Hey, I call it like I see it.
I don't want to burden taxpayers with more people who grow up being wards of the state.
If that makes me a piece of shit, fine. At least I try to be consistent.

While I disagree with your reason for favouring abortion, you are spot on with the outcome. 80% of the women getting abortions cite financial reasons for this choice. Fully 3/4 of the women getting abortions live below, or just above the poverty line. The women aren't promisicuous teenagers, they're mostly in their twenties, at the low end of the income scale. More than half are married or in a committed relationship, and the majority already have one or more children.
Rich women will always get abortions. When I was a teenager and abortion was illegal, Sweden was a popular destination for women travelling abroad. Japan was another favourite destination. Anywhere where abortion was legal. These days, I guess it will be Canada, where abortion is considered a medical procedure and there are no laws governing it.
But right wing zealots SWORE they were trying to end all abortions.
Obviously that was a lie
This is just an attack on abortions for poor women. Rich women will always have access to them...and they always HAVE had that
So you're admitting taxpayer money is going towards abortions? LOL
Some does.
When the hyde amendment was passed the republicans didn't have a bunch of crazy people who believed that rape and incest survivors and those who's lives are in jeopardy from the pregnancy or other serious medical condition shouldn't be able to use medicaid dollars to fund abortions. So there are exceptions. Rape, incest and the life of the woman are the normal exceptions. At least with sane non choice people.
Are you saying that a woman should die because her pregnancy went wrong?
Do you realize that there are over 65 thousand ectopic pregnancies in America every year? Are you saying that those on medicaid should just die? Are you saying that a 14 year old child should be forced to carry a pregnancy that's caused by a family member abusing her? Are you saying that it's the rape and incest survivor's fault she was abused and she should carry that pregnancy to term against her will?
If so, I'm so glad you're in the minority in this nation.
Then there's state medicaid dollars. If you live in one of the many states that use state tax dollars to pay for an abortion then you pay for abortions with your state tax dollars.
Why do you want to kill women?
