I would hate to be the first person to disagree but if all of you want to pay to educate, feed and raise these unwanted children please do so.
I don’t need to prove that an unwanted child is less likely to have the equal opportunities of a planned child, nor do I need to prove that these children are more likely to be criminals and thus being (in your eyes) condemned to eternal suffering after death.
So continue to try in vain to strip a women of her right to choose, but the least you could do is try to empathize with this choice because i doubt it’s a very easy one. Also, since you’re all so messianic take on the responsibility of raising these children correctly yourselves.
I mean no offense, but I am tired of people criticizing these women. You call them whores, but I am sure that the majority of you have never faced the terrible reality of unwanted pregnancy (especially without the proper funding or lifestyle.) Therefore, what are you gaining from this mindless protest?
I mean no offence either. And no, I have not adopted any children. But I know many who have and more that would love the chance.
Let’s face it. The cost of the unwanted pregnancy isn’t the cost of the pregnancy is it? It’s the cost of raising the baby. Adoption works well in this case. Many potential parents would gladly pay for the pre-natal care to ensure they get a good healthy baby. And these people can generally afford to ensure the kid gets a good education. They care and would gladly give the child the love it needs. So it isn’t about the cost now is it? There’s more adoptive parents out there than babies. That’s why we have to import them to the states.
I use to be a right-to-choose person. And yes, I know much about unwanted pregnancies. So I’ve said all the same stuff. Repeated the same stale arguments. I know what it feels like to be pro-choice and be commited to it. What about a rape victim? What about a baby that is handicapped? What about a woman that already has too many kids? What about the over populated world? What about the unmarried woman that had her BC fail her? What about the prom queen that didn’t take precautions? Lots of good questions here. The only person we forgot to have concern about is the baby, itself…
Pregnancy generally isn’t a life threatening event. Less than abortions, anyway. Abortion isn’t about pain and anguish for the pregnant woman. 99+% of the time it’s about the selfishness of the pregnant woman. She doesn’t want the embarassment. She doesn’t want the trouble. She doesn’t want the expense. She only wanted the fun of sex, not the natural result.
For some reason our culture has turned the natural order of things upside down, and many take the bait! We’re told about the poor woman. About the adverse impact on society. About how much better off society would be without the unborn. How a good sex life should be free from any natural consequences… and it’s all a lie.
We are bombarded with the lies everyday. “Sex is harmless fun as long as it’s safe.” There is no such thing as 100% safe sex. Sex isn’t just entertainment! Sex is serious stuff meant for serious relationships. Culture today treats natural fertility as a disease, something that needs to be “cured” with a pill. A woman becomes “free” to have sex whenever and with whomever she pleases without worry of becoming pregnant… unless of course the birth control method fails. Then she discovers the “mistake.” She tells her boyfriend. He dumps her. She’s no longer “free.” She has this obligation growing inside of her. No. The “mistake” has to be fixed! Then she takes the option of a nice “safe” abortion. “Fixes” everything… but it doesn’t. That was a lie, too. The woman isn’t free. She still can’t find love. And she wonders about what might have been.
Babies are no more disposable than you are. And dispite our dissagreement on this, you are not disposable. Disposable people are slaves. Destined to be used, abused and thrown away. You and people like you think that some human somewhere should be allowed to make that judgement about the life or death of a baby. We think not. All people should be given the right to live or no one has that right. We do not have the right to define ANY class of people to be disposable.
We’ll give you your fringe cases that amount to less than 1% that might “justify” an abortion if you give the other 99% of the babies a chance to become the next great scientist, Nobel winner, Teacher of the year, cancer cure inventor, and the list goes on and on.
Face it. It’s not the money that drives women to abortion, it’s the inconvenience of pregnancy.
It IS all about perspective. About what we want to believe. And we are free to believe it. But we do need to examine both sides. If you take the stand that freedom from inconvenience takes precidence over the rights of the unborn, then you are a true pro-choicer. I just can buy that lie anymore.
