Open Forum: Unwanted babies

Posted: June 23, 2011 - 4:33pm

I had a discussion with a woman about abortion. She stated something to the effect that it’s better to abort baby than to bring it into the world unwanted. 

I wonder how many times parents have found out they’re expecting and don’t want to have a baby at first, only later on, not be willing to trade that child for the world.

Gosh Patrick

Your right. I wonder why there are so many orphanges and abandoned children not to mention those that are just killed outright. They must have not read your letter.

If the Republicans didn't

If the Republicans didn't constantly tell us that they were the Party of Life we'd never guess it.

The funding cut for birth control is going to increase the number of abortions in the US just like it did overseas when they cut family planning funding during the Bush administration. That caused an increase in abortions estimated to be more than 200,000 according to the UN.

Is the writer, Patrick,

A child or an adult? I have read his letters before and wondered.

the spending on entitlements is going to bankrupt us

the spending on entitlements is going to bankrupt us, just like it is everywhere else.

Maybe have a little self control. Maybe look in the mirror. Maybe abstain from sex?

I am so sick of libbies whining that it is cut in birth control and other entitlements are always the problem.

Maybe it is the person that puts the condom on or the person that swallows the pill and all the people that do the deed that are at fault, what you think fish?

Have you ever thought of that?

I am the right side of the road, but I have a question... o is it my fault that a couple does not want to get pregnant but still consensually breed and she gets knocked up?

It wasnt my seed! I wasnt their pushing him from behind! I didnt hold them at gun point to have intercourse. I didnt offer to pay them to have intercourse. They did it on their own without using the brain given to them, but since I dont want all this spending and do not want to go bankrupt as a country it is my fault right? WRONG FISHY, not my fault.

We all know what causes pregnancy. If you dont, then your liberal teachers failed in teaching you sexual reproduction in school.

If you dont want the pregnancy, dont do what it takes to make a baby, or is that too much to ask? Is that above the educational level of the lefties?

The GOP Party seems to have their head in the sand

The closing of the Planned Parenhood clinic in Brainerd MN as well as other locations in Minnesota is a very sad state of affairs. The GOP Congress in DC are charging at windmills. The value of Planned Parenthood has been well documented over many ,many years. We need to move forward ,NOT BACK TO THE 1960s. Wake up out there , the only way to make BAD POLICIES go away ,is to make politically motivated elected officials go away, get out and vote in 2012.

Simple fact of the matter

is that we have a 190 to 100 debt ratio. Meaning that we spend $190 to every $100 we take in and that is an unsubstainable amount. Cuts are going have to be made and those cuts are going to be much, much deeper than a planned parenthood office being closed. The cries of "tax the rich" aren't going to do it but wait for the howls when we have to increase taxes on the rich, middle class and the 50% of the people that don't pay a dime.

You realize that Planned Parenthood is a private company right?

You do understand that they chose to abort their operations in multiple towns. You do realize that their corporate cuts significantly outweighed the amount of gubmint monies they are no longer getting, right?

Captron, meet sand; Sand, captron's head.

"We all know what causes pregnancy. If you dont, then your liberal teachers failed in teaching you sexual reproduction in school."
So, there are no conservative biology teachers to teach reproduction?
I hope there are conservative parents who teach their kids. That's a lot of pressure on liberals to educate the entire population.

Psssst. Most of us don't need training in how to produce. You see, it comes natural. Are you trying to tell us something?

the problem isn't

reproducing, it is not reproducing when you don't want to.

Ever since religious leaders

Ever since religious leaders invented marriage hundreds of years ago there have been children born out of wedlock.

Ever since the first humans walked upright thousands of years ago there have been unplanned children.

After all that time has passed the cons still can't seem to grasp that "just say no" doesn't work as well as birth control.

Making birth control harder to get IS going to increase the number of unwanted pregnancies and it IS going to increase the number of abortions. That has been shown to be true over and over and over and over.... Studies have shown that abortions go up when the Republicans are in control.

Still the cons remain clueless and married to their ideology over reality.

We either help low income women access to birth control or we pay more in child support. The former is cheaper but that doesn't fit the ideology of the penny wise (cut birth control access to save some money) and pound foolish (pay far more for far longer) to help raise the children produced.
