South Carolina legislators quietly passing more restrictive abortion laws

Just for the record. How many of you prolifers are going to adopt or help support these children you want these women who chose abortion but can't have them? You want to take away a woman's choice then someone has to step up.
We all know Republicans are against welfare. That means opening orphanages or making you pro lifers put your money where your beliefs are...

GOP isn't against welfare. GOP is against able bodied people staying on welfare forever. If GOP supports Democrat's idea of proper welfare spending today, tomorrow they will say it is not enough.

and you can't make the case there is not more than enough welfare and entitlements in this country. the national debt has been doubled the past 8 years. The number of abortions has actually increased as welfare and entitlement spending has increased since the 1920s.

i note that you have not made a case that an unborn baby that has standard proofs of life is not alive. you rely on blameshifting rhetoric.

in SC, there would be less jobs than there currently are if not for GOP business friendly approach on taxes and right to work laws that attract employers to the state. if you see poverty as an excuse for abortion, then perhaps we should examine which party is most business friendly. across the country, there is record number of people living in poverty, and a record number of people are unemployed and underemployed.

What our visitors from the politics forums seem to forget, is that you can be pro life and not a Republican. You can also not religious and be prolife. You can be a social conservative but vote Democrat because you're in a union.
While it's easier to cast everybody who doesn't share your viewpoint as "the bad guy Republicans", it's important to remember there's more than just 2 personality types in America. To assume otherwise means you've become a victim of your own propaganda.

In most cases what people consider "immoral" is simply a date on a calendar. Pretty much everybody agrees you shouldn't kill a newborn regardless of circumstances, personal religious beliefs, or political affiliation. Most people agree you shouldn't kill a 3rd trimester fetus, maybe half of people agree you shouldn't kill a 2nd trimester fetus, and so on. There's nothing inherently political about it.

To answer your question I'm not adopting anything.
I don't think we should kill endangered species, but I'm not adopting a gorilla anytime soon either.

If you want to see if Republican voters are willing to better fund adoption agencies and orphanages, you can bring that up in the politics forum. Most Republicans have no problem helping the helpless, it's helping the lazy they have a problem with. Most charities are funded by evil evangelicals though, so I'm sure that throws a wrench in your overgeneralizations.
