Congratulations, Democrats and other social Libertarians.

Number of Abortions in US & Worldwide - Number of abortions since 1973
What might have become of an incremental 56 million children born to people who either did not want or were unable to care for them?

It's a non issue for a majority of people, not just Democrats, because it's the law.

It's seems a tad inconsistent to label this as Republican vs. Democrat issue given many Republicans want to end social welfare, yesterday. How does 56 million incremental children and no social welfare compute?

When the pro-life folk start adopting these babies, I'll give it more thought.

Who cares?
Any interest at all in the women who were pregnant and didn't want to be?

Or is the woman of no concern?
No need to answer, that was rhetorical.

I love it when people are like "I am a libertarian and government should stay out of our lives, but when it comes to women, the government should have full control over their bodies."

Actually I would say that "God" (if you believe in that stuff) is really the greatest annihilator of all, since roughly 1/3 of all pregnancies end naturally in miscarriage. Why does no one think of THOSE poor lil babies?

Too bad, so sad.
The USSC disagrees with you, a woman's right to choose is the law of the land.

When you get pregnant, get back with us.
Until then, what does your opinion matter?

I agree, but the Cons sure love to send our kids to war.
