It amazes me how little interest pro-choicers have in the welfare of of a child before it exits the birth canal. Just pop a pair of scissors in it’s head on it’s way out to prevent anyone from having to care for the child.
You still fail to understand that being pro-life is about preventing the destruction of life by another. If I prevent a murderer from killing his intended victim I am not at all resposible for that person’s care for any amount of time. I may choose to help the victim or the unwanted child but I am not compelled to do so.
YOU still fail to understand that you’re simply assuming as a given that a fetus is a life, a person, or that disagreement on point is the entire discussion. You fail to understand that your assumption is not necessarily a fact, and is not necessarily universally shared.
Naturally any conclusion drawn from your assumption will be the one you hold. But it shouldn’t mystify you how a different assumption will lead to a different conclusion.
I think you’re assumption is entirely wrong. I can only give my own views as an example, but I believe that you’d find a fair number of people who think along the same lines that I do.
Of utmost sanctity is a person’s ability to make choices about their body, their future, and their well-being. Forcing someone to birth a child that they did not want can be a very bad thing for reasons that don’t even need to be repeated.
Once a person has chosen to birth a child, I believe any pro-choicer that you can find would care very much about the unborn child. For that matter, even before the decision is made.
If the decision is made to terminate the pregnancy, we still find it a sad decision, but we feel it is more important that people be able to make the choice willingly than to force a child (or prospective mother) into potentially bad, or very bad, situation.
I agree, that is why I say to me they are just pro-birth! Some want to prevent her from using the morning after pill,just in case there was a conception. Not taking in to consideration that she is compelled to carry a child for 9 months, then complain that there are too many children born out of wedlock, too many taxes to pay to support a child for 18+ years.
They want the woman to sacrifice her body and time but think if they throw a dollar or two (when they feel like it) toward the support of the child they can soothe their consciences. I do not know of any so called Pro-Lifer who will be willing to go with out luxeries to support a child, or it’s family. That is why in my opinion,they complain of taxes, and say they want to willingly give, not be forced through taxation…what is the difference, if one gives half their salary to support the children they insist be born or are taxed? I wonder if it is a good excuse! A family that is already supporting 3 0r 4 children may not be able to support more. I some cases like in this econemy it is difficult to support 1 or 2.
The best way to cut down on the need for abortions is to practice safe sex, have the morning after pill available,or a reliable birth control .Abstenince for those who can, if they have a low sex drive that may be the case, but it is not the norm!
