That's like saying if you're anti-gun you shouldn't have a voice or decision on gun rights...

So if your anti _____ you shouldn't have a voice? So by your "logic" if you are pro abortion you should have no voice on pro life issues? Do I have that right? WTF lol. How does that even carry any weight as a good argument or viewpoint let alone have 6 up votes?

That thought doesn’t even make sense.

Monilip, her exact point was that there are too many children waiting to get adopted already. Why put a woman through a painful pregnancy and force her to give birth just so you can add even more unwanted children? Go have a look at all the kids starving for love while waiting to get adopted, or being stuck in dysfunctional foster homes, and tell me that's something you would have wanted for your own child. I'm pretty sure it's not.

It's not a "child". It's an undeveloped fetus. Domestic adoptions aren't popular because of varying state laws. These "unwanted babies" end up in the system, not in the arms of loving parents.

Exact same goes for mother's who are forced into having babies that they don't want. It's a risk for the child.

@Linda - and I suggest you go to them all tell them that it would be better if they were aborted. Because unwanted children are bit worthy a life. Or maybe trtto tell that to my adopted brother. He and his wife will laught at this idea that only wanted children disserves to live.

@LittleLife that why you can always put unwanted child for adoption. You don't have to kill it, if you don't want to or can't raise it.

i dont think anyone is killing babies? we're talking about abortion, not infanticide

Soyefox, I had a ectopic pregnancy which almost killed me and I would support any women who had an abortion, for any reason. I know someone who had 4 miscarriages but also had an abortion. There are millions of children world wide which need adopting but not enough people who will or can adopt them. Without adding the millions who get aborted.

Soyefox, I've had miscarriages, I've had an abortion, I have a beautiful 5 year old daughter and ... I'm still pro choice. Each case is individual.

To actually see how lucky you are to kill something and then be patted on the back like you did good

Yeah, the "Pro Life" movement only cares about the fetus. Once the child is out of the womb, they couldn't care less what happens to it, which is f****d up

Prolife are evangelical dupes, they are so mired in racism and stupidity it's laughable. Care about others? Fundamentals give one s**t only: that they themselves are seated next to jesus in heaven. Scumbags.

They discovered that at one camp on the border had 950 people in it. It was intended for housing 125... how is this not wrong??

Never hear any complaining about how many die during the trip to the border either

yes, because all pro life people is American anti-imigrantion people. Grow up and look outside of your corner of world.

We do complain. In fact, conservatives pushed for MORE funding to build facilities and beds at the border to house immigrants, but democrats turned it down. So democrats are the ones that actually refused to provide more and better bedding/housing

I’ve been with my partner for 17 years and have 2 kids. We do not want anymore and I am on contraception. But contraceptions are not 100% effective. So does that mean I should never have sex with my hubby again in case I fall pregnant? Be reasonable that is just not realistic. It is human nature to have intimacy with you partner. Plus if it was only for procreation then why make it feel so damn good as have more nerve endings for sensation in the genital area. 🙄

😆🙄 It’s nothing like running an errand but being pregnant is nothing like running an errand either. How about you try it. Oh wait, you can’t so you have no say in what us women do with our bodies.

I never said what the majority or minority reasons are. Tell me John what do you want to happen once the unwanted child is born? how many unwanted kids have you adopted? You keep going on about choose life, but what are you going to do once the fetus has a chance at life but the parents still won’t or can’t look after it? Please tell me coz I really really want to know.

John Smith, you have never in your life listened to the stories of women who've had abortions.

"You can visit your local Planned Parenthood health center for free or low-cost ultrasounds, whether or not you have insurance" Don't be out here spreading lies

you're wrong--that's what planned parenthood does. "Pro-lifers" shame, condemn, control, humiliate and threaten--like the guy this post is about.

So now we're talking about murdering DNA? That's ludicrous

Soyefox, fetuses are totally dependent on the women who carry them. A fetus cannot and will not survive on it's own. Just like we cant force people to donate organs, even if it would mean savings a life, we cannot force women to do the same by continuing a pregnancy. This is called "bodily autonomy". Look it up.

Stability and love are the most important things to give a child. So if a woman (and maybe her partner too) decides she will not be able to take good care of a child, then it's a reasonable decision not to have a baby. I've seen too many unloved or mistreated children to not be pro-abortion. To me abortion is a pro-life decision too. Simply because of the fact that being born alone doesn't guarantee a child to have a life worth living.

Because believe it or not emotional and financial stability is important. Why have a child if you live in poverty or are homeless and can’t feed or clothe the child, sadly you need money to look after a child. Do you think you can use Monopoly money or buttons. Fact of life. I can’t emotionally cope with having another child and is a risk to my mental health. I already have 2 kids both with disabilities and it is already a daily struggle. I have severe depression and chronic stress, the possibility of me falling pregnant fills me with anxiety and I will not hesitate to have an abortion if my contraception fails. Also there are some women who can’t handle it emotionally due to abusive relationships, rape, illness, deformities, disabilities, and much more.

You might note that you make a mistake here. Another “person” you say. A clump of cells if not yet a person, merely the potential to become one. Most countries with liberal abortion laws will still set the latest point for legal abortions to a few weeks before foetuses could survive when born prematurely (which is typically around the 26th week). And I guess only some extreme feminists will argue that it still is "pro choice" to have an abortion without strong medical indication after that. However, most people with a background in ethics will argue that an embryo, although being a potential human being, is not to be considered a person. If you approach the discussion from this unemotional side, it becomes much more just!
