I think far and away most of the time it's a symptom of a young woman (and many times the other party involved) refusing to accept responsibility/accountability for the role they played in bad decisions and behavior. Not hooking up with a scumbag loser for some sport f**king is a solid plan in life. Always know who you're in bed with, kids.
In cases of rape/incest, I can see their point- I believe most people agree with that. But throwing away a human life you helped create as a matter of convenience is far different. Be responsible.

It seems like 9 times out of 10 the woman posting about abortion is ugly enough that I can’t ever imagine someone purposefully sleeping with them to begin with.

I just assume they realize it is a bad idea for the country to have unwanted babies in droves that taxpayers will eat shite for. Same people that don’t want “bad hombres” coming from south of the border want our own poor and reckless to have litters of kids they don’t want.
I'd make the argument that I would rather pay for/figure out how to support babies, than 30 year olds taking disability when they can work, or SNAP benefits on Coke and Ice cream, however, I know the response.
What I will say is that both our support systems AND our focus - are wrong. They are setup to perpetuate these problems, not help them. We build to continuously support the lowest common denominator and make sure there is no end to it.
But one of the biggest outputs of kids is to create a family, to have people focused on the right things, to learn how to sacrifice appropriately (and this goes beyond religion). It's how we are supposed to order ourselves for good. The more we allow people out of that - the more problems we create. The family unit is devalued -because a lot of those in power don't want it to be a morally productive function.
But at the very least, babies shouldn't pay the price for our inability to manage the world.

Maybe mamma should use a four year old iPhone instead of getting a new three camera wonder every year. The kids are going to pay the price of having a parent (presuming there isn't a dad around) that doesn't understand delayed gratification for the rest of their lives, regardless of how many hundreds of dollars a month we throw at a toddler to feed it.

Justifying their past misjudgments.

I don't assume that, at least not any more. Wall of text incoming:
I've told this story before, but my wife had an abortion in September 2022. It was one or two days after Tennessee's trigger law went in to effect after the overturn on Roe v. Wade a few months prior, and her experience trying to get life-saving care has made her a very outspoken critic of our current laws.
We did not know she was pregnant. She was having some abdominal pain that was getting more and more severe. Her doc recommended she go to the ER to get her appendix checked out. Long story short, it' turned out she had an ectopic pregnancy that had ruptured and she was bleeding internally and needed emergency surgery to stop the bleeding and save her life. In order to perform the surgery, they would have to legally abort the fetus.
Tennessee officials, in all of their wisdom, did not have any exceptions written into the trigger law. It was a total ban. No carve-out for life saving intervention of the mother.
While I'm holding my wife's hand as she's in pretty intense pain, the OB on call that night comes in and says we have to wait until their legal team can figure out if they can perform the surgery. This is after the fact that they have told us my wife would likely bleed out without the procedure. I'm just dumbfounded at this point. The fetus wasn't viable, so what difference did it make?
I won't go in to all of the details of that night, but at one point, we had a medical transport on call to come pick us up and take us to Missouri. At a another point, I had a team of doctors tell me they'd put their medical licenses and possible jail time on the line to perform the surgery. Things were tense, and my wife was dying.
About 4:00 am, she was finally wheeled back for surgery. It was technically an illegal abortion, and the doctors performing the operation were committing a crime. The doctors, in their written affirmative defense, had to acknowledge they were knowingly breaking the law. I'm forever thankful they stepped up. My wife may not be here today if they didn't have the balls to do it.
After she recovered, we wanted to understand what happened that night. We talked to politicians, lawyers, doctors, and advocates. It turns out my wife was the first woman in the state since the law had gone in to effect to have a medical emergency that necessitated an abortion. My wife, as well as my mother (a lifelong pro-life republican, btw), became outspoken critics of the laws of our state. Because of their work, and the work of many others, the TN abortion laws were amended. They're still restrictive, but at least there are some exceptions carved out to avoid the trauma my wife went through.
So, don't judge. What my wife went through was hard. She's still a little fricked up from it. Just my opinion, but I think a lot of it comes from not being able to properly grieve the child she lost. What's even more fricked up is that when she does speak up publicly, there are always people that call her a liar and a crisis actor. We would have loved that kid. They'd be about three years old right now, and they would have been a joy in our life. But it wasn't meant to be, and I accept that, but what I don't accept are the people who accuse us of lying. It happened, and because of the work of my wife and others, no one else will have to go through it.

I assume either that or that they are a whore who wants to frick anything that moves yet not deal with the consequences.

Treating an ectopic pregnancy is not abortion.

It’s really easy to avoid needing an abortion by the way. Don’t get pregnant and have unwanted pregnancies if you don’t want kids or if you haven’t found a good spouse yet. A child doesn’t deserve to die because you made poor choices and didn’t plan for anything.
They just want to continue being able to frick Canadians without any consequences. The last thing they want is a mixed-race baby, which says more about their own self than anything else.

I appreciate you sharing and that is a tough situation. Let's not act like the overwhelming majority of abortions aren't out of not wanting to deal with the consequences.

According to the lawyers and doctors at the hospital, as well as the politicians of the state of Tennessee, it was, in fact, and abortion. You may not think it is, but legally it is.

I don't disagree, but I'm also not as quick to judge as OP is.

I know legally and technically, by the definition, what happened in your situation was an abortion, but by my own pro-life opinionated stance, your wife's life was more important in that particular moment and I don't consider that to be an abortion.
There are 100% exceptions that need to be written into law for situations like this, and I don't think any level-headed person would disagree.
I'm very pro-life, but I'm also not retarded.

As someone who is pro abortion, chances are good I will want who is making these posts to abort every chance they get. You don't want them raising demon children that will hate you later.
It is also a good heads up to avoid them in the dating scene as well.
