If you want to abolish abortion?

Question

Would you be willing to provide for:

-Clinics that provide health care for the women who have done back-alley abortions?
-Foster care/adoption programs?
-Orphanages?
-Health care for children without homes?

...and other such programs?

Would you vote for tax increases in order to provide for those children? Would you give of yourself to make adoption less expensive or easier?

I've spoken with many people who aren't okay with abortion, but haven't even considered this aspect.

Prevention education might help, but it won't stop people who don't care.

This is a serious question. If you outlaw abortion, the numbers of children without homes WILL GO UP. Prevention education won't help them get rid of the flu.

Yes, prevention education might help some, but it won't stop the problem. It's about compromise with relative humanity.

Answer 1

Or how about this ...

Since you love the babies so much, why don't you take on a few yourself? Think of all the poor screaming infants. In the middle of the night. Relying on you for 18, 20, 30 years.

Don't worry, you can take comfort in the fact that you'll be doing God's work.

Answer 2

No body wants to abolish abortion, they just want women to stop using it soley as a form of birth control and to use other avenues (such as adoption) instead.

Most everyone will agree there are legitimate cases where an abortion is the best route to go (Rape, possible death of mother, etc.), however, they feel that someone getting knocked up and just not wanting to go through with having a kid for superficial reasons is wrong.

Heather,

while education may seem like a noble idea, it is only effective if people actively seek it. Sadly, the problem with most of the "underprivileged areas" is education is viewed as unnecessary, and often, pointless and stupid by a lot of the common wealth in the area.

Answer 3

I have the solution to the abortion issue....here it is...

1. Make abortion illegal, except in cases of rape or sexual molstation.

2. Take a nationwide census of every individual (of legal age...16 or older) with the focus on determining if the individual is pro-life or pro-choice.

3. If the individual is pro-life, they're given a number.

4. Every child who is in the foster care system, or orphanages is given a number.

5. Every child whose parents are unable or unwilling to care for them, and want to give the children up for adoption, is given a number....

6. Pair up the number of the child, with the number of the individual. If there is are more children than there are pro-life individuals, then overlap the process, assigning multiple children to a single pro-life individual.

7. Each pro-life individual is responsible for the well being of the children assigned to them until the child is able to care for themselves, at the age of 18. NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

8. Forced adoption is the law of the land and must be caried out by all pro-life individuals.

This way, those who don't want to be parents don't have to be, and are free to exercise their sexual freedom at will.

The pro-life movement is putting their pro-life money where their pro-life mouths are, and are taking care of all the unwanted children and infants that would have either been aborted or placed in foster care or orphanages.

There will be no foster care system, because all of the children who were in foster care have been assigned individuals to raise them. There will be no orphanages, because all the children in the orphanages have been assigned individuals to raise them.

Sound a bit harsh? Well, desperate times call for desperate measures.

Answer 4

I think abortion is distasteful. But then I think all meat is distasteful. Ground up human meat is particularly so since I empathize with humans a bit more than I do with hamburger.

I think sex without a concern for the consequences (without responsibility) is wrong and such people should be fixed. We fix pets out of humanitarian reasons, I should think fixing people would even be stronger humanitarian reasons. Unwanted pets is sad enough, unwanted children is monumentally worse.

From a moral standpoint, euthanizing animals is worse than fixing them. After all, killing is worse than cutting off procreation (or am I wrong?).

Isn't it strange that we find euthanizing fetuses more acceptable than sterilizing irresponsible prospective parents?

We basically find killing more acceptable than fixing.

I say, lets not subsidize abortions. Instead, lets subsidize sterilization. It is a longer lasting solution.

Answer 5

I would say yes to all the above to abolish abortion. Also, why should people have to pay to adopt? Is that not like buying/selling a slave in the old days? It should be free. Paying court costs to legally change the child's name should be the only cost. Many people would adopt if the price didn't start @ $10,000.00 and up. That's ridiculous!!!!!!!! That's a full third of our yearly income.

Answer 6

I'm pro-life but do not believe abortion should be outlawed. I do monetarily support such organizations now. That being said, if there were never one abortion performed, there would be a lot more people today to support such causes.

Answer 7

There are long waiting lists for people seeking to adopt babies.

Yes, I think the adoption process should be less complicated.

I can't think of anything better than my taxes going to help families adopt a baby that has been spared being brutally aborted because carrying him/her full term would be inconvenient to a pregnant woman.

A condom or other contraceptive measure would have prevented the whole thing. How selfish to have sex thinking how easy an abortion will be if one gets pregnant. It is a pitiful statement on our nation.

Abortion is, and always will be, murder.

Answer 8

I would love to see less of a NEED for abortion.
Yes I would gladly vote for my tax dollars to be pumped into real sex educationg in povery stricken ghettos, where the pregnancy rates are the highest.
Also all of the things noted above. I believe in the trickle down effect thought. Start with prevention and abortion numbers will naturally go down.
People "understand" absitinence but not every one believes in no sex before marriage. My religion doesn't Oh wait! I forgot, we are all supposed to think like Christians.

Answer 9

People can understand abstinence.
There is such a thing as 'failed abstinence'.
I.e. you had the intent to be abstinent, but it failed as your 'birth control.'
There's a statistic somewhere that says places with abstinence only sex education, have a much higher pregnancy rate than those who also teach the use of birth control.

Sorry, but with 11 year olds nowadays having sex, I would rather not see abortion illegalized.

Answer 10

YES I WOULD- - I would actually vote for an increase if this is really what the tax reform would do. Planned parenthood says they do not take any of our tax money- I beg to differ, thousands and thousands go to them every year.
