About half of everyone who has an abortion reports to using birth control.
Ejaculating inside a woman's ying-yang without a condom because she's on the pill isn't enough protection to mitigate all pregnancy risks. If you used the pill, use a condom, and then use the rhythm method the odds of pregnancy are zero or very close to zero.
Getting an abortion is taking responsibility.
No it isn't. Engaging in risky behaviour because it's fun without using the proper precautions when life and death of another human is at stake isn't being responsible at all. Abortion is taking the most convenient and selfish way out after making a severe mistake. It's buyer's remorse. What's the reason to sympathize with the rights of the woman & partner over the rights of the baby? The parents puts themselves in this situation, the baby didn't. The baby is 100% innocent. The baby is the victim, not the mother. Do you understand this? I'm not the bad guy here I can assure you.
800,000 unborn humans are killed every year due to abortion. Stack them inside a big room and look inside and what would you think? It's like a genocide against the unwanted unborn, and I'm trying to prevent this from happening.
As I said, I'm not even so much against abortion, I'm more against what leads to abortions, which is irresponsible sexual behaviour. I'm not ok with people having risky orgasms, creating a life, then killing it. It's ethically reprehensible.
It's also telling that you see being forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term with all the risks that entails, and then potentially having one's life derailed forever as a justifiable and proportional punishment for having sex.
My goal isn't to punish anyone. I also understand the major consequences on the mother's life of raising a child. But I also understand the consequences for the baby, which is death. People don't get to understand the consequences on the mother for raising an unwanted child, but downplay or ignore the consequences of having risky sex.
IMO the solution isn't abortions. It's constant education on safe sex, sex ed., and the life and death consequences of risky sex, and access to affordable or free birth control. It's parents and teachers and governments drilling this stuff into their kids heads. Fact: In NYC there are more black children aborted annually than are born. That's a public health crisis and a human rights crisis and an unsafe sex crisis.
Also one of the most common reasons for abortions are because the woman is not able to afford a child (and a significant proportion of those who have abortions are already parents btw). So the fact you don't care about the circumstances in which these children would be born into says a lot.
Of course I care. That's a reason I want to eliminate unwanted abortions as much as possible. If you can't afford kids then don't engage in risky sex. There's NO EXCUSES for it. Condoms are cheap or free. The pill isn't expensive. If you can't afford them don't have sex. If you're scared to go to the doctor then don't have sex, it's not an excuse. Time for people to adult the eff up when there's lives on the line.
It comes down to behaving responsibly and accepting and/or mitigating risks. It's called taking responsibility for your actions. It's called "delaying gratification". This is the very essence of what it means to be an adult. You don't get to have your cake and eat it too, and flush the "problem" down the toilet. It says a lot that this behaviour doesn't seem to outrage you and others as much or more than pro-lifers do.
Indeed most pro-lifers don't care about supporting mothers or kids once the thing has cleared the birth canal. A great example of the rank hypocrisy of the pro life movement is the anti-abortion activist Abby Johnson who had two abortions herself before pivoting to the lucrative prolife grift and a life that would not have been possible if she hadn't been able to get abortions in the first place.
Yes there's many pro-lifers and conservatives in general who are stupid and/or a-holes. As I said, i'm sure there's some pro-lifers who do just want to "control women". I don't really associate with these types. Bad pro-life arguments don't invalidate my arguments.
I don't consider myself a "conservative", even if I have some conservative social views. I'm economically left of center or centrist (i'm -4, -4 on the Political Compass), I believe in universal healthcare, affordable education like in Canada, strictly curtailing political donations & lobbying, reducing income inequality, support gay marriage and any rational LGBT rights etc. So I'm not a neoliberal in supporting mothers and children.
