Support contraceptives, adoption incentives, and childcare for poor mothers then. Or stop acting like you give a **** about abortion.
I'm all pro-choice, but you do realize that "NO" is also a choice. If a woman fails to keep her legs together, murdering her child should not become an alternative "choice". You don't want kids, can't afford kids, want to wait a bit...don't screw around, or use contraception.
Of course saying no is a choice. Congratulations, you just turned having a baby into a punishment for saying yes.
That is correct. You should not be saying "yes" when you know, and understand, the consequences of doing so. Personal responsibility should be clearly explained and consequences of irresponsible choices emphasized. If someone doesn't want a baby, don't f**k around.
So how many years of jail time for an abortion?
Woman wants an abortion, she's welcome to it. I should not be forced to pay for her choice. The taxpayer is not offered a choice about abortion. I have never advocated a lack of safe abortion availability, but it should be at the cost of the person making that choice. There are some cases, incest and rape are the most common, where the choice of abortion might be considered. Should the fathers be permitted a say, no. They certainly didn't consider the responsibility of a child when they "got their nut", did they? Of course, like any other issue, abortion is complicated and many variables exist. Generally, I do not approve of abortion as an alternate to contraception. And I certainly do not believe the parties who are totally uninvolved in both in initiating the pregnancy, nor ending it through abortion, should be charged to finance either.
