Anti-choicers: Whats your solution to all of the unwanted children if abortion is banned?

Question

Obviously, abortion is a very difficult decision for a pregnant woman. She's come to it because she doe not want to have a child. So what is your solution to forcing her to have this unwanted child?

Adoption doesn't work. Foster children become more of a drain on society the longer they're in foster care. Agencies are overcrowded, underfunded, and nobody wants a 13 year old foster child.

So crime goes up, welfare gets worse and all of these unwanted children end up in prison. More taxpayer money that has been taking care of them all of their life.

I think if abortion is banned then the Churches should be forced to raise these children and then give them to the people of the parish. We'll see then. Call them on their bluff. Good Christians ha!

Answer 1

I'm not a Christian. I'm not conservative. I'm pro-choice. But I strongly feel that abortion should be a last-ditch effort as a part of a final-resort. I don't honestly feel that women should go and get an abortion just for the hell of it. But I'll be honest with you. Most Christians (the extremists) think this is the case.

There you go. Two absolutely brilliant comments from moms that HAD abortion. Both of them are Christian, I'm quite certain. And both of them regret doing it... but they did it for the right reasons. They did it because they loved their children.

You could sit there and think, "but why did that woman 'KILL' her child?" She didn't KILL her. She just chose to end her fate- which would have been endless suffering. The child's mother wouldn't have any money to support both of them; they'd be miserable and poor. Plus, what if the mother was too young? You might think, "why did she have sex in the first place?" Well, what if she was raped? What if she thought it would have lasted with her future husband? Premarital sex is wrong in the eyes of many Christians, but I should tell you... many don't give a f*ck either way. As long as you have someone who can help you support the family, you're good.

What about the mother that ended her future-child's life because it was forming in her Fallopian tubes? In my opinion, it wasn't the mother's "selfish" want for her to survive, while her baby died. What if the mother realized that her child wouldn't have a good future? After all, you'd end up with a kid, but a dead mother. Who would raise it properly? Rather than end up with a poorly-raised future serial-killer in the world who was motherless, the mother might've decided to end the baby's life, because there's a very high possibility that if she were to get pregnant again, it would be a normal uterine pregnancy. She'd be able to live and raise a good child.

Women don't go and see professionals or even back-alley abortionists casually. It's ALWAYS a tough decision, despite what many may let on.

I'm not a Christian, nor do I support the Christian agenda. But I feel that the Churches having to take care of the children is a little blah. I don't think it should be the Church's responsibility to look after the children. It wasn't the Church's decision to outlaw abortion. It was the government's. Sure, the Church influences the government, but regardless. If someone else were to raise the children (if they were able to be born... excluding the tube or liver pregnancies...), I think it should be those that are strongly opposed to abortion. However, I'd be childish to say such a thing. Mandating someone to take care of a child, regardless of if it's against their wills might only endanger the child. What if an anti-choice critic who fervently opposes abortion but also ardently rejects the thought of having to take care of another child is forced to take care of a child they don't want? They might make the child miserable for the rest of his/her life. You see what I mean?

I've been rambling now. Email me if you want to talk. :-/

Answer 2

I'm not sure where the info came from for this question, but as an adopting parent I can say from personal experience....it is VERY DIFFICULT to adopt an infant in the United States of ANY race and of ANY gender healthy or otherwise because of the convience of abortions. My husband were open to any child....it did not matter to us what race, gender or disability....(we have a bio son with a hearing impairment so we know that challenged children just need encouragment and love to succeed). After a year of searching domestically and being told that the list for a baby (of any race) was a few years long we decided to adopt a child from another country....since God made ALL THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD.

My answer to the question of "what's your solution to all the unwanted children if abortion is banned?" Well, I have to correct the question....the children are not UNWANTED!!

Answer 3

I work to educate the parents to begin with, and I volunteer at a soup kitchen/educational center that promotes literacy along with serving healthy meals. Since you are asking "anti-choicers" this question, I hope you will answer in return. As a pro-choicer, are you suggesting that it would be better to kill all these children? Would you line them all up and shoot them or something, simply because they are unwanted? I realize that's making the "choice" a little late, but it amounts to the same thing if you propose that unwanted children should be killed before birth simply so that you don't have to see them and teach them how to read yourself. I don't suppose it ever occurred to you how many of these children haven't been read to because their own parents can't read? Still think they should have been aborted? BTW, how many of these kids are African-American, Hispanic, Latino, Native American? How do you justify the fact that abortion clinics prey on minorities. About 1/3 of abortions are performed on African-American women, but you know darn well that African-Americans don't make up 1/3 of the population. They would if so many of them hadn't been killed off by your elitist, racist organizations like Planned Parenthood, which was founded by a woman who loved the KKK and Hitler's play for an "Aryan" race.

Answer 4

I am undecided on the whole issue, but I have a question if you believe that abortion is a solution then why are the already so many unwantted children even though it is legal. There are better ways to avoid having unwanted children and lower populations. Look at China they lowered their population really easily and got rid of the whole problem of unwanted children. Also hey here is a thought how about proper sexual education that seems to lower promiscuity and lower the amount of teenage pregnancy and other unwanted pregnancies. How about contraceptive methods that have extremely high success rates, such as, IUDs, the pill, injection heck they are even working on a pill that a guy can use on himself. If people could learn to stop getting pregnant this issue wouldn't exist and there are places to get condoms for free so cost is not a problem.

Answer 5

Its not the child that's the problem.
Try moving the solution. Society says sex with anyone anytime is fine. Take a look at this huge problem and tell me you think that's really true. If you can't handle having a child, don't have sex. If your married I don't believe you would ever consider abortion or giving it up. By the end of the pregnancy you would want to keep your child if you didn't initially. Sex isn't about fun, it's about love. If that was the only condition it existed in, there wouldn't be this issue.
I think your statistics are very misled. Do you have ANY concept how many people want children that can't have them??? It's pretty harsh to look at people as numbers. Do you see yourself or your friends or anyone you love as numbers and statistics? Honestly, life is all about people. That is what matters most. Abort a child and you take away their agency in life, cause they don't get the opportunity to one.These are real human beings.
One mistake is not fixed by another.
If people take responsibility for their actions society will be fine. Society would not only be fine, but be much better off .

Answer 6

Some people have a hard time coming to the decision to have an abortion, others use abortion as a type of birth control. I think abortion is wrong except in the cases of rape, child rape, and incest. Giving the children up for adoption if you don't want it is the only answer in my eyes. At least then you're not taking an innocent life. And if the government would stop worrying about all these foreign countries and concentrate more on the U.S. we might have more money to help out orphanages.

Answer 7

that's just one part of the issue, but not the whole reason.

some woman don't want to have kids because they don't want to be pregnant. for some its just not plausible to "stay off their feet" the two months before birth. they have to work, and some employers will fire you (especially from menial jobs) if you have to take a lot of sick days cause you're puking a lot in the morning. this of course doesn't happen to all women, some have great pregnancies, but some woman can't take the chance that the pregnancy will be bad. our society doesn't protect pregnant women as much as i would like it to. if there was universal prenatal care for all women, who could then return to their jobs easily, then i might say that we shouldn't have abortion, but until then, i can't.

and yes, many people want children. but you have to realize they want healthy, caucasion babies born to parents who are "normal" but just can't have a child right now. its a lot more difficult to place a baby who's already addicted to heroin, or one that's deformed because the mother drank alcohol during pregnancy. i wish people really wanted "any" baby. we need more of those people.

its also about choice. what if a woman just doesn't want to be pregnant? isn't that her choice?

Answer 8

Well forgive be before I even start, but there used to be birth control that stopped pregnancy from happening. After two children the state Department of Human Services will pay for your tubes tied or vasectomy,

I am not going to say it is right or wrong, but if you get yourself in a way where you might of got pregnant, why not the morning after pill? It not a fetus yes, it not even in your uterus yet...

I am not saying I could do this, but I could do it before I cold abortion, but I am not downing anyone that does either one, they are the one that has to stand in front of Jesus Christ on Judgment day and it there Judgment..

Answer 9

More tax-payers money going to faith-based welfare coffers...(they aren't stupid) and faith-based care homes for the orphans who can then be abused and turn into a social problem for everyone in a decade & a half.

Answer 10

Guess what, there are plenty of women that do not want a child then after carrying it for 9 months and giving birth grow to love their child. I would take any child no one wanted, I can't have any more children and I have 4 already, children are a blessing
But maybe just killing it is the best solution to cowards who are afraid of going through 9 months and giving birth then just adopt, killing it is much easier
