Because that would be consistent with the principle of your post (your post that Goodnight was replying to).

You don't like your pocketbook being tugged at by needy kids. That effects you personally.

Abortion = fewer needy kids tugging at your money.

Outlawing abortion = more needy kids tugging at your money.

Being someone who seems to care about the demands on his money, why are you against something that results in less tugging at your money?

Someone tugging at your money has a personal effect upon you. The only personal effect someone else getting an abortion has upon you is requiring less of your money over time.

No, it isn't.

You just isn't one that you like.

I’m also guessing you are ok with drug addicts, prostitutes, and young teens who have no income becoming parents since it’s another question you avoid. One shouldn’t tell others what to do if you don’t follow your own advice
No, as head scratching as it is, that poster is a woman.

You want to punish the woman, even though her getting an abortion would have no personal effect upon you.

That poster is a man.

Privilege-that is why one must pass a test, unlike rights which we were all born with.

How many newborns do you know with a drivers license?
Yes, born with.

Fetuses haven't been born.

What is head scratching about it? Take a look at polls. The divide is across both genders.

As expected by anyone rational, neither gender, nor ethnic demographics, feature 100% of any subset of the population with the same point of view.

https://news.gallup.com/poll/244709/...ic-tables.aspx

Now, that being said, I have faith our wonderful SCOTUS will decide simply by analyzing the merits of the case against the Constitution as originally written, w/o adding their interpretation into the equation. Polls will not matter, nor should they. It is a legal issue-federal jurisdiction vs state's rights.

It will be interesting to see how many opinions are written on the decision, and whether the original Roe v Wade decision is actually addressed in the Jones decision to come.

And we've been without a draft almost as long as we've had the Roe v. Wade decision. There's only a five day difference.
"We no longer have a draft."

BUT, we COULD if it was required and it would be legal, so what is your point?
