I could as well be arguing that 'pro-lifers' are not actually pro-life as they obviously do not give a flying **** about the potential mother's life and free will - as they do not acknowledge her right to do as she wishes with her body and her life. I could actually go as far as to say that I consider them anti-liberty, anti-personal freedom.
What now? Where does that put us? In the midst of yet another tired abortion debate? Let's just swallow the fact we all have different opinions and our differing opinions should have no impact whatsoever on the lives of those that don't share them. If you are anti-abortion, don't have an abortion. If you don't want that 16-year-old living down the road having abortion, offer her to adopt her baby or pay its way through college.
Howgh.
they aren't pro life. they're pro birth.
if they were actually pro life, they'd make sure single mothers had job training and educational programs as well as day care. and they'd make sure that homes were found for children born to girls who aren't ready to be mothers.
but no... it's about divine retribution...
scratch the surface of most of them and you get someone who thinks it's about girls/women "taking responsiblity"... cause, of course two cells is a child...
like an egg is a chicken/
Oh please, all a girl has to do to go on welfare is get pregnant. The state, at least this one, then will help her get her own subsidized apartment, foodstamps, everything she needs. They even provide daycare for single mom's that AREN'T working.
I live two blocks from a highschool, you'd be surprised how many girls are there pushing their kids in strollers. Yep the highschool provides daycare for the kids at OUR expense.
What happened to personal responsibility? Birthcontrol is widely available, even free at public health clinics. There are lists YEARS long of couples that want to adopt babies. There is no excuse for having a baby you can't afford. This isn't the day and age when my mother had her kids and when asked why she had so many said "By the time I figured out what caused it, I was addicted."
Oh, and btw, years ago, I did offer to adopt the unwed 19 year old's children. She lived on welfare and continually said IN FRONT OF THEM, "I ought to give you up for adoption". I said, "Sure, let's start the paperwork."
Another single mother wanted me to take custody of her son and I said "Sure, let's make it legal, we'll be his foster parents". Suddenly she didn't want that because she would have to give up the welfare money she was getting for him. He was still at our house almost all the time anyway, day and night.
And what is this with job training for single mothers? What about the fathers? We already offer job training for the mothers, they go in, and get pregnant again before they finish, don't believe me? Go talk to some nurses or pharmacists. (and yes, I realized this doesn't mean all of them)
Meanwhile we give NOTHING to the unwed fathers except a bill for child support. IMO, we should offer the fathers that same free education and training, after all, they're the one's getting the bills.
Meanwhile, abortion is legal and those who want them are getting them. Some of them again and again and again.....because of course, there are side effects with the pill and they just don't want to take the time for a diaphragm and condom or foam. And heaven forbid they should get the shot which they'd only have to get once a month.
