It’s a possibility I didn’t consider and something we should keep in mind before judging others. But, that said, I have certainly seen some women choosing and trying to get pregnant even though they don’t have custody of their other children. They want to be moms but they are not able to appropriately care for a child.

Or proper sex education in school, plus access to contraception.

So many women are coerced into becoming or staying pregnant, or cannot access abortion services for other reasons. Jumping to judgement is unfair and unnecessary kicking downwards. Rage against the system and the lack of education and support services instead of picking on the nost vulnerable people.

I was going to say then use birth control, but realized in some places that’s just as difficult to get as an abortion, and there are circumstances where, even if they had birth control, there could be someone sabotaging it, taking it away from them, etc, etc, etc. However, I think what OP means are the women who keep having babies they can’t support, often just to increase the amount of government support they receive for them, or for nothing more than attention. Many lose custody, which is where the baby’s grandparents might step in, and if not them, the foster care system. I mean, remember Octomom? She’s a prime example of attention seeker. When she had those eight babies, she already had six other kids at home—-her parents’ home, btw. She wasn’t thinking like a responsible adult, and might still not be if she hasn’t had therapy, which I sure hope she has had, or is still having.

abortion is not a means of birth control

Or contraception. Or secs education. And there’s a people who like to be pregnant, like the idea of it all or like newborns that make them feel loved & validated and needed, but have little interest in actual parenting.

Abstinence in the first place? I don't want to be rude at all, but that is a viable option

That is what birth control and condoms are for.

That's while multiple forms of birth control and the morning after pill exist. At a certain point, you don't get to make excuses....and that point is when you've already produced a child that someone else is caring for and still manage to get pregnant again before that kid is out of diapers.

They shouldn't even be pregnant in the first place

maybe they don’t want to murder their child?

There's two other options: grow up or give the baby up for adoption. But both require responsibility.

There is always access (at least in America) to condoms and bc pills...

Stop trying to make it seem like it’s not what it is. She got pregnant and wanted to be a teen. KIDS SHOULD NOT HAVE KIDS. PERIOD. Keep Abortion Legal and in cases like this a REQUIREMENT

Maybe keep their legs closed so that abortion is not needed. Or better yet, let someone adopt!

That's disgusting

*sigh. The human race. Acting like the animals we are. It's a shame.

Rape rape rape rape rape rape rape.

The ones who need the birth control are the less likely to use it. Takes self-awareness, responsibility, and just plain common sense. The majority don't have this.
