You can't talk about abortion without talking about the conditions that brought it to that dire state. Abortion is some last resort shit. If contraception was free/very easily accessible, folks romanticized raw sex less, education on contraceptive methods was improved.. I believe abortion would be negligible in numbers. I wish attention would be redirected to making that happen.
My only beef with pro-lifers is that instead of trying to prevent abortions via preventing unwanted pregnancies, they go the lazy route n try to make abortions illegal. Like that accomplishes anything other than boosting the vile back alley abortion industry.
I guess it comes down to: do u believe dying before your nervous system has developed (n therefore cannot feel pain) to be a worse fate than the worst case scenario of the homes these kids will go to?
I need to read up on it but I'd wager a guess that kids born to parents who didn't want them and would've aborted given the chance - may even resent the fact that they couldn't - r more likely to not be treated well.
Child abuse is already too damn common. The foster system leaves a lot to be desired. Child poverty went up in a lot of places following the recession, n in a society without a social safety net you're gonna get people struggling to keep a roof over their heads.
Would someone with 0 resources, 0 support system and 0 desire to raise the child be doing them good by bringing them into the world when u know u can't offer them basic human rights? Private adoptions aren't easy to coordinate n u can get arrested abandoning a newborn at the fire station if someone catches u.
Putting the ethics argument on when a fetus is a person aside, I'm legit worried about the quality n maybe even safety of the lives some of these unwanted pregnancies are gonna lead to.
I remember reading that most women who abort already have kids. I'd imagine they've thought about a child's right to live in the past if they didn't opt to abort the first time round. I can't see why a mother would abort a subsequent child unless they had compelling reasons, as inconceivable as they may be to u n I.

Good question. I'll play devils advocate.
