Illustrate a *farcical point* about murdering babies.

There. FTFY

no wonder you repeatedly "whooshed" it... it's not hilariously poor reading comprehension and lack of basic logic, one simply can't be a true, not religiously motivated anti-choicer while maintaining intellectually honest.

Not going to lie I haven't read a single post here so I could be way off base but if you can still travel and have an abortion doesn't this just have its most major impact on poor people. People who can't support a child. I don't know the statistics off hand, but I'd be willing to bet the people having abortions the most are those living in poverty, with the highest rates among African Americans. If that were true, 73% or something wild like that of African American children are born out of wedlock, there's not going to be child support coming.

Not sure America just needs more system kids growing up.

I always felt abortion is morally wrong as it's the deliberate termination of human life. Seeing something tiny on the ultrasound squiggling about within a few months just reinforces my view on this matter.

This weirds me out as well, if republicans hate black people so much why would they be fighting so hard to have that much more of them?

Fucking idiots.

You're also in a vastly different position in life than the bulk of the people having abortions, and our view points are often a reflection of the aggregate of our own individual circumstances.

So you're a "save the embryos" kinda guy huh.

A lot are, especially in the Catholic church. If a woman weeps for aborted fetuses, I'm not going to question the sincerity of her belief and I'm going to assume it comes from a place of compassion. Many of those people STRONGLY support adoption, expanded childcare, etc. There's a reason why many on the right want to expand benefits for families. In my experience, your average pro-lifer genuinely wants to help children. I also think you need to distinguish between VOTERS and the people creating the policy. You're not wrong that many elected officials are full of shit and they often ignore the will of the voters.

As to the question why they oppose pragmatic measures, there are a number of reasons:
1) They could simply be misinformed and they would say something like "condoms don't work and only encourage more sex"
2) They may believe that alternative paths exist that haven't been tried (how many times have we heard from libertarians that we've never REALLY had a free market lol)

It should not surprise you that many Americans will vote for things that are actually COUNTER to their belief system when you look at the practical effects of the policy.

compassion for an embryo and compassion for the child when its born are separate but related topics to pro life conservatives, but they're the same topic to pro choice liberals. its been the boon of these discussions for decades.

Even with all our technology today. If we decide to save those 1000 embryos from that fire instead of the child, were not making a single human out of them.
