The majority of women had an abortion because of financial situations, relationship problems, having a baby would change their lifestyle, or they don’t want people to know they had sex or were pregnant.

Only 13% of those who had an abortion said it was due to health or rape, even though what you hear is that the central focus of abortion is women’s health. The majority of abortions are not for those reasons.

Planned Parenthood has done a great propaganda campaign for the past few decades.

Apparently they’re doing something right, because abortion rates are at historic lows.

No, they aren't.

Because you don't feel like they are, or because you have data on this?

Results: A total of 638,169 abortions for 2015 were reported to CDC from 49 reporting areas. Among these 49 reporting areas, the abortion rate for 2015 was 11.8 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years, and the abortion ratio was 188 abortions per 1,000 live births. From 2014 to 2015, the total number of reported abortions decreased 2% (from 652,639), the abortion rate decreased 2% (from 12.1 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years), and the abortion ratio decreased 2% (from 192 abortions per 1,000 live births). From 2006 to 2015, the total number of reported abortions decreased 24% (from 842,855), the abortion rate decreased 26% (from 15.9 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years), and the abortion ratio decreased 19% (from 233 abortions per 1,000 live births). In 2015, all three measures reached their lowest level for the entire period of analysis (2006–2015).

Everyone is wanted by someone. Being unwanted doesn’t justify your death.

So, you must be born. If your parents actually give a shit doesn’t matter.

There are plenty of parents who never should have reproduced who just brought pain and suffering on their children until they were killed by those who were supposed to care.

Spare me the “everyone is wanted by someone” nonsense. It is just not true.

Even if someone is not wanted by anyone, it still doesn’t justify their death. Just because someone’s future looks bleak, you will never really know what happens unless you let their life play out. Yes, a lot a children are born into suffering, but not all of them.

Go help the people already suffering. Once they are all ok then we can talk abortions.

We will never get rid of all the suffering of those already alive on Earth, it’s not realistic. Does that mean we should ignore the topic of abortion forever?

Tell that to the couples who wait years to adopt a healthy infant.

What about the babies with poor prenatal care.

Maybe alcohol or drug use during the pregnancy?

Maybe black?

Are they lining up for all babies? If not, then STFU.

I can speak to this, as I have two friends who adopted "unwanted" kids. One couple took a teen from foster care. Another couple - white - adopted a black baby with a drug addicted birth mother.

Poor prenatal care - there's no excuse these days. Services are affordable. It's up to the mother (or couple) to be responsible enough to take responsibility on their end. But services are available.

Stop making excuses. You're part of the problem.
