| The hate here is real, people. |
Yes, why do some people hate women so much? |
You mean the little girl babies? |
| I think women are entitled to abortions, but after the first they should be required to keep. Birth control is readily available. |
Yes but it’s not 100% effective. |

If we accept that a mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill each other? Any country that accepts abortions is not teaching people to love but to use any violence to get what they want.

The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.

Read it in context. Remember that this was written in 1920, eight years before we had penicillin G. Strep throat, pneumonia, even ear infections often proved fatal in the first year of life. She wrote about a study that showed the 11th and 12th child in a family were more likely to die in the first year than survive. And that's just the ones who died -- life was suffering for those that survived with morbidity of various causes, even if not mortality. She cited the likelihood of children born in very large families spending much of their lives in debtors' prison or almshouses -- and recall these prisons were closer to Dickens' setup than our own. This was also written almost two decades before the first US child labor laws. Child labor was horrific at that time. You can disagree with her, but she was not arguing from a place of triviality. It was very much a text of the times, when life was nasty and brutish, as well as being short. https://www.bartleby.com/1013/5.html

If you are going to be pro-life, then really be pro-life. |
No, I mean all of the living females of child-bearing age. Your hate is disgusting. |
Little girl (and boy!) babies matter. |
DP How much do they matter after they are born? How much support do you think they are worth after they are born, if their parents are struggling to take care of them? |
Says the person who wants to reduce the social safety net. You people disgust me. How many children go hungry in the US, how many languish in the foster care system, and what are you doing about it? |
Do you supoort guaranteed paid sick leave and paid maternity leave? Do you support free prenatal and postnatal care? Do you support free childcare for low income parents? Make that free child care for any mother forced to give birth against her will - are you willing to pay for that? Do you support free health care for all children? |
