I'm atheist and anti-abortion............so, apparently, yes


Well, you can be atheist and still mostly have moral beef with it. Honestly, I'm more agnostic and hate abortions morally but often wonder about keeping them legalized fiscally

Honestly, most people having them who can't afford them have very little to offer society or the gene pool other than more dependents.

I'm not particularly religious - though I wouldn't call myself atheist or agnostic - am strongly libertarian and am pro-life.

If you believe moral and philosophical life begins at conception and/or implantation, then you believe that it's murder. Not too much that's complicated about it. It kind of comes down to the idea that no one has the right to deny anyone an opportunity at life.

I also think culture and political economy would have been better adapted had abortion not been made legal, so the fiscal arguments would go right out the window. Certain sexual proclivities and the normalization of out-of-wedlock births in poverty cultures - both white and black - wouldn't have been as normalized had that not happened.
