And that makes me feel bad. I can't imagine what defunding planned parenthood is going to do to the increase in births of kids to shitty people who have no business having kids. Who will in turn probably become stuck in the same cycle.

Am I wrong for thinking we should be encouraging abortions when they inevitably get knocked up because they can't understand contraception?

My conservative side is puzzled.


It seems like you believe abortion should be allowed in an effort to weed out the undesirables and to control the population size. Which makes sense and is fine, if you do not think a life is being taken. But I'm going to assume that you think it is a human life since your post refers to "your conservative side being puzzled."

So my question to you is, are you also willing to advocate for all of the criminals and undesirables currently in the country to be put down by lethal injection? It would certainly benefit society wouldn't it?

Politically, it's smart to be "for" abortions. What do you think the politics are of the majority of the people who have abortions?

They are controlling their own population. If anything, Dems should want to outlaw it just like they want to keep borders open. They'll get more voters.

But shhhhh. Dont tell them.

Men who refuse to wear condoms are just as much to blame. Men who screw everything that moves are as much to blame.

You said cutting off assistance wouldn't lower unwanted pregnancies at all. Thats just an ignorant statement

I think the ignorant statement is believing that people will turn to celibacy if they were cut off from assistance. There is no evidence that this would work. None.

So because there is one evil, bad parents, your solution is to kill their children?
How about we do something about deadbeats instead?!

Someone educate me. Planned Parenthood is not allowed fund abortions with the money they get from the government. So how are our tax dollars directly paying for abortions?

I KNOW I am for forced sterilization of welfare recipients. So there's that.

There is absolutely no convergence of circumstances that will allow me to declare abortion to be necessary or beneficial.

And despite the proclamation of my gender that it's a women's issue, that is simply not the case. Any man who says he doesn't deserve a voice in the matter isn't much of a man IMO and has been hoodwinked by militant women.

Men deserve a voice, but not the final nor deciding voice.

Absolutely, but as it is, it's just cursory at best.

Amittedly there isn't a simple solution available. I don't advocate for government intervention but I do want to see men more involved in the decision.

In any event I hate that my fellow women have made "it's my body" a rallying cry and I would like to see men stop buying into it without considertion of their child being murdered.

why should government fund it?


Because you either fund it there or on the law enforcement, penal system, drug treatment, housing, food, etc. etc.

Absolutely none. IMO abortion is wrong. If it's wrong then it's always wrong.

I don't feel equipped to have an opinion, not being a woman.


Children aren't self made. 2 people are involved.

And I still hate government funding planned parenthood but I'm torn.


As long as the sperm donor in the equation isn't required to be responsible for the result of his "getting some" responsible men have no right to dictate to women what they do with a fetus that they are going to be responsible for alone.

If you want to end abortion or sharply curtail it here's a grand idea...make it a VERY serious crime to father a child and abandon it! Make drugs legal, throw every non-violent drug offender out of prison and wipe the record clean of any non-violent drug related crimes and fill those cells up with baby daddies who can't be bothered to wrap that rascal or simply pull out. For those of you who don't like the idea of drug offenders (you know...young black men) being tossed out of jail don't worry...many of them will fall into the other category also...they will soon be right back where you think they belong.

I will never understand why men on the right are so emotionally engaged over abortion but could give a damn less about young men fathering children and the courts never doing anything about it. If a woman has to seek public assistance to raise a child and the father can be identified, a fairly easy thing to do in this day and age, then that father should be legally responsible for the cost of that child, period. If he can't pay then he should be placed in a labor camp and his earnings used to offset the costs of raising his child....and if that means the frick stays in prison for 50 years until he pays society back for the cost of his failing to wrap that rascal or pull out that is the breaks. We will never address this situation because we are a male dominated culture and we would prefer to shame the woman, equally responsible for not saying no or insisting on a condom, for being a slut.

1. Eliminate the government entitlements for having kids to begin with,

2. Create a strong enforcement force holding deadbeat dads financially responsible,

3. Fund sexual education and access to free birth control as well as make the morning after pill something everyone can walk into a pharmacy and get.

The birth rate will lower without lowering ourselves by dehumanizing the act of murder.
