1. Great point, but idiots will just say that family and

church will help them through it.

[msfiddlestix]

2. Actually she has another choice the Religious Fascists Zealot Justices will argue. adoption

this is not an option she should have to make either.

9. As someone who had a baby at 17, let me just say...

I never felt that I was sexy again, because all my friends had flat, tight tummies well into their 20s or 30s, and I always had that baby belly. It really fucked with my self-esteem for a looooong time.

11. ✔️

had mine when I was nearly 21. in 1971. just on the eve of RvW. and pro-choice movement.

I wanted that child. But later came an unwanted pregnancy. I was grateful to have a choice.

3. The GOP wants to take the baby to sell to the domestic market.

They are not planning on teens raising children.

[FoxNewsSucks]

10. I really don't understand why they want so many babies

to be born. The world is overcrowded. They don't want to fund programs for the poor. They don't want foreigners coming here (if they're poor).

So why the hell create circumstances that will produce so many more pregnancies among the people they look down on?

It makes no sense.

12. cuz Jezus might be aborted

his second coming is believed to arrive as an infant.


Religious fanatics are worried he might be aborted.

16. soldiers, for the army, for wars.

21. Because babies are profitable

Ever checked into how much it costs to adpot? Adoption is nothing more than legalized human trafficking. It's all about the $$$$

"Generally, for families adopting a baby through a private agency, the average cost of adoption in the U.S. is somewhere around $70,000. While costs may vary on an individual basis, families typically spend in this range on the adoption process.

28. They want WHITE babies born in large numbers

so whites will outnumber "minorities."

It ain't gonna happen.

[JI7]

30. It's not really about babies . It's about controlling and putting limits and restrictions on women

[Beaverhausen]

22. Correction: The GOP wants to take the white babies to sell on the domestic market

fixed it for you

[Irish_Dem]

25. Yep that is correct.

Thnx!

[intheflow]

24. Yep! They want child trafficking made legal

so they can raise/brainwash kids to be whatever the right wants them to be. Example: Boys can be athletes and bank presidents, girls can be vessels to hold sperm. Gay people can be made straight (by beating the gay out of them, if necessary), Blacks and other colored folk can work without pay, and while they're at it, might as well reopen the Indian boarding schools. This is the glorious future they dream of.

4. nevermind 16yo's

there are lots of 20's, 30's, 40's that couldn't adopt... for various reasons

[Emile]

5. Spot on!

[Cracklin Charlie]

6. Oh, I like this tack.

[Trust_Reality]

7. (Related) How about classifying abortion as a sin, but not a crime??

And wonderful news: You (they) have the wonderful freedom not to have an abortion.

[dlk]

8. The cruelty is the point; logic and reason don't matter

Republicans want to harm women and girls.

[Rebl2]

13. They are

betting the girls family will help her or she will put child up for adoption.

[onecaliberal]

14. Someone ask the red state reps that question, and keep asking it.

[Ilsa]

15. No, she has to give up her baby to a rich infertile couple.

They may throw a few bucks at her and tell her to go make something of herself.

[OverBurn]

17. Why they want so many babies, if the Dems are just gonna eat them.

20. 😅

Seriously tho, I think they want a big, cheap labor supply to make themselves richer.

[ancianita]

18. 16 year-olds can't even sign valid contracts.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

19. Not just a 16 year old.

But a 13 year old, an 11 year old, and even younger.

26. 13 y/o girls (and younger) having babies.

13 y/o girls (and younger) having babies.

All of those pregnant children carrying a 'blessing from God' acc to republicans.

And they want the rapist to have parental rights.

27. Isn't that the truth?

Not only is a 16 yr old, or younger, unable to financially support a baby, she doesn't have the emotional stability. If she decides to keep the baby, the burden falls on her family.

I have a good friend, who was just presented with a fourth baby from her daughter. Each one is by a different father. She has been in and out of jail on drug charges. Can't hold down a job. My friend and her husband legally adopted the first two--taking on two newborns to raise when they should be thinking about retirement. Her niece adopted #3, and looks like she will also be taking this 4th one. At least this time, the daughter finally had her tubes tied. Its been heartbreaking. Even though these four children will be raised well, and very much loved, I'm sure there will be so many babies born now that will not be so lucky if RvW is overturned.

Should the daughter have had abortions (or for gawdsakes--some contraception!)? It was her body, her decisions. She was legally of age. But financially and emotionally? No way.

31. These people "allow" their 16 year old daughters to get married and have kids.
