[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a wide variety of reasons why someone may choose abortion. That is a serious decision for that person and her doctor to make. Not me. And certainly not the government.

The thing that I don't get is why pro-lifers stop caring about that life after it's born. [/quote]

Why do you think they don't care?

Also I said that I am okay with abortion for extremely unfortunate circumstances. If a pregnancy is not viable or a danger to the mother, that is okay and should be legal everywhere. My issue is with[b] frivolous [/b]abortions.[/quote]

Where are the pro-lifers pushing for welfare benefits? Adopting foster children? Other services that help children?

And "frivolous" is arbitrary. It's a decision for the woman and her doctor. Your opinion doesn't matter. [/quote]

Not saying that all pro-lifers follow all these points, but I cannot understand how someone can believe the following:

1. No birth control. Conflicts with our role in public vs private.
2. No abortions. I believe it is against my faith and no one else should be able to do it.
3. No public support/welfare. Costs too much money to the tax payer and these parents should make their own decisions.
4. No abandoning kids and single parent homes. Horrible parenting.
5. These children are hoodlums that are threats to society.
6. Wash, rinse, repeat.

This administration has introduced policy to define life at the point of FERTILIZATION. That is basically trying to overturn Roe v Wade.
FWIW, I am a believer in God and Christ.

I suggest you read 'thinking fast and slow' is some of the other works by/about Daniel Kahneman, Amos Tversky, the psychology of decision making, etc.  long answer short: humans aren't rational thinkers.[/quote]
