I'm definitely not in support of late term abortion, regardless of circumstances.
I do think as a society we need to think a little further down the road when it comes to this topic. Of all of the women I know who have had abortions, not a single one of them is even remotely fit to be a parent.
Idk. Maybe the whole mass sterilization via vaccination idea isnt so bad 😬
I genuinely would love nothing more than for every child born to be properly loved and protected, for every mother and child to have everything they need to thrive.
Unfortunately, we dont live in a society that is conducive to that.
For me personally, abortion was never something I would even consider.
My eldest child was fathered by an extremely abusive man, who raped me, beat me, imprisoned me. Even still, the idea of killing my baby was never an option. My mother and a handful of family members thought I was insane.
Our lives have been full of struggle and hardship, and there have been moments where I wondered if I made the right choice. Ultimately, I believe I did. And in spite of all of the hardships we have survived. Though the trauma of not having a father is something he is forced to live with his entire life and has had undeniable detrimental effects to his development.
I had some supoort from family, and have a strong constitution and will to survive without which things could have been very bad.
Not everyone has these things. Many women are without familial support, already struggling themselves, not mentally capable of the responsibility of child rearing. It's an incredibly difficult duty and for the most part the existence of community, the proverbial village, does not exist as it once did.
While I do not personally support abortion, I also do not have any answers for a viable alternative and have yet to see anyone on the pro-life side of things offer up any sort of solution or hope for those women who would be made to carry and birth a child.
How many of the children will end up being sold into child trafficking? How many will end up living on the streets? How many will be abused in one form or another? How many will starve? How many will die from lack of medical care?
Culturally this is a much larger issue than simply "pro life" or "pro choice"
This is a symptom of a very sick society that does not value human life beyond empty sentiments and moral outrage.
"Save the children! But once they leave the womb you're on your own!"

I understand this and appreciate the sentiment.
