I don't feel like they're saying it out of punishment of the ML but knowing that the ML never cared for the Asel. The pregnancy was an accident and from someone who could never reciprocate his feelings. Whether he was unaware he was leading Asel on or not when it came to accepting his feelings he turned them down, in a harsh way I might add. Especially after the rut. No one wants to be in his position. Abortion is a very hard decision and it's easier from an outsiders point of view, especially since this is fiction. But I feel like most people don't say it with malicious intent, based off what we've seen Asel go through.
I don't think most of the people here understand what they are talking about when they call the MC for an abortion. Honestly, I don't know either because I have never had an elective one. I have had a miscarriage, though, and quite literally just had a baby. I feel like I now understand a little more just how horrible that kind of choice is. Like it makes me sick to my stomach to think about having to make that choice.
Saying stuff like, "ABORT BABES" or abort makes it seem like it is so easy when it's not. It is an incredibly heavy choice to make that really burdens the heart. It doesn't matter what value you put on a clump of cells (for me that clump of cells was my baby so losing them was devastating) whether you are like me and put high value or for you a clump of cells is just that, it is still a terrible decision to make. Incredibly difficult, probably more difficult than I can ever imagine. Even if it is all for the right reasons, that has got to be a gut wrenching decision that carries a lot of guilt, shame, and quite frankly, trauma too.
I also feel like a lot of people are saying for MC to have an abortion as a punishment to the ML and not for the benefit for the MC, which is just wrong.
I'm pretty neutral when it comes to abortions. I don't think they should be banned, but I certainly don't think we should be like, "Girlie go get an abortion
