Mind-blowing: The Economic Consequences of Being Denied an Abortion

"...Following the encounter, women who were denied an abortion experience a large increase in financial distress that remains for several years."
American Economic Journal: Economic Policy vol. 15, no. 1, February 2023
Are we seriously this far gone in our society where it has come to the point of arguing for the termination of an infant in order to alleviate "financial burden"?
So let me get this straight - after having engaged in sexual intercourse, and I'm presuming consciously, outside of marriage, and never mind the fringe cases of rape/incest which account for less than 0.5 to 1% of pregnancies, that we can entertain the idea of killing the baby in favor of "alleviating financial burden" on the mother.
Moral relativity you say? How about absolutely evil to the core?

Some people probably should have been aborted for the benefit of society. You know it. I know it.
The question is if it’s immoral. And it absolutely is. It’s murder and it should not be legal.

They can still do it to themselves. It's like these gremlins at Davos who believe there are too many people on the planet. Well, ok. Jump off a damn cliff and start the depopulation with yourself.
They will never do it.

You should see the literal mind blowing from an abortion.

It's about convenience.

NEWSFLASH: Children are expensive to raise.
So basically if poor people were rendered sterile society would be better off? This is something Margaret Sanger would endorse.

Akin to "ethnic cleansing"? Gee, that sounds mighty familiar - like 1930s familiar...

It's utilitarian, but yes.

Well than maybe those women should've kept their legs closed. You have sex you know the risks take some goddamn accountability and learn how to budget for your child.

Weird considerations for something women insist is a medical intervention.

The people that should be having kids aren’t. And I’ll say this again, we’ve imported one for every abortion.
So the taxpayer is still picking up the burden.

How about the moral and economic consequences of fornicating? Fornication which leads to unplanned pregnancy. Which leads to government funded abortion.

Spending a trillion dollars to get appliances and vehicles off fossil fuels in what will be a likely futile effort to make any tangible impact on the environment is worth it, no cost is too high. But directly and and barbarically exterminating human lives for economic reasons is sensible and progressive.
Trust the science above all else, which says your toddler should get that vaccine and if not you're a death merchant. But his pediatrician needs to swear an oath that western medicine is not the only form of healing arts and pledge to decolonize medicine.
this is America in 2023

I have absolutely ZERO difficultly understanding your viewpoint. You view every genetically-unique human organism as having some great, inherent value, and that view shapes your analysis of the abortion issue. Given that underlying premise, your viewpoint makes perfect sense.
Why are you unable to grasp that not everyone shares your viewpoint and that many people do not see any "evil" whatsoever in the early termination of an unwanted pregnancy. That THIS viewpoint makes perfect sense, if one does NOT accept the premise that a human zygote or blastocyst or embryo has some unique, special value?
I have never felt that my viewpoint makes me inherently or morally superior to you. Why do you insist that those who do not share your viewpoint are inherently, morally inferior?

Can't that be extended to anything?
If I think people who have severe mental illness are expendable and should be discarded, am I automatically morally inferior to someone who thinks they have innate value?

I am a believer in the ideological premise of eugenics. I use the same principles in the breeding of my livestock. Pragmatically, it is impossible to impose on humans with authoritarian state, which I despise.
But to say it doesn't have it's benefits rooted in science and years of practical experience is naive.

Did we really need a study to show that having kids will cause financial stress for several years?
