You dont want to add an unwanted child to world overpopulation.
I would get a tubal litigation if it didn't cause more side effects than a vasectomy and the fact that most doctors won't do it on a young person. I'm sorry but I just can't reconsider abortion. I can't. There's plenty of evidence to prove that they're living in the womb. In fact, in 18-25 days after conception, the child's heart begins beating. I can't do it. And in all honesty, I disagree with the overpopulation notion. However, I do think that there are too many abandoned children as it is to bring any more into the world.

If you hate babies, why would you care if a fetus gets aborted?

I'm childfree, but I don't hate babies -- I just don't want them. As a Christian, I believe all human life is sacred, and I don't think it's right to kill a baby for convenience when adoption is a perfectly good option.

I do think overpopulation is a huge problem, but contraception is a much better option than abortion.

I don't hate babies. They can be blessings, but they're not something that I would be qualified to take care of.

I guess my point of view is different since I hate babies. That's one of the reasons I'm never having kids. There's also the financial reason and the fact that I don't want to raise kids.

I agree.

You hate babies so much that you want them dead? I'll admit, I can't stand to be around babies or small children. I go grocery shopping at midnight to avoid being around little kids. I avoid places where there are likely to be children. I don't like babies or children at all -- but they're still innocent human beings. I don't want them to die.

If anything, putting the baby up for adoption shows that you are there for them. It shows that you want what's best for the baby.
I dont think I ever advocated keeping a baby you dont want or cant afford. I have nothing against adoption.
But thinking you can pick up a parent child relationship later on after placing a child up for adoption is not something to bank on.

Yeah, they are innocent humans. I know it seems like a contradiction on mine and northstar22's part but still. We know that they are blessings, but we just don't want the 24/7 responsibility of raising children.

After they're born, I don't want them killed. But as far as I'm concerned, a fetus is not life. A fetus has no rights. Your rights don't kick in until you're born and you get a birth certificate. Fetuses don't contribute toward the population count. They're not people.

I don't know what your view on the death penalty is. But I don't understand why so many pro-lifers also support the death penalty. The death penalty has killed innocent people. And they were actually living humans, there's no debating that. There's debate over whether or not a fetus is life.
