DEBATING THE BEST AGE FOR ABORTIONS

The feminist blog Jezebel never fails to disappoint with vulgarity from its writers, but in February 2013, news editor Erin Gloria Ryan managed to go the extra mile to prove the site hadn’t hit the moral bottom yet. In a piece titled “What’s the Best Age to Have an Abortion,” Ryan took the time to break down each age bracket at which a woman might find herself pregnant. A graphic of tree rings and “time to abort” was used to demonstrate when women should have an abortion.

For women under 18, Ryan describes the option of abortion as, “Well, duh. This one’s a no brainer.” To women 18 to 23, she suggests abortion, but laments young women still on their parents’ health insurance may not be able to hide it from their folks. To women ages 24 to 27, she states, “As a rule, it’s more emotional to abort when you know the guy’s last name,” and that settling down with that “one special guy” instead of sleeping around might make it possible not to want to abort. Inching into the thirties, Ryan suggests women from 30 to 34 have kids if they want them because once 35 to 40 rolls around, abortion is necessary to get rid of the babies with birth defects in order to make life more convenient. Ultimately Ryan concluded the best time for women to have an abortion is at age 25. I guess that’s something for you women to look forward to.
