in a more Perfect World; women would Only get pregnant by Mr. Right, regardless of how much she tries with all of the other ones.
Abortion is tied to economics - always. In the USA, poor women have 80% of abortions of financial reason. Because they can't risk being fired from their jobs, and have no job protections or mandated maternity leave. Most women who have abortions already have one or more children, so losing her endangers her other living children, which have to be her first priority.
Employers can and do fire pregnant women just for being pregnant - and there goes their health insurance, their income, their home. All other first world countries have legislation to protect pregnant workers, and to provide job security for pregnant women.
Countries with universal health care, mandated maternity leaves, and job protections for pregnant women have abortion rates that are half that of the USA. American conservatives only care children in utero. What happens to them after they're born is immaterial.
In other countries, we care about people - living people, and the effect policies have on them. Not in enforcing our version of morality on them. There is no abortion laws in Canada. Abortion is a matter between a woman and her doctor. And it's paid for in full by our healthcare system. It's free to the patient. And yet our abortion rate is half that of the USA.
When poor women have supports and other options which don't endanger their existing children, they'll feel better about adding to their families, too.
You do raise a good point. It used to be that children were seen as a financial asset. You needed children to help work the field and take care of you when you get older, etc.
However, in today's nanny state we look to the state to take care of us, as children become nothing more than a financial burden.
At the end of the day, the root of all evil is the love of money, which is why abortion is king. Those opposed to it face a gauntlet of a billion dollar abortion industry and women who want an easier life financially.
China is an interesting exception. There they have a government mandated one baby policy. That means that they either have a male baby that can continue to family name and help them financially, or they have a girl. As a result, many baby girls are simply aborted or birthed and left to die.
Where is your unbiased, link to factual proof that the main reason women want an abortion is so they can make more money?
Unbiased link? LMAO! There are none. I think what you mean are links with a flaming agenda.
Well there is all kinds of data out there that verifies what I've said. Google is your friend............er............um............you have none in Google really, but not even that liberally run corporation has deleted such data as far as I know............yet.
And in your exhaustive search, if you find data that refutes my assertions, I would like to see them. The more Left wing and crazier the better! It gives me a chuckle.
