It is benefiting Elayna, the baby that would have been aborted but now has a chance at life. I see why the mother felt like abortion was the best option, but it is pretty cruel of you to say that that child's life "serves nothing but to cause pain." |
This is a simpleton response. I am adopted. I would be fine if my mother had an abortion... I wouldn't know the difference. But her life would have been much better. I hate how she had to suffer because of her pregnancy with me, how other people treated her like garbage. |
Who is paying to support this child in life? The GOP cuts everyting from neonatal care to SNAP and the list goes on. |
I’m the one who posted the article and I encourage you to at least skim it. It’s a depressing romp through the GOP’s “culture of life.” Her parents started to make more than $39,700 a year and so the family lost their food stamps. Four kids, two parents. There are oodles of examples in the article of the way the GOP screwed them over and guaranteed misery (not the least of which forcing her to give birth to that fourth baby with a classical vertical incision. That pregnancy and delivery must have gone all kinds of sideways, and with her fragile sobriety? Horrifying to force that on someone.) |
That “leave it up to the states” thing collapsed quickly. I know it was always a lie, but they didn’t even pay it lip service before running in with a planned national ban. Not too many months ago it was a 16 week ban Trump and the GOP were floating, which really means getting in there and punishing the blue state women since forced birther states’ more draconian bans would still apply in their states. |
+1 The GOP began to degenerate into stupidity with Newt Gingrich and conservative talk radio and then went from stupidity into sheer insanity with the rise of the Tea Party. It started long before Trump - Trump is just someone who came along, tapped into it, and emboldened, enabled and empowered that stupidity and insanity even further. |
+1 from another adoptee. |
