This is kind of the problem the pro-life movement has in America, or how I see it. On one hand you have the Republicans “championing” rights for the unborn but neglecting their mothers and their poverty strictened situations. How can one save an unborn child without saving the mother first?
Are you kidding? The Pro-life conservatives, don’t care about the mother? have you ever looked around to see who is taking care of the mothers? There are more clinics, housing etc for expectant mothers. What does the liberals have to offer a woman who is in a bad situation? Oh that is right abortion.
I strongly dislike the democratic party’s view on abortion, but their social policies are more likely to save the unborn then destory them
Name one policy that they have that will not destroy the child. Or even one that cares about the child.
To me, being Pro-Life is more then just wanting to save the foetus, its about saving the mother. If we give her stronger social supports, better finanical security, if we give free ante-natal, maternity and post-natal care, if we protect her from discrimination in the workplace, if we ensure she can continue her education while pregnant, if we can protect her from abuse from a partner, then we will save the foetus.
And this is exactly what the pro-life movement does. I live in a very small town where we have a home for the mother and her child to stay in rent free for up to two years. And we don’t advocate killing her child as an option, because it never is. Also we give free sonograms for the mothers.
The vaste majority of women aren’t satisfying some blood lust when they seek an abortion, for them they don’t want the death of the foetus, they’re trying to remove what they view as a problem that could interefer with their lives, the baby.
You are right, but places like Planned Parenthood are. And these are places that the liberal Dem are supporting.
The foetus, the baby, these are not the problem. Its the society, the same society that says “abortion is bad”, but allows it anyway. The society that says “pro-choice” but then doesn’t offer any real choice.
agreed
I’ve met so many post abortive women and they don’t tell me they wanted an abortion because they wanted to kill the foetus, they had an abortion because they couldn’t afford another baby, or because they couldn’t get any more time off work, or because they were studying or because their boyfriend demanded it. It might be a “choice”, but it’d be like saying, would you rather be shot or stabbed? Both are **** choices, both lead to harm.
agreed. But the pro-life group offers these post abortive women the help they need. Something the left never does.
Society, and in particular the pro-life movement, needs to put its money where its’ mouth is and provide the woman with what she needs. What kind of society are we that we allow a child to be murdered, that we allow the death of a child, a permenant action for things that we can change? We can change the fiscal assistance we give to women, we can change and strengthen job protection laws, we can make it easier for her to continue her education, we can kick the boyfriend’s backside who abuses her, yet instead of doing the harder things, instead of solving the real problems, we just kill children.
You really need to get off your behind and see what it is we do. Because we do all of this already.
Its societal laziness and greed. And we have 52 million dead children as a result.
If we want to save the foetus/baby, we have to save the mother.
Abortion is murder, it is one of the worst sins immagineable, having an abortion for whatever sad reason does not limit its result, but unless we take away those “reasons” for abortion, we in the pro-life movement are just trying to catch air in a colinder.
