[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, for the pro-life folks, see the “cost of having an infant threads.” People have to budget for basic things like formula and clothes. You have rich folks buying clothes on Thredup for the baby because of how expensive childcare is. [/quote]
But the thing is, women forced to bear children they don’t want aren’t necessarily going to treat them well, and even if they do, the woman and her existing children are going to suffer. It’s just an unnecessary nightmare all around. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]
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.[/quote]

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.”[/quote]
Motherhood should be voluntary.[/quote]
