I've gotta say that this is the worst argument ever in favor of abortion. Here's your choice: (1) don't live at all, or (2) be in a horribly sh*tty situation that you might/might not escape. Every human being ever would choose door #1. The "abortion is saving kids from sh*tty lives" argument is preposterous. |
This shows she’s popular on the right and won’t lose a primary. But the general election? She was a moderate and the other Senator is I, caucus Dem. Isn’t Maine pretty moderate? These heartbeat bills won’t help her once the Dems finally settle in a candidate. I’d be interested to see her popularity with likely voters. |
Except people who commit suicide. That act tends to suggest they might have preferred 2. |
You’re right. I don’t get to decide the standards. You don’t either. The mother gets to decide if she can handle pregnancy and having a child. See how that works? |
That isn’t true though. I have heard adults say their parents were incompetent and should never have had kids, including them. Adults angry that their parents brought them into horrible situations. Get out of your bubble. |
Actually California ranks dead last in educational attainment. California: % HS grads: 79.5% rank: 50 % Bachelor degree: 21.0% rank: 50 % advanced degree: 7.5% rank 50 Alabama: % HS grads: 85.3% rank 43% % Bachelor: 24.5% rank 44 % Advanced: 9.1% rank 40 |
Tiny minority, and only after the fact. At the time of decision, literally everyone would choose door #1. |
Ridiculous argument. Saying someone "should never have had kids" does NOT equal "I wish that my parents had aborted me." Obvious to even the meanest understanding. Good lord. Gratuitous bubble comment disregarded. |
Er, yes. That's what some adults say and mean. |
This isn’t true; you know that right? Holocaust survivors alone prove that most people choose 2. |
The woman gets to decide if she is ready to have a baby. She might end a pregnancy during college, then go on and have 3 babies when she is married and has a solid career. if she just had that first pregnancy and eventual baby, maybe she wouldn't go on to have those other three babies! Doesn't every possible child deserve to be born? Surely those other three babies would have wanted to be born. Who are you to say she should have one baby now instead of three babies later? You are nobody to say that. The woman gets to say when her body is used to make a baby. Not you. |
Sorry. They don't "deserve" anything until they are born. |
Too bad; the kids don't get a choice. They aren't born yet or aware of what might have been. |
| Nothing wrong with leaving the legality of abortion to individual states. |
Who are you talking about? I don't currently decide which woman has an abortion or keeps her child. Do you think that, in the near or far future, somehow that will happen? You're just making up fantasies. |
