so? it seems like the govt or many politicians believe it is their business to make it harder for women to get abortions then after that say oh the government is not a charity, taking care of those or providing support for those children is not our business. Which is it? Is that shit the government's business or not? How hard is that to understand?

Also why is it up to private charities to support the kids, when its the laws of government that are forcing people to have them in the first place?

Government is essentially a charity that forces you to donate to them at gunpoint.

Sounds like this government stuff is bad news. Maybe they shouldn't be in charge of making reproductive decisions for the entire population.

That's a difficult question to answer. I think a lot of pro-life politicians are hypocritical for that reason, and perhaps in a meta sense that applies to the general pro-life population, but I don't think there's anything inherently hypocritical in their views (which would best be summed up as "You shouldn't do the deed if you can't face the consequences; you can't kill an unborn kid or expect the state to bail you out if you get knocked up - go raise them yourself, or give them up for adoption"). I disagree with that view, but I don't see any logical inconsistency in it.

Absolutely.

"Abortions should be illegal."
> Okay, then we should increase funding for affordable child care, foster care, and education.
"No, we already pay enough in taxes."
> Then let's reduce spending on things that already get way more funding than necessary, like the military.
"No, we need a strong military. People who don't want kids should be more careful in not getting pregnant."
> Agreed, but unwanted pregnancies are happening anyway. We should improve sex education and provide affordable birth control to low income people.
"No, that's immoral. People should just not have sex."
> Abstinence-only education has repeatedly proven to be a failure. This issue has already been settled. More people will have unwanted pregnancies.
"Yeah, but abortions should be illegal."

politicians WANT to see parents support their own damn kids because it teaches those kids to take care of themselves, as opposed to relying on the government.


So... why not let parents who can't support children abort those pregnancies? Abortion is making an effort to avoid relying on the government.


Unlikely, considering the types of people who rely on the government to take care of their kids are generally the same people who have kids to get government subsidies. You'll hear people complain about kids already receiving SNAP benefits getting free lunches but, as I always point out, that's the ONLY food guaranteed to be going to the kid.

Or just take the kids away. Honestly, CPS isn't used enough in this day and age given how many fucking awful parents there are.

Cost of feeding a child for a month: $200
Cost of CPS protection for a child for a month: $1000+

Tell me more about how that's the fiscally conservative choice.

Even though what zeus posted is stupid, there's more cost a month to take care of a child than just food.

Then who do you think want abortions, if not people who can't support an unintended pregnancy? Do you think pro-choicers all have a fetish for extra-heavy periods, so they deliberately have unprotected sex to get pregnant so they can have an abortion and enjoy the bonus vaginal bleeding?

That's sort of the point. It's far, far more economical for the government to provide money to feed the children than it is to take on all of their care via CPS.

Keep in mind that they get far more subsidies than just SNAP and those subsidies are often misused for personal benefit. Nor did I say that was the fiscally conservative option although, all things considered, it COULD be depending on how care was administered.

And it's not the child's fault, so why is the child the victim in that scenario?

Again, if it was just SNAP/EBT, that wouldn't be an issue. However, there are a LOT of additional money they're able to get as a result. In many cases, it's enough for a single-mom to be a stay-at-home mom... and those same stay-at-homes are pushing for after-school daycare.

Because your "argument" is based on any number of faulty premises. First, you're assuming that everybody who has an abortion can't afford the baby, which is demonstrably false. Second, you're assuming that everybody who can't afford children have abortions, which is also demonstrably false. All that leaves is reckless behavior -- which you admit by noting that it involves unprotected sex -- which brings me back to *my* point: The ONLY person not at fault in that arrangement is the child, so why make him (or her, because it's usually a girl being aborted) the victim?

Then feel free to take the kid away afterward if they're truly awful people. However, it doesn't make much sense to kill the kid for the stupidity of her parents. More importantly, if you keep giving outs like that, it's only a matter of time before they catch a STD and the state winds up paying for the parent's care anyway.

That's what ended up pushing me away from being pro-life. So many pro-lifers say "just put the kid up for adoption!" while having absolutely no intention of ever adopting a child or otherwise contributing to the foster care system to ensure any sort of quality of life for the children they want put into it. More so than failing to advocate for more child welfare services, that's what paints pro-lifers as hypocrites that don't actually give two craps about the child, and instead just want to see the woman punished for being a dirty sex-haver.

Even the adoption argument is stupid and hypocritical. It ignores that care begins in pregnancy, not "afterwords"... when a woman agrees to have a baby, she is a mother right from the time that she is pregnant and not simply after the baby is born. It will require her to have access to doctor visits and whatever else. If she has already said she doesn't want to care for a fetus, they call her reckless and risky yet they're like "well have it anyway"... it's pretty f***ing dumb and hypocritical whatever way you try to slice it.
