I don't care. Obviously the amount of "muh" rights in this country are getting to stupid levels. "Muh abortion" "Muh right to not wear a mask, "muh" right to not get vaccinated. Obviously the right of an innocent little child to SURVIVE, outwieghs some promiscuous womens right to kill it.

A fetus cannot have innocence. It’s not sentient. It has zero rights.

Again, being dismissive and disparaging doesn't change anything. You can insult women until you're blue in the face, that won't make them want an abortion any less.

I word for ya: Adoption.


Which does not solve the problem of an unwanted pregnancy. You're functionally saying something similar to 'she should just let the rapist finish! It's just a short-term inconvenience!'.

Women shaming? Where?


'promiscuous women'

'don't be promiscuous'

If you don't think that's shaming women, that's pretty shameful.

Explain how you got that from what the other person said.

From the context of the post they are replying to, that most women get abortions not because they want to, but because as mothers they would be unable to work, get an education or support their families; and from the ghoulish response that they should be denied these things because there are too many people already and that getting an abortion upon being prevented from supporting yourself and your children is a responsible choice.

Don't be promiscuous. Then you wont have to worry about the fetus "making use of body without consent"

Really, again?
I can't have sex with my spouse because I don't want any more children. 4 is enough.

For personal reasons, we haven't had a vasectomy/ hysterectomy.
Yes we use condoms. But if I am pregnant, we'll have an abortion.
It is that easy.

You must have missed my point about how the US foster care system couldn't handle the numbers.

To repeat:

US foster care system has 400,000 in it at any given time, 120,000 up for adoption. Average time to adoption 4 years.

Number of abortions in the US is roughly 600,000.

Let's say magically it stays at 4 years to get adopted and half of abortions become adoptions. You would be adding 1.2 million children into the foster care system. I don't think adding triple the number of children in the system currently as babies is going to work out well.

They can try, but it's not that hard to smuggle abortion pills into these states. States can't control opioids or cocaine, they're not gonna be able to stop people having abortions.

God bless the internet. Whether you need to abort or just get high, it's only a click away, and statistically, the government will never intercept even 1% of it. :)

"some promiscuous womens"

In fairness, older children with trauma/behavioral issues are hugely overrepresented in the foster system. Babies are way easier to adopt. It's reasonable to expect that the number of years to adopt would actually go down.

I note how you make no comment about the promiscuous man who decided to stick his dick in the woman.
Why is that ?

It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on.

People who don't want to be pregnant aren't going to change their minds and stay pregnant for nine months just because you told them that abortion is murder and called them promiscuous.

Arrite. Thank you.

I'm fine with addressing those problems. A lot of abortions could be stopped without actually banning anything if folks would just focus on helping out single or struggling parents.
