Again, are you implying that one persons life is more important than another's? Also, don't make such ridiculous claims. I didn't have a father growing up and I did just fine. No I'm implying that it's unethical to bring people into this world when you know that their life would be miserable. It's unethical to force a woman to have a child that she isn't prepared for, wasn't intending on having, and can not support. It is but unethical to the life of the child and the mother. Also your anectdotal evidence is hardly convincing. Children who grew up without fathers twice as likely to end up in jail. 63% of all youth suicides are from fatherless homes, 85% of children who have behavioural disorders are from fatherless homes, 71% of all high school dropouts did not have a father in the home, 70% of juveniles in detention come from father less homes. These poor souls are also more likely to experience gender identity confusion, they are likely to be more aggresive, less likely to strive for higher education and more likely to end up in jail. This is pretty common knowledge for anyone who has researched the subject. These statistics are pulled from this site http://fatherhood.about.com/od/fathersrights/a/fatherless_children.htm Which is uses many reputable sources. And again, I don't see how we should make exceptions to rules. So, let's say she could easily take care of the kid but didn't want to, would you not allow her to abort? I'm going to presume you're OK with abortion in any case, ergo, don't use the economy as a reason to support it. |
Your presumptions are based on false stereotypes of the pro-choice crowd. Abortion is a last resort option, like war, it should only be used when it is necessary. The other side of the aisle always tries to paint the pro-choice crowd as being pro-abortion but this is a completely false accusation, I don't know a single person (except maddox) that is for killing babies. The best scenario is one in which abortion never happens, but not because we don't allow it but because we don't need to resort to it.
