When it comes to abortion, I never really thought much about it because I thought it was already settled. Apparently, that has all changed and I am forced to think about this issue. The only thing I can say at this point is, both sides have valid points. But, ethically and morally, I think it's hard to defend the killing of an unborn baby if you believe life starts in the womb. Has science ever determined definitively when life starts?
All the cells are alive even before the moment of conception. But so is a skin tag in one's arm pit. When those cells become a human being is a theological debate. All justices striking down RvW are Catholic, they have the strongest view of any religion that it is at conception and even birth control is sinful. Jewish beliefs vary from 40 days to even at birth, in Islam 120 days is the cutoff.
Imagine how its going to be with Roe V. Wade overturned. Republicans seem to forget this little nugget of information. You just multiplied the # of moochers to ridiculous levels that can't afford all these kids. Get ready for your tax dollars to go through the roof even more with more kiddy caretaking with multiples more having kids they can’t afford
I don't think that poor people are anywhere near the majority in getting abortions.
The Democrats have had every opportunity in "Blue States" to support women who decide to give birth instead of abort.
So what you are really saying is that since most abortions are performed on Women of Color and poor women, the real message from Liberals is that if you are a woman of color or poor is that your baby's life means nothing, so just get rid of it so we don't have to deal with it or you. Compassionate Liberals...
No. Thats what you are saying.
My state allows abortion. Red states that absolutely ban abortion and then work hard to remove any chance the poor kids have to a healthy and productive life are saying those children are worthless.
Abortion has been declining for years. We're going to need these kids as too many young people aren't having kids, trans aren't having kids and many who support abortion don't plan on having kids. I even heard one proabortion protestor say her mom should have aborted her.
