Sure, anyone who disagrees with you is “uneducated.” You sound like an elitist snob right now. Remember the saying: Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach.

I don’t own a car, and next time you drive by a real, genuine housing project with real honest to god “poor people,” take a gander in the parking lot at all those late model German and Japanese cars parked there with all the trimmings. Then look at the people hanging around and notice all the creature comforts. Look up at the windows and realize that in every room there’s a 55” TV on the wall, even in the kids bedrooms. The kids you don’t see are all in there playing Halo with their VR goggles and talking smack into the little microphone. Your world view comes from a text book. You need to get outside and witness reality.

This ain’t The Grapes of Wrath no more.

1. Abortion isn’t banned.
2. Violence, abuse, and poverty already exist.
3. If the left is worried about violence, abuse, and poverty, they should try not perpetuating the myth that POCs are born to be endless victims.

Sounds like an excellent reason to use contraceptives.

Poor people catch a greyhound bus or train out of state every single day. Stop insulting their intelligence.

If criminals can go out of state to get their handguns, women can go out of state to find an abortion.

As a former social worker I can tell you that NO one wants someone else’s messed up toddler that finally goes up for adoption. I quit a long time ago because I couldn’t stand seeing physically, mentally and sexually abused children. It’s sickening.


Newborns can only be adopted from Russia, China and Africa?

I know,it is really to bad that these homeless women were not aborted, along with all the rioters who burn and loot. Then there would be only good and decent people on this earth.

I know people who waited years to adopt, because they could not have children. They are so happy, their chils was not aborted......beautiful children.

For those truly interested in getting an abortion, there are a wide variety of choices in charities that help assist women to get one including travel arrangements and cost assistance.

For those interested in the cause, I am sure the charities would appreciate a donation.

Where are you getting the notion that birth control will be banished?

I know, these pro-abortionists keep making more and more lame excuses don't they? If they can afford an abortion surely they can afford a bus or plane ticket or a trip in a car to get an abortion in a state that allows it.

My co-worker gave me his arguments why he would ban abortion, that women need to keep their legs shut and we need to go back to old school values. I respect his opinion I just don't see it being practical in 2022.

I don't think people should be thrown in prison for going to different states to get abortions. If we are going to restore traditional values, it's going to take a level of authoritarianism that would have to basically be a total collapse and rebuild, like the left wants to do except done by the puritan right.

I don't believe either side should get the chance to "build back better" their so called utopian society. Better we learn to respect our differences and move forward.

This is a good link that looks at the statistical breakdown of who gets abortions and why.
