For some of us, the safety of the mother is largely immaterial. In my mind the eradication of abortion (with minimal exceptions) is about forcing people to deal with the consequences of bad/poor decisions as much as anything else. Making the alternative to carry th the baby to term more dangerous works just fine for me.
It's forcing problems on society for no reason other than a 16th Century mentality of "shit, we're human and fragile and we might die out if we allow abortion".
7 billion people on this planet now. We don't need to be worrying about dying out from deadly diseases. We need to worry about dying out for ridiculous human actions now.
Too many people is our issue, not too few.
What about the millions who never put themselves in that position? Pregnancy is 100% preventable.
Yes it is. Does it matter?
Does it matter if this fetus becomes a fully grown human being or not?
If you're religious you might say yes. You're thinking in terms of souls.
If you're more practical then you're thinking in terms of what is sustainable for the planet. We have too many people already, so if a woman chooses not to get pregnant, then it's okay.
500 years ago the issues were different.
Of course we don't have too many people for the planet. The birthrate in the civilized world is dropping like a stone helped along by male infertility. What we have too many of is savages. How do we reduce the number of savages and keep them in their shithole countries. Then we can make parks where the barrios and slums used to be.
China just got rid of the one child policy. Even with the one child policy their birthrate was increasing.
List of countries by population growth rate - Wikipedia
According to this, 28 countries have negative population growth. (UN figures)
These include Andorra, population 77,000,
Lithuania pop. 2.8 million
Georgia
Latvia
St. Helena (Not even a country, some Islands in the middle of nowhere)
The biggest two are Spain and Japan. Spain, like Andorra, like other countries on this list, are there because the people are leaving the country because of the bad economy.
The US has a population growth of 0.75
India 1.26
China 0.52 (and rising because of the two child policy).
There you have the three most populated countries in the world all increasing, while Andorra is the weight on the other side.
The World has an increase of 1.18 a year.
Yes indeed
Warning Bell for Developed Countries: Declining Birth Rates
I do support abortion - for liberals. Liberal women should all have abortions and conservative women get restraining orders to keep liberals away from their large families.
