Actually, it’s a pittance (barely a nickel in a tip jar at a Starbucks) < thanks for that happy visual. I can almost imagine an abortionist standing glumly with a street corner sign: “Will abort your child for spare change.”
which is still much more than that sort of medicine
is worth compared to how obscenely expensive deliveries are. < Women are probably exploited THAT way as well due to their vulnerability. :sad_yes: though in THAT case at least the “obscene expenses” are at least mitigated by the “magnificent value” of delivering a human being, with inestimable potential, into the world. THAT’S where the big money is. Oh that those silly abortionists would go on permanent strike and take only HEALING type jobs for more pay (WHICH would be simple justice).
Where are all the “free childbirth” bills? Why are bills the answer? Government involvement causes as many problems as it solves sometimes. If MONEY is the KEY thing
(it’s not with me actually, but I can speak to the issue) there IS “free childbirth” in many parts of the world. I DO favor more medical help for mothers in labor than just … sympathetic midwives and bare essential assistance.
Expenses need not be racked up astronomically (as they probably are sometimes) … but when they are … it’s often government doing it (or benignly “being taken advantage of”) by the exploiters. IF there’s a new program … and there always IS … maybe it should be more of a quick safety and nurturing thing than a sacred cow gravy train that punishes life givers (parents) as an exercise in social engineering.
Where’s the legislation to help protect maternity leave for mothers who choose life? < There are already maternity leaves in most places. I favor
that. Not so much
endless rounds of bigger and better maternity leaves approved each election cycle as an exercise in self-congratulation for each political session. There’s also millions being spent on abortions and mandatory funding of its “providers”.
Serious double standard here.
I don’t like double standards. Class warfare folk feed on them.
For a more detestable double standard … why is it that there is no room on the planet for “unwanted” unborn children *(who may be killed without a trial, and innocent of any crime - despite absurd rape and incest claims) *… but guilty convicted and violent criminals must be housed, fed and given as much as 40 years of health care … because we are a just and merciful society. < DO this last, and I’m actually OK with the mercy. Abortion? If its not accidental,
(i.e.an unintended side effect of trying to save an endangered mother from a life threatening situation - which I wouldn’t CALL abortion) … Just say NO! :nope:
Thanks for bring up the “double standards” issue randomuser. It’s a factor we should consider always if we are to be prudent vs. a bit rash or myopic.
