Every child deserves to be wanted.

This thread should have been aborted a long time ago. There is nothing new to discuss here. There are three camps:
1) Everything regarding an unborn child is a woman's choice and anyone trying to take away that choice is a misogynist. (Most)
2) An unborn mass of cells, fetus, etc. is a human and that life should be preserved at all costs. Anyone aborting or practicing abortion is evil. (Many)
3) Until the 24th week of gestation, abortion is acceptable and legal, but after that point should be illegal except in cases of legitimate health concerns for mother or child. (Some)

What else is there to discuss?

pro choice = pro child abuse?

It’s a running theme that is sickening. Not all pro choice people think child abuse is ever an option.

You are being dense.

What happens is thus: people who are forced to have children they don't want resent them. It's human nature. The parents are angry, there's not enough money typically, there may have been a forced marriage.

They try to love these unwanted children they were forced to have, buy the gun the forced bithers put to their head wrecks the parent child relationship.

Nobody on this forum who has unhappy birth or family circumstances has committed suicide. If given a choice, they have continue life. Saying a baby should be killed rather than be born into possibly less then optimal circumstances is a ludicrous and false. If that were true, the unhappy people here would have ended their own lives. No one has a perfect life or childhood or is born into perfection. We don’t kill unhappy, poor people because their lives aren’t fabulous.

The GOP forced birthers are actively trying to take away women’s rights right now. There is plenty to discuss.

This forum is largely privileged UMC folks, including myself. But lots of folks commit suicide.

The many, many states that are passing laws in opposition to fifty years of legal precedent? Florida, the third largest state, passed a 15-week ban and there’s been zero coverage of it in the “liberal media.”

The poor and miserable in this country are absolutely killing themselves. Look at the overdose rate. Look at the rates of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disorders. And in my circles at least, this includes several people who were adoptees. It appears that even a loving home can’t save folks from the fundamental trauma of not being wanted.

I have a child born into a happy marriage when I was 32 who has a a panoply of special needs. If I had given birth to this child when I was pregnant and unmarried at 19 I would have absolutely killed myself by now. The only way I have been able to take proper care of him and myself is with the education, experience, family and financial support that I have now but didn’t have then.

You supposing you’d kill yourself is just words you type. You don’t know what you’d actually do in another situation and your “I’d kill myself!” drama isn’t evidence that any babies should be aborted.

No one has a perfect or always happy or easy life. No one has perfect parents or circumstances. Using the lack of perfection in life as an excuse to abort babies is garbage. No one posting here is taking their own life because of hardship or struggles, but are fine with pre-judging the entire life of a baby and saying “oh no his/her life might be hard, better to kill him/her.”

The vast majority of the world is poor. Are you aware wealth isn’t the answer to happiness to all people? Some people value other things in life above wealth.

So we don’t think poor people should live? Is that it?

I am adopted. I don’t know my bio mom. I was 4 days old when adopted, and have no thoughts about how I was unwanted. My parents wanted me.

How do children adopted as days or weeks old newborns have trauma of being unwanted? How do they recall such things? Do their adoptive parents not want them?
