And you worked so hard on your response..Blacks are doing exactly what conservatives are urging them to do
Don't have children you can't support.
If conservatives would stop bitching about supporting black children of unwed mothers....the number of abortions would be unnecessary
what the hell are you talking about?
Don't see conservatives lining up to support black children...do you?
This is a question pro-aborts endlessly badger pro-lifers with: âIf you so badly want babies to be born, how many are you willing to adopt?â They hope that by casting pro-lifers as somehow not doing enough to give âunwantedâ children a home, they can divert attention away from the deaths theyâre responsible for and guilt a few of us into shutting up. If that reminds you of a child snapping, âIf you love it so much, why donât you marry it?,â thatâs because the challenge is about as sophisticated.
Sorry, but moral high ground doesnât come that cheaply, the primary reason being that it doesnât change the tiny details of a) whoâs making children they donât want in the first place, and b) whoâs actually killing them and perpetuating that killing. Can anyone think of any other scenario where âI should be able to harm someone unless you aid me in some wayâ would be taken even remotely seriously as moral reasoning? If I forbid somebody from stealing my neighborâs car, am I therefore obligated to let the would-be thief borrow my own?
Of course not. Itâs preposterous. Again, pro-aborts are (intentionally) confusing the difference between abstaining from harm and going out of oneâs way to do good. Our obligation to the former doesnât necessarily entail the latter. And just because Person A wonât help Person B, it doesnât give Person C a license to kill Person B. So even if this objection were to reveal that pro-lifers are somehow negligent in this area, it wouldnât legitimize legal abortion.
Itâs certainly true that all people, pro-lifers included, should do their part to find abandoned children homes, including adopting them themselves when they can. But, at the risk of ruining a perfectly good narrative by asking the obvious question, how do pro-aborts know we already arenât? Do they have any reason other than malice to suggest that pro-life Americans arenât adopting at a perfectly respectable rate compared to the rest of the population? Heck, how do we know pro-lifers arenât adopting more than our âchoiceâ-minded brethren? (After all, conservatives and religious Americans are more charitable in other ways.)
Personally, Iâm not aware of adoption data to either effect, so if any of our critics can prove theyâve got facts behind the smears, step right up. It is, however, worth noting that even when pro-lifers do exactly what pro-aborts chastise us for allegedly not doing, it doesnât make them hate us any less â just ask Rep. Michele Bachmann.
Besides, moving on from the macro to the individual level, itâs awfully presumptuous to assume whether the circumstances of a strangerâs personal life â yes, even a pro-lifer â are conducive to providing an orphaned child a good home, whether due to the number of children one already has (conservatives tend to have more kids than liberals), making too little to handle adoptionâs steep price tag, being unmarried and therefore unable to provide a two-parent home, or simply because one isnât good with kids.
Lastly, regardless of how many pro-lifers are personally adopting, the fact is that weâve more than stepped up to support adoption â just take a look at Students for Lifeâs rundown of adoption activism and groups, and compare it to Planned Parenthoodâs own abortion-to-adoption ratio (fun fact: the United States actually has more crisis pregnancy centers than Planned Parenthood clinics).
Another day, another shabby excuse for mass slaughter dispatched. Itâs a sad commentary on our culture that there remain any venues where you can be taken seriously badgering someone to take care of a strangerâs child while cherishing the childâs own motherâs right to kill him or her.
Any other dumb statement RightWingNut?
Doesn't negate Conservative outrage at the idea of supporting the children of unmarried black women
Can we get another personal responsibility lecture?
When you take away the ability to raise a child, abortion becomes an inviting option
Sensible sterilization sounds like a plan! You want abortion, the first one, ALTHOUGH we hate it, is a go, as the SCOTUS, in their fucked up judgment has made it the law of the land, BUT you want an abortion, you get STERILIZED at the same time.... both sides can play that game.... Glad to see you appreciated my response, It's been saved for the next one of you immoral twats that state the same shit!
Mandatory sterilization
Now we are talk'n conservative!
