And all of those babies are in loving caring homes that can afford to take care of them? None of the families were forced to keep them?

I hear your argument, but I also wonder what percentage of people think back and say, “My childhood wasn’t ideal, I wish I had never been born at all.”

A lot. Childhood trauma, more often than not, never goes away.

TBF yeah we don’t hear those people complain because they just kill themselves. But even then, they should be given that choice rather than being murdered before birth.

I think that’s a poor argument for pretty much the exact same reason. Self preservation is very strong among all living creatures. It doesn’t take quality of life or society into consideration.

If we lived in a utopia, it’d be a better argument. We don’t. And forcing those who don’t have the financial capacity to take care of someone, to take care of someone, is just going to force them to make terrible decisions in order to survive. You know, because of self preservation. And that’s only one potential deficit someone could have. Maybe they don’t have the emotional capacity. Maybe they have genetics they don’t want to pass along. Maybe the kid will be disabled. Maybe, whatever million other reasons someone could think of.

Why force someone into a life of hardship from the get go?

I can’t wait for a portion of these 50k babies to be blamed for increase in crime, drug use and poverty.

Do you support the death penalty, or are you too thick to understand the difference between murder and abortion?

I do, I just don’t pretend that fetuses do anything worthy of being put to death.

Edit: bonkers response lol, these are like the worst abortion arguments I’ve heard in my life. If y’all are gonna advocate for murdering babies at least be better at it lollllllll

It will justify their slave labor in prisons. Shame they’re parents had sex without thinking of the consequences.

Heinous to use someone’s tragic image and story beside your headline.

Also, “just” 3 deaths we know of. If you have read literally anything about abortions pre-Roe, I guarantee you that you’re potentially missing at least one and maybe 2 zeros behind that. This also doesn’t account for women who have been irreversibly harmed from attempting to access or perform off-the-books abortion care, or those who have to carry to term a child when pregnancy might harm them.

Also, “only” 3 deaths is still a tragedy. Those people had families. They had friends, coworkers, and lives. At least one of them was literally still a child. Trying to play a numbers game between people dead because of a law and the number of “babies saved” is ghoulish behavior.

So by your hypothetical count with zero support behind it, you could only come up with 300 dead potentially in the absolute worst case scenario vs 50,000 saved. So 49700 lives net.

Why do you want to kill babies? Are you just an evil person?

Where are you getting that 50k number from? Is it based on the number of abortions performed in 2021? You don’t, perhaps, think that women might be getting abortions out of state, or relying on better birth control methods, or are resorting to smuggling in Plan B? You think it’s really a 1-to-1?

Let me turn that around: why are you OK with letting an 18 year old bleed to death, painfully, from what is an absolutely treatable condition because nobody would perform care that was too legally close to an abortion? Why are you OK with women dying and being harmed irreparably?

And on the subject, why are YOU ok with killing babies?

To fight against your misleading propaganda.

Do these children live in happy, healthy homes?

…or are they resented every day by their parents that were forced to have them, slowly building up childhood trauma that, by all studies on the topic, will never be resolved and will always plague them?

…or are they forced into the already-overburdened foster system, where children are regularly abused and neglected? Oh, and just to be clear, you’re aware that Texas has among the most crowded systems in the country, right?

Ohhhh sorry, I forgot you’re all just pro-birth instead of pro-life.

So, what, kill everyone who can’t live in a healthy home?

This mindset is insane and it’s so weird that people who hold it act like they have the moral high ground or something.
