[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. First, I don't think all abortion should be illegal. But the OP's post is pretty silly. It assumes that it's the government's responsibility to provide not just a safety net (which is fine, and I [b]have not heard anyone lobbying to remove[/b]) but everything for the kid-- food, childcare, housing, etc. 
In the OP's scenario, replace "unwanted pregnant" with "have a six month old and it's so much harder than I thought" and the mom can't make ends meet. Is the solution still to end the life of the child? If no, why not? How is having an unwanted infant different from having an unwanted fetus or embryo? You will say because someone else can care for the child, but that's no different from giving birth then relinquishing the child.

Anyway, the answer would be, what people did before Obamacare (which is brand new, so I'm not sure why people act like not having it is taking away some long-standing right): get help from charities and friends/family, and go on Welfare/kids on Medicaid. I'm not saying this is ideal at all. But it is not starving to death in the street. [/quote]

You haven't heard anyone lobbying to remove the safety net? Seriously? You must be hearing-challenged then.[/quote]

To remove any and all welfare, Medicaid, etc? No, I haven't heard that from any mainstream candidates of either party, but I welcome links to articles saying otherwise. [/quote]
