    A child could push a family into poverty and devastate siblings’ futures.

    A child can also be put up for adoption btw.

      Which often means shoving them into massively underfunded institutions, that are full of corruption and abuse, making it a less than ideal alternative.

        Nah I’m ok. If she wanted an abortion she should have gotten one in the 20 weeks where she’s legally allowed to. Doesn’t seem like a hard thing to do.

            You know this is a stupid argument, right? I’m not looking to adopt a kid. Many, many, many people are.

              It’s easy to force a woman to act as a living incubator when you’re not impacted by it.

                Know what’s even easier? Not getting pregnant if you don’t want a baby.

                I’m 100% pro abortion btw, just not “no restrictions at all” abortions. There is literally no excuse for someone to not get an abortion in the first 20 weeks of a pregnancy if they want an abortion.

                  Yeah, not wanting a baby magically protects you from failed contraceptives and rapes.
