I'm thinking if you've taken it upon yourselves to tell all females that every time they get pregnant they have to give birth, the least you could do is take responsibility for the consequences. Also, as a male, I'm a little confused by all the whining about men not having an equal say in child birth. Face it, guys. We've been at a biological disadvantage for a long time. If I want to be a father I have to find a woman who loves me enough to want to have my baby. If I need to rely on law, religion, custom or force of intimidation to make a woman have my baby whether she wants to or not...no thanks! The child would probably turn out as screwed up as Jerry Fallwell anyway.

Pro-fetus crowd? Doesn't that presume there is an 'anti-fetus' crowd?

I am a woman and I am pro-life. I firmly believe if a woman is responsible enough to engage in sexual activity then she should bear the responsibility of raising the possible little bundle of consequences, likewise for men.
I do not however feel that it is my responsibility to go out and adopt every crack addicted rugrat that was dropped of at social services. Nor do I feel that it is my responsibility to pay for an abortion for some woman who can't keep her legs closed or remember to take a pill regardless of her financial situation.
As for in the instance of rape; it is not the childs fault and I would have no problem adopting a child that was the product of rape or of providing the mother a stable and safe home and environment during the pregnancy. They are both the victims of a terrible crime and we should not compound it by exploiting their situation.
Quite frankly, if I had unlimited funds like Bill Gates, Donald Trump, etc.. I would have no problem adopting and supporting all of the children I could or at least funding the adoption of these "unwanted" babies to families that do want them.
So, what is the point in your question besides ranting at people who believe life is sacred and has purpose?

I have no idea what the percentage is.
However, I'll say this. What annoys me to no end are the pro-choicers fighting for "a women's right to choose" and the pro-lifers fighting for the "unborn child's rights". Instead of putting all that energy into to these "fixes", why not go after the solution to the problem.
The problem is that people are obviously not informed about not making babies when they don't want a baby. Forget about abortion all together....stop having unprotected sex. I realise there are exceptions to the rule (rape, children who have been abused, etc), but really people. Why create something if you aren't going to take responsibility. There are thousand's of people who desperately want to have children and the waiting list to adopt is long, getting pregnant out of stupidity is an insult and should be embarrassing to that person.
"The Alan Guttmacher Institute reports that in 1973, there were 744,600 abortions. And as Roe's ripples spread through American culture, that number grew. In 1984, there were just under 1.58 million abortions - remember, that's against 3.7 million births. In 1990, there were just over 1.6 million abortions. In 2004, the number dipped down to about 1.3 million abortions."
So many "mistakes". It's sick and very, very sad.

i'm no longer professional-existence, yet i could in simple terms pick to assert that adopting interior the U. S. is somewhat complicated. a individual who i be attentive to went by adopting interior the U. S. thrice and every time, the start mom took the youngster lower back in simple terms till now the top of the era the place they could say they needed the toddler lower back. in spite of each little thing their medical institution costs and each little thing replaced into paid for and her and her husband have been thoroughly related to the toddler. i'm no longer asserting that its impossible, whether it is extremely financially and emotionally draining to objective to try this. thankfully, her husband is Greek and a international criminal expert. She replaced into finally able to undertake, yet from Greece and she or he had to leap by numerous hoops to get him. Even adopting a newborn who isn't a toddler interior the U. S. is extremely complicated with the aid of way the equipment works. This, to me, isn't a valid argument that could be used to bash professional-lifers.

Abortion is murdering an unborn child. The doctors get by scott free. If the pregnant Mother did something herself to abort the baby and the baby died, she would be charged with murder and sent to prison. What on earth is the difference.
It is not a matter of who will take care of the babies, it more a matter of what is considered murder.
