[quote=Anonymous][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 o[b]n this forum who has unhappy birth or family circumstances has committed suicide[/b]. 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]

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

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. [/quote]

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? [b]Do their adoptive parents not [/b]want them?[/quote]

Not my job to be a free surrogate for someone else. [/quote]
