I can understand how a young girl may not be ready to raise a child; however, putting the child up for adoption is an alternative that is not a death sentence. Also, pregnancy is a temporary condition.Never understood why a woman would not want to raise her child and choose abortion. Not much of a womanI have never understood why a man would not want to support his offspring. Must not be that much of a man.
I guess you're forgetting about all of those "orphanages" that existed prior to Roe v. Wade where all those babies grew up waiting for a "forever" home.
Maybe if you assholes who think that ever sperm is precious would vote for universal health care, maternity leave, vacations, a living wage, and all of the other things that families have available in every other first world country except the USA, things that put the "values" in "family values", then your abortion rate amongst poor women would decline as well.
No one thinks every sperm is precious. Stop believing propaganda pounded into your head by leftist media sources.
You most certainly do. Every anti-choicer does. It's the ONLY possible reason for wanting to ban late term abortions. Fully 1/3 of all pregnancies end in miscarriage, but you ignore these facts. Religious nuts claim God opposes abortion, all Biblical evidence to the contrary.
The "late term abortions" you decry as "infanticide" are medically necessary. These aren't frivolous teenagers who changed their minds about having a baby. These are women who never believed they'd be in this position, being forced to make an awful decision. Women who were looking forward to having a baby and are now going through the worst nightmare of their lives. And there you judgemental fools are, lying about them, calling them "murderers" and worse.
The anti-choicers are not "pro-life", they're "pro-birth", as a means of controlling women's sexuality. They (falsely) believe that access to birth control and abortion drives a "wanton" lifestyle, all of which ignores the very real driving forces behind America's abortion numbers - poverty, and lack of access to worker protections for pregnant women, lack of health care for the working poor, and high poverty numbers.
