into this world.
It's more than that though. I don't want to share peoples' personal stuff too much but mental dysfunction runs in my family, drug and alcohol addiction runs in my family, severe allergies run in my family, physical defects, etc. You might have noticed on my front page I describe myself as a "subhuman with a bit of humanity left." Now you see what I mean by that.
I shouldn't have been born. Most likely no one in my family should be having children at all. I understand why they do it anyway and its their life, but... We're not exactly creating a world with less suffering in it by passing our issues down to our children.
I know what you're thinking: that I'm making a case for eugenics and I kind of am, although I think state sponsored eugenics is a horrible idea and having a heavy handed approach is not the way to do it. However, voluntarily giving people the option to "expose their infants" is an ancient and realistic approach to this problem.
Doing abortions instead of exposure is even more humane. I don't understand the problem with it. It's like standing outside the toilet and when people come out, screaming, "SHAME, YOU TOOK A SHIT IN THE TOILET, NOW YOU HAVE TO LIVE WITH THAT SHIT." It's just a thing people are going to do. We shouldn't have to live in piles of shit because of it.
Just flush the shit so we can live better, cleaner lives. Or you know... be mercifully granted a swift and benevolent death. Either or.
