A middle aged, affluent housewife who's not addicted to anything can be a crappy mother. Her husband can be a crappy father. The drug addicted prostitute can be a great mother, or a crappy mother.
Parenting skills are not the question. The right of killing other people is the question.
You didn't answer the question in this post, either
At what age is the murder murder instead of a "choice"?
I would give them the same choice - in cases of rape or the life of the mother. In all other cases, the potential of bringing life into the world was a known factor when the decision was made to have sex. One must live with the consequences of their actions. There are virtually no babies out there in the US that won't get adopted (older kids, sadly, yes, but not babies) - there are waiting lists. It's just plain murder to make any other decision than having the child. What then happens to that life is also regulated - we can't kill unwanted children after the cord is cut, we shouldn't be able to kill them before hand, either. It's just that simple. Just because a baby is tiny does not mean it's not a baby yet.
Again, unless you're talking rape (which is the basis for my caveat that I'd accept abortion as an option for a rape victim), no one forced anyone to have sex, thus risking having a child.
No one has a choice to murder their two day old, either. :shrug: What's the difference?
That's right, she had the choice to have sex. Just like getting HIV through it, or genital warts, or orgasmic pleasure and intimacy - these are all potential results of the sex, and they all must be accepted as a potential result. Killing the child they took the risk to create is murder, and that's not a reasonable response.
Murder is my business whether it's a baby, or a child, or a teen, or a young adult, or adult, or senior citizen.
Absolutely not true. Many people against abortion adopt, run adoption agencies, teach abstinence and/or safe sex as alternatives, pay taxes to support those of lower income get by until they can get by on their own, etc. What you say here is patently false.
My judgement, as you word it, against abortion is based entirely on secular thoughts. Three times at least above you labeled my thoughts on it as religiously based. Please provide any quote from me that justifies that nonsense.
You're right in your own twisted way. However, I wasn't taught abstinence, I was taught "safe sex". See how well that worked out?
Why? Because that's an idiotic suggestion. Sex is certainly up to the conscenting adults. The suggestion is that they be held accountable for their actions instead of allowing (and taxpayer funding) the murder of their child.
You're absolutely right, the only difference is time. Otherwise, they're both murder
I was labeling the whole group but in your case that is not true. In your case you believe because it happened to you and you did not like it than your opinion should be forced on all others. I say let them make there own decisions or you raise these children for them.
You're absolutely right, the only difference is time. Otherwise, they're both murder
Wow, anti abortionists pay taxes!! Aren't they just the friggin Modern Day Mother Theresa..
Again, my reasoning is not based upon what happened to me. I merely was responding to someone who suggested I had no dog in the fight because I was male.
