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 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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
