Why do those against abortion tend to be the same people who are against helping poor children?

Question

To the anti-choice people who are reading this: You want them all born, no matter what, right? Do you only care until they're born, and after that, who gives a toss? Or are you really only concerned with forcing your beliefs on other people, including pregnant women in bad situations?

And before you answer, please consider that spending on welfare in the U.S. is but a small fraction of what we spend on 'defense'. If you truly are so concerned that every pregnancy be carried through 'til birth, shouldn't you perhaps be willing to help provide for these children through your tax dollars?

Answer 1

Yeah, they're the ones always complaining about the deadbeats on welfare having more babies to get more $$ out of the government. What's funny is these people also vehemently oppose gay people being allowed to adopt. If we have all these unwanted kids that just HAVE to be born, why not let the ones who can't have kids give them loving homes? Too many foster parents just do it to get a check, and they don't give a rat's a** about those poor kids. It's so sad.

Answer 2

one million. that's just about like announcing its as much as a parasite or an epidemic to make a decision whether or not it must be killed or no longer when you consider that for a even as, that is what a youngster is, a parasite two. having too many children within the approach is not the difficulty and in my brain is not going to also be introduced up within the query of abortion when you consider that anybody (or plenty of someones) will have got to deliver at the human race and beginning restricting like china has is a bigger resolution three.with brand new remedy and remedy which will (confidently) nonetheless be to be had toddlers with congenital defects will confidently have a greater survival cost, best in extreme instances such because the youngster no longer residing for various hours and killing the mummy within the system must an abortion be allowed four. That offers with the dilemma of whilst a soul is shaped, so frequently the prior an abortion is played the bigger for the folks who battle with the morality facet on having an abortion five. I feel with rape it is determined by the women alternative even though I agree it is not going to fall at the unborn baby to be punished nonetheless I do not feel the woman who used to be raped must be pressured to have a youngster that she bought pregnant with for this reason of being raped

Answer 3

Well...I think those people are ignorant. They don't really know much about what's really going on in the world. Seriously...they want the child to be born but once they are alive they don't care about them now just because they're alive? You care about them then but why not now? They"re the once who need us most. Ya they're alive but if they end up poor and lacking nutrition they'll die. Im against abortion becuase it's just not right killing a living being even though there not actually born yet. I feel sorry for the children outthere who don't have homes. I've seen child running around streets in the Philippines asking for money or running to there home on the sidewalk. It's not a happy site. People should really do there research before they start to vent out there opinion.

Answer 4

Well, you make some good and valid points about relative expenditures in the US. But that really isn't the point of the pro-life vs. pro-choice debate, is it?

The real crux of the matter is this - either:

1) The fetus is a human being, which means aborting the fetus is murder, or

2) The fetus isn't a human being, which means aborting the fetus is something other than murder (it doesn't necessarily define what it is, just that you're still left with a question).

I realize and sympathize with the difficult consequences of unplanned pregnancy, the permanent changes it has on the mother, etc. But that doesn't change the fact that the above options I've stated are really the 'choice' that the pro-choice platform faces. Not really sure I see any way around it - you have to land on one side or the other of this definition before you can really land on a side of the argument.

Now, in terms of consequences of social welfare, the responsibility of not only the government but society and the other things you cite, I agree with you.

But you haven't dealt with the MAIN question...at least not in your stated opinion.

Best to you.

Answer 5

There are ways to get money to poor children other than taxation. There are many Christian charities that provide support for the poor throughout the world. World Vision and Samaritan's Purse are two examples.

If we can convince a woman considering abortion that there is an alternative, that there is a life within her womb, I don't think that's "forcing our beliefs on other people."

Answer 6

Ever hear of Christian Children's Fund,Feed the Children,World Vision,Samaritan's Purse,Salvation Army,aand a million more ...Plus all the Mid-nite Missions in every large city. You're full of Liberal nonsense,almost every freakin' hospital has some religious affiliation from Presbyterian,Jewish,Catholic,7 th Day Adventist,
Liberal claptrap.What Libs are feeding kids.Only the ones who use MY tax money,and keep their hands out of their own pockets.These above organizations do more than the Govt. could ever do.You have no idea how many churches have homes for pregnant girls and suicide hot lines etc etc...

Answer 7

As a person who realizes the need for legalized abortion (the black market didn't bode so well for the procedure), I am still anti-abortion. I think it's wrong. I'm entitled to that opinion. However, I resent the assumption that people who are against abortion are also against helping poor children. The government doesn't have a great track record in any of its departments. It's full of bureaucratic waste. I prefer to provide help for children through private organizations. I have more faith in their effectiveness. Please don't make such sweeping generalizations without any support for your argument.

Answer 8

God wants every pregnancy to go full term! Every single one is a magic gift from the creator. So says the fundamentalist preacher and he's memorized the Bible, so it must be right, huh?

Same thing with welfare -- God hands out goodies to some and tests others. The government shouldn't interfere with this or play God by making charity a public matter. The Bible says charity and help for the needy, "every good thing," comes from an enlightened (and preferably anonymous) individual.

Answer 9

To you the anti-life
We want to have the innocent life of a child protected from the burning of saline from the total amputation of abortion from the murder of a partially born baby whose brains are sucked out of its head before the head is delivered (partial birth abortion)

We look at the whole picture Mother AND Child you only look at half the picture pro choice in what you see...

When you stop the slaughter of innocent lives THEN you can criticize others!!!!!

Answer 10

Such ignorant, hate-filled rubbish.
There are, in every city, agencies that are devoted ENTIRELY to the care of children following birth. There are agencies which will help mothers buy food during pregnancy and following birth. There are agencies which offer donations of cribs, formula, food, clothing, car seats, whatever.

Maybe you should check out how many non-profit agencies there are out there devoted to ensuring that all children are cared for.
