The Truth about the Abortion Pill
Planned Parenthood’s latest annual report covering its “services” for the 2022–2023 fiscal year should be eye-opening for many.The largest abortion chain in the U.S. received nearly 700 million of our tax dollars.It co...
There is a big difference between taking something to bring on your period, say if you are two weeks late, than having a fetus flushed out of your womb, just my opinion. Women have used herbs to do this. What I cannot wrap my head around is why, in 2024, there are "unwanted" pregnancies, unless it is rape, of course, and then i would have no problem if a woman reports the rape right after it happens, is taken to an emergency room, given a pill, and a shot of penicillin for an std. I do see mothers who have no business raising children, the kids end up in foster care, or worse if she is allowed to keep them. It's a mess out there. I guess I am old fashioned, but the best way to not get pregnant is to not have intercourse unless you know your birth control works. But people do it as casually as going out for a drink, and the pregnancy, if it happens, is just as casually terminated like she was pulling out a splinter. What happened to human beings? Between my birth in 1950 and now, it is an alien world out there. No wonder I am happiest at home.
Our tax dollars! 💰🤬
I wonder what the cost would be to tax payers if all of these women actually had the babies...
What kind of women are getting abortions? What kind of children would they raise? How would people who are anti-abortion treat those women and their children? Who would care for them? Offer post partum support? Child care? Housing?
Do we care for children and mothers? Or do we only care about unborn fetuses?
There is a major disconnect amongst the anti-abortion crowd. People seem to forget that most of the women seeking abortions are alone, scared, unable to imagine a world in which they can provide a child with a healthy life. For most, it's not an easy decision and many are plagued with guilt and sadness for years afterwards.
If we want women to stop having abortions, then we need to create a world in which those women and their children are supported.
I always hate this very predictable reply. It’s gotten old. Obviously I can’t speak for everyone who is anti-abortion but the folks I know who don’t support abortion don’t want women who don’t want babies to have babies. We want men and women to stop engaging in reckless behavior that results in their getting pregnant with babies they don’t want. It’s really not rocket science. Stop promoting random sex like it’s just another recreational activity. Start taking these decisions seriously. And if you must engage in sec but know you don’t want a baby, make sure you aren’t creating a baby. As a woman who waited 38 years to have children I can tell you that there are reliable ways to make sure you do not get pregnant.
Ah yes... the very predictable reply of "we should have compassion for mothers and children" and "we need to create a society that supports families and offers a sense of community"
So played out, ammiright??? /s
... I, too am an adult woman who has had children. I'm well aware of all of the various ways not to get pregnant, and yet somehow I STILL manage to have compassion for the circumstances that young women face.
This is a breakdown on a very basic societal level. Why do young women believe their only value is in their sexuality? Why do young people not know the value of chastity and marriage? Why are so many young men and women left without role models? Why are young people bombarded all day every day with sexualized advertising, media, and pornogrpahy? Why is there no longer supportive community and mentorship that our youth can rely on to help them grow into responsible adults?
THIS is why there so many unwanted pregnancies. Taking away abortion access is not solving the problem, in any way. The evil controllers at the top of the food chain have very deliberately planned this and created the conditions we find ourselves in currently. Unfortunately, they're also VERY good at pitting us against one another and further dividing the people and eliminating our very humanity by promoting "othering" of anyone who isn't just like, or may have fallen prey to a particular psy-op that we personally managed to escape (of course we all fall for some of them...)
Nothing will be fixed until we reclaim our sense of humanity and hold our fellow humans in compassion and understanding. Only then will be be able to defeat the evil agenda.
Otherwise, we're simply shouting into a void.
Agreed. They've pushed this propaganda on everyone. Everyone is a victim to the propaganda that has existed most of our lives.
Please explain why you believe that everyone needs to "Support" women who get pregnant and their children. Why is that my responsibility?
How about we start holding people responsible for their actions and holding the fathers of the children accountable too?
This BS democrat attitude that everyone who is a responsible person needs to take care of all the irresponsible and give them a pass on their stupid irresponsible behavior. Yes, let's give them free housing and food and pay their bills and give them free medical care. Enough is enough. Where the hell do you think the money for their "care" comes from?
I've already explained myself in other replies. Feel free to read there if you actually wish to understand what I'm trying to say.
Unfortunately it sounds like you've taken to the exact mentality the ones in control want you to have. Separation. Othering. Judgment. Getting played like a pawn in their game. Hating who they want you to hate.
Oh no. I understand what you are trying to say but you are tap dancing around saying it clearly.
You're the one pushing the welfare state idea of everyone else, all of society, taking care of the irresponsible women who have babies outside of wedlock and for some unknown reason are not able to support themselves or their children. It's a hard lesson to learn but until we stop with the welfare state mentality or as you want to refer to it "our sense of humanity and hold our fellow humans in compassion and understanding" nothing will change.
You sound like a Democrat shill trying to guilt everyone who has said enough is enough by saying it's society's problem. Stop trying to say this is a "psy-op", it's not and it doesn't make you look like you know what you are talking about.
It's time to own up to the fact that people like you encourage the irresponsible to continue to refuse to take responsibility for their actions, or live with the consequences and you want to force everyone else to be responsible and take care of society's problem children. No amount of compassion and understanding is going to change their behavior.
The fact that you think that me saying that we need to revive a sense of community and support for young mothers and families = welfare state makes this entire conversation moot.
I'm not even going to read the entirety of your comment bc you 100% missed the point of mine and are obviously a waste of my time
I agree that there are a lot of considerations that need to be evaluated for the woman and their baby's lifetime security.
The foster care system is broken and not always the best decision. There are a lot of couples that are having difficulties in having a child but how do you ensure that the child will be placed in a good home and not abused?
My biggest concern is that for a lot of women it seems to be a form of birth control when there are other options to prevent pregnancy rather than having to face going through an abortion.
I have known some women that had an abortion and they do live with guilt and depression.
Yes I have definitely known women that have used it as birth control. I would support something where if a woman has had more than 2 abortions she is sterilized. Haha... i know that wouldn't go over well.
Most women I know though have lived with guilt and shame for decades after having an abortion.
Tha fostercare system, like you said, is broken and many children in foster care end up abused (sexually and otherwise) and once they are 18 left with nothing.
Adoption can be a good route for those who will have support during the pregnancy, but for many women if they had that kind of support they would probably just keep the child.
I think we have to acknowledge that in addition to the breakdown of traditional family values, we've lost a larger sense of community that's also vital for humans to really thrive. Many marriages would likely stay together if the couple/family had a larger support network.
I think this breakdown in societal values and support systems has been a great contributor to the rise in addiction, abuse, promiscuity, as well the reason why young people are so eager to "identify" as something (major driver for the LGBT crowd, kids just looking for a place to belong)
When individuals are valued and supported by their communities they make much better and more sound choices all around.
There is a half-dozen ways to prevent pregnancy. These same clinics aborting babies also offer free birth control pills and condoms. And for those that cannot take BC pills can be fitted with an IUD or see if they can tolerate Depo Provera injections once a month. If they know they don't want to have children, tubal ligation is the best option. Abstinence is still the best way to prevent pregnancy.
Most abortions performed are for convenience because all parties involved just couldn't be bothered with birth control to begin with. Fortunately, (I guess) those are the ones aborting within the first trimester.
There are many people who are waiting to adopt a newborn.
People need to stop guilting others for their bad decisions. Every single woman who has a child has to determine how to raise their children and how they will provide for them. Most states have many programs to help mothers and their children with childcare, food, medical care, etc.
I do agree they are plagued by guilt, but the number of women having more than one abortion is outrageous. Perhaps the law should be mandatory sterilization for anyone receiving a subsequent abortion. But that would of course, cut into the profits made by PP.
I could get on board for the mandatory sterilization after multiple abortions.
And yes, there are plenty of ways to prevent pregnancy to begin with.
None the less, I think if we focused more on creating supportive systems for pregnant and new mothers and their children, we would see way less abortion and within a generation or two likely a shift back towards more traditional family values.
