Actually the most incredible thing is how similar the debate is today. The talking points haven't changed in 50 years.

if everybody that is against abortion would adopt a child from our country we would have No children in the Foster system. and wouldn't that be nice.. ... but the truth is most people that are against abortion don't even have a foster child in their house. isn't that sad. they want to save The Unborn but once they're born don't want nothing to do with them isn't that messed up. ..... and a lot of people say it's hard to adopt here in our own country well these people that are against abortion should start fighting to make it easier to adopt in this country and start saving the ones that are born... just because they're born doesn't mean they're saved you might have talk somebody into not getting an abortion and that baby that you thank you saved bye talking it's mother into not having an abortion might be condemned to a horrible existence whether they're shuffled around in the Foster system or beaten and abused by their parents all because somebody thought abortion was bad...

love8 agree. Used to work in a group home and now in a school Their are some good foster care and group homes but sadly their are far to many bad ones that slip through the cracks of the system. Those kids need stability and a home but some will never get it.

@geoffreyk6229 5 жыл бұрын

It is not sad that other families don't adopt children. It is sad that other women get pregnant and go through abortions. Why is it sad??? It is common sense that abortion goes against human nature even if a human is willing to do abortion. This is sad because this is where women come forward and announce they regret their abortion.

how many pro lifers adopt kids, foster kids, or even donate to those programs? or do they only care till the child is born? if a fetus is a life then let me get tax exemptions, child support, or any other things id qualify for as soon as I find out im pregnant

@ethanwashoe5868 2 жыл бұрын

Although I am pro choice your argument is weak, do you need to support a homeless person to think that murdering homeless people is bad? The real question we should ask is when does life begin

Don’t bring it back to us. You shouldn’t be creating life in the first place if your know you can’t handle having a child. Get your balls in a knot or freeze your eggs, don’t baby make if you’re not ready to make a baby. It’s that simple. There’s nothing liberating about having the choice to have an abortion, it’s there for promiscuous women to continue their promiscuity. Rape victims and women who chose to have abortions for life or death situations only consist and have always consisted of a very small percentage of abortions. The majority is regular women with no medical history who want to get abortions because their poor choices lead them to baby making with a poor and inept man child. And no. Just because you have a baby growing inside of you doesn’t give you child support, tax exemptions, etc. and you know why that is? *Your baby has to be born first* That’s the catch. How can a government (evil and selfish in nature, I agree) give you tax exemptions on a person not yet born? How can they extract their finger print? How can they get their name if you haven’t even considered a name? How can they give your baby a SSN if they haven’t even been born yet? Sorry but that argument is weak, you don’t get free things just because you’re pregnant. You use your maternal skills (or lack thereof) and your partner to help you through your pregnancy. You’re not an amputee or handicap so how dare you ask for assistance?

Pregnancy is preventable.

@lavenderwrites2936 3 жыл бұрын

sometimes people can't avoid it and sometimes life happens that's why it should be a choice.

@phillipsalinas4646 2 жыл бұрын

Ya but people don't take the steps to prevent it at all, women don't bother with condoms, dental damn, or even having their tubs tied when they don't plan to have kids anyway. Notice how they only protect abortions rather then fighting to lower prices on products that prevent pregnancy

@givemesomeslack 11 ай бұрын

It's a tough position but it really boils down to one person's right to choose, and that's the human baby. The many choices and rights women claim to own were before the pregnancy, you chose to have sex, you chose to either not use or not use correctly birth control, you're choices are over once you have a human baby growing inside you, it's not your body you want to destroy, it's the babies, as a mother your duty is to choose what's best for the little person. Choose a good father, be a good mother, create a stable life for that baby, many social issues will wither and die if these choices were made with the aim of a more responsible outcome.

If women who hoed around would take the steps to not getting pregnet then they wouldn't have this problem their are plenty of way to prevent child birth but they don't take any of it

@ravencaster8696 5 жыл бұрын

So married people shouldn't have sex? When the condoms fails and so dose birth control what then? And will you adopt just one child to make up for that couple not being able to afford a third unplanned child? Would you have a family of 4 live in poverty not able to feed a new member of the family because you don't believe in abortion? Will you go to their house and feed that child yourself? And what about the alarming number of children that are raped and told or made to have a child? What will you do to help a 12 year old mentally and financially? Or the woman that finds out she will die in child birth and so will the baby; something that can sometimes only be determined after conception? Will you console that woman's mother after she loses her child? People are going to have sex. Yes some woman make mistakes in their lives, but their is a vast majority of woman that are left with little to no choose. There are complications, and health issues in this world. An answer of don't have sex dose not apply to every woman that gets pregnant. Your logic is flawed and you are only considering one aspect of woman having children. In your mind its all about woman getting knocked up for no reason. You don't live their life. You don't know how it happened but your able to sit behind your computer screen and say simply "Don't have sex!" How meany hours do you volunteer helping woman? How meany woman do you counsel? Do your spend your time and money helping the community? If your answer is little to none then you have no ground to stand on.
