What "Saving Unborn Babies" While Protecting Women's Rights Over Their Bodies Looks Like

[vlyons]

5. We don't need any more unwanted children. We have enough of those already.

That is my bottom line on free, available safe contraception. And when necessary, abortion. Let's get clear about a few facts.

1. The majority of women, who seek abortions, are already mothers. They simply cannot handle more kids for a vast number of reasons. Economic, health, emotional stress. Single mothers already holding down 1 or 2 jobs with no support from the fathers. Mothers who cannot afford more child care or take off time for work. Mothers in an already rocky marriage. Mothers with neglected children. Mothers who know that another baby will bring post partum depression. Mothers without extended family support.

2. No amount of laws will prevent women from aborting babies. Women with money will go on "vacation," where they can get an abortion no problem. Women without money will throw themselves down the stairs, out of windows, drink bleach, or draino, or god-knows-what. Women will visit Aunt Hatpin Hattie and Cousin Coathanger Cathy. Maybe end up dead, leaving their other children motherless.

3. Our planet is simply over-populated with humans. We are destroying our environment. Families with just 1 or 2 children do much better, live better lifestyles than families with 5 or 6 or more kids. Those 1 or 2 kids have a better chance to go to school, be well-fed, and well cared for.
