helping save the lives of those babies who are now likely very glad they were bornI have met many people who hated their lives for many reasons. What makes you think these children won't?
Some of the reasons include:
- parents didn't want the children
- children grew up poor
- children grew up with disabilities
- children were put up for adoption
- the world is becoming uninhabitable for the children's children
I can't imagine how someone could feel good about birthing a baby without also giving all of the necessary safeties. And that's just looking at the children's perspective. What about the parents'?
Can you imagine having been raped, then being forced to carry an unwanted child to term, and then also being forced to pay child support to the rapist?
Can you imagine wanting a child but then discovering that the child will be stillborn or worse: born with debilitating defects that you aren't capable of dealing with?
If you want children then go have children. If you don't want children... then why should you be forced to?
> my default is that you really shouldn’t be killing your offspring or cutting up your insides unless you are removing something like cancer or shrapnel.
Indeed! Sometimes the baby is literally dying for reasons outside of your control. But without Roe v Wade then we cannot legally abort. A dying fetus can cause sepsis and death to the mother. That's certainly "something like cancer or shrapnel" in my book.
I had a lot of head-burying opinions too until I had a long and deep conversation with a female friend about politics. She had the patience to listen to what I had to say with the knowledge and experience necessary to provide alternate views. I suggest that you ask the women around you what they think. Don't stop at one or two. Really listen to them. Listen to their perspectives and their opinions. Try to put yourself in their shoes.
You will find that their perspectives and opinions differ from yours. You might even find that they enjoy things that you think should be sacred. You're not wrong and neither are they. But what is wrong is to force your morals and opinions onto them.
