would people opposed to abortion be willing.................................?

Question

to take in the unwanted children or finacially support them? i am personally uneasy with abortion, but would not like to impose my beliefs on people who feel the need to do it. should we register ourselves as willning to take these children or should the people opposed to abotion,(including me as one who is uneasy with it) tick a box saying we are willing to pay extra tax to support these children. after all we're willing to oppose the taking of their lives, shouldn't we be just as willing to make sure they have reasonable life free from poverty? i know this would not totally irradicate abortion, but wouldn't it make a big dent?

Answer 1

That is probably the most sensible thing I've heard in a long time. I'm pro-choice but wouldn't have an abortion myself. It would also give people who wanted but had no children (and can't afford the outrageous adoption fees) the chance to become loving parents. Blessings, my dear.

Answer 2

It would not eradicate abortion, aborting children has been done for centuries. Whether it be done by a common plant, or by someone doing it physically. Ofcourse back then, the chances of the mother living through a physical abortion was very little. Now we have the trained doctors to do a proper and clean job, so why take that away? It seems to be a common misconception that abortion is fairly new.

However, if some people were to opt for taking care of these unwanted children, why not adopt the millions of children already in poverty, without parents, etc,...? Wouldn't that be more of an idea?

Answer 3

You cannot decide on the merits or otherwise of abortion on financial grounds . How long would it be before you applied the same criteria to other groups in society that were financially expensive to the country ? The elderly poor, socially disadvantaged, educationally under achievers. In an economic upturn we could afford them ? but not if there was a slump . Human beings are not an inconvenience , who will speak for them , they have no voice . The right to choose , whose right ? Who of those in favour of abortion would have there own life snuffed out . However you dress it up it is morally indefensible. Worse than any war crime or genocide . Worse than the evil of the third Reich . The country is morally bankrupt . A reassessment of the value of human life is long overdue . We live in a prosperous country and poverty as it was known is not an issue . Money is wasted on all kinds of inconsequential things . What is more important , A human life or another runway , road or sporting stadium . Where are our priorities and our sense of justice for the very , very weakest .

There are many parents waiting to adopt a little baby. It's the older kids who come in the system who have a harder time. Either way I wouldn't think it would be okay to kill the baby after it was born if the parents didn't want it. It doesn't change the fact that I consider abortion to be murder.

I've heard this arguement before and I get why you thing it's a good one, but you have to understand that pro-life people look at an unborn baby the same way they look at a newborn baby, so most of these arguements can't possibly work on us.

Answer 5

For every selfish decision to abort a baby, there are hundreds of thousands of childless couples who would adore a sweet little baby to call their own. Why not have an adoption service running alongside IVF services so if treatment and IVF failed then they could adopt, with counselling if needed. This would save thousands of lives every year, as well as ensuring the happiness of thousands of families.
Personally I am completely against abortion unless for strict medical reasons. Otherwise it becomes murder- we then treat the unwanted child like a piece of rubbish to be discarded, instead of a gift from our Creator God who creates all life.
As for your suggestion that people should pay more tax, a better idea would be to stop the benefits of scroungers and those who just can't be bothered to work, and then use it to fund these children.
Why should those of a particular opinion be forced to pay for women who use abortion as a form of birth control instead of a last resort.

Answer 6

For a lot of the people opposing the right to abortion the real issue is the control of women, and those people could not care less about what happens after those unwanted children are born, quite a few of them even support capital punishment.

I find it very worthy of you to be prepared to offer support, but for many women the thought of not knowing what happened to their child after adoption is an even more severe strain than an abortion would have been. So I'm afraid that though it might reduce the rate of abortion somewhat, it won't make a huge difference.

Answer 7

I may be pro-choice, but I also recognize that there are lines of people waiting for a healthy Caucasian child in the US. I would think that a couple wanting a child could work out a deal with a person wanting an abortion, and pay her to have the child and allow them to adopt.

Answer 8

once again, let's attack the symptom and ignore the problem,
the source of the problem? person's who are unwilling to use their brains.
Preventing pregnancy is simple and easy to understand.
How about this, we go along with your plan, but then demand sterilization for those who are unwilling to prevent the unwanted pregnacy. That way they will not be like stray dogs and cats conitually pumping out litter after litter of unwanted children.\


Sound ridiculous? So is attacking the symptom of the problem of abortion. If humans are supposedly this 'evolved' and intelligent entity, why is it they refuse to use their powers of reasoning when it comes to preventing unwanted pregnancy?
It is tantamount to saying it is acceptable to ignore the process of reproduction, then repeatedly kill the powerless victims of the parents lack of intelligence and foresight.
People shoud e forced to keep the children and raise them, as maybe this would get stupid people to think twice about their cavlier attitue towards reproduction.
I really think that if all those who desired to terminate pregnancy were required by law to have and raise their children, the level of unwanted pregnancy would drop to zero. As there would be no recourse other than facing up to the awesome resposibility f using ones reproductive organs in a responsible manner.

Answer 9

I would stand up and be counted for over the anti-abortion issue. I can't bear children so I would more than willingly adopt a child who is unwanted, and pay the extra needed to ensure those who aren't are looked after.

Answer 10
