Ok, so now you're linking studies of actual single mothers raising live kids to what MIGHT occur if fetuses weren't aborted? You should have said that in the first place. What if all those aborted children were instead adopted and raised in stable 2-parent families? And what about the ones who would have beaten the odds in single-mother homes? Do they deserve to be snuffed out because WTF thinks the statistics don't look good?You asked for statistics. ..now you bring up the exceptions.

That is her option...just as birth control is....it should be more readily available to the poor. We should educate our children better so they understand their options and costs of child rearing.

They didn't say what you hoped they would, now you're back pedaling. What if? What if? What if your aunt had a dick? Then she'd be your uncle, you goddamn idiot.

Jail, something you do not seem to mind spending money on.
So let's review the facts....you want women to have unwanted children , you do not want to pay for the proper care to keep that child from a life of crime but you have no problem paying for the imprisonment of that child once he does what statistics say he will do... Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Originally Posted by WTF

I fully support a woman's right to choose. I hope she would choose life, but it's not my decision. Each abortion is a tragedy. It's a tragedy for the child, the mother, the father (sometimes), the family, and the community. Abortion is never a good decision. It may be the best of all the bad choices facing the mother, and she should have right to so choose, but it is not a good thing. Having the right to make that choice is a good thing. Having to make the decision is not. No woman looks forward to making that choice.
Quit treating it like a political sideshow and trying to find reasons to make abortion sound noble. That's the stupidity I was mocking. Not the woman's right to choose. I was mocking a bunch of men treating it like a benefit. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuy
