Ask anyone you encounter who is against abortion "How many babies have you adopted?"

99 times out of 100 you hear the sound of crickets.

It's not normally incels doing the raping, I would say that's extremely rare considering how many have anxiety and problems socializing with women in the first place outside of bitching about or at them online.

Adopting a newborn is competitive and expensive, usually costing nearly 50 thousand dollars in the U.S., with the matching process taking years for many who wish to adopt. While many people would be willing to adopt a newborn who would have otherwise been aborted, cost, not morality, is often the issue.

Your premise, like the title of this post, is uniformed and oversimplified. You expect to hurdurdur your way through a complex topic, which is depressingly common.

RBG had no such simplified position. She understood the complexity very well and had this to say

    Compared to actually losing a baby, it's not in the same ballpark.

    [–]ethiopia 4 insightful - 4 fun4 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 4 fun -  (0 children)

    that's a combination of factors, one being that complications during pregnancy and losing a pregnancy are more common, and also because people value a little baby over a fetus.

    that isn't a good argument for abortion being moral.

    look don't get me wrong, i'm down with the radfem arguments, coming from a very marxist background, reproductive labor, etc. I just view society, the world, from a different epistemological/philosophical standpoint than purely marxist (materialist/atheist) point. Although I have learned much from it.

    I don't believe that it is a political issue, women ending their pregnancies. I think it is a moral issue. And I am allowed to have a moral disagreement. From a more reasoning perspective, I think it is absolutely ridiculous to women giving up their incredible power in creating life, educating their children, in favor of public education, propoganda/waste of time college, and a job that makes you just another worker. So I am in favor of traditional households, and what I mean by that isn't "mother rears, father brings home $$" I mean both parents, their extended families, are investing as much time into the children, emphasis on self-sustainability. Obviously very few people in the cosmopolitan world are in this position, but that's why we are in this shit situation to begin with.

    this isn't even taking into account the eugenics part of birth control and abortion, and push towards promscuity

    Oh yeah, some statistically tiny group gets abortions are from rape. That means all rape babies have the guilt of their fathers and should be murdered because of it.

        They literally dont care.

        And tonnes of men are the (serious) victims of kept-children. Fact. Its even like a social meme.

        The fact is the abortion issue is an ethical one in which women and men are both split on the issue. Women 50/50.

        lol this is such a stupid argument. most men who are out pumping and dumping girls unprotected don't want them to have babies. if a woman doesn't want offspring, use some of that health-destroying oral contraceptive, or an IUD, or plan B, or condoms. or maybe just maybe don't be so promiscious and wait for someone you want to build a family with to have unprotected sex.

        Your comment doesn't follow any logic. A blanket statement and pathetic Strawman. Maybe men want children because they simply want offspring. It's not some ridiculous conspiracy to disempower women. It could easily be argued having children ultimately empowers women.

        In today's world where there are 20+ types of birth control, 5 cent condoms (even free ones at every health clinic), easy access to sex education online, apps to track your cycle, cheap ovulation tests, and even the morning after pill, is abortion really THAT essential when there are already 20+ choices (many non-invasive) and the knowledge of risk? Not to mention that there are plenty of non-PIV ways to be intimate if you're ovulating.

        In a perfect world we'd have lots of choices and 0 abortions. Maybe one day we'll strive for that, especially since abortion is not 100% healthy for the woman getting one (physically and mentally), and can honestly be quite traumatic and cause infertility issues down the line.

        [–]jet199 10 insightful - 1 fun10 insightful - 0 fun11 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

        The trouble is no contraception is 100% effective. Many abortions happen because other contraceptives fail. I mean the pill is only 99% effective which means it fails 1% of the time. When you think about all the millions of people having sex that's a lot of pregnancies.

        [–]GConly 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

        One percent fail rate per year, if used 100% correctly.

        If you depend of the pill your whole adult life, there's a very good chance you'll get pregnant.

        [–]C3P0 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

        I'll also add that the pill hasn't even existed for the duration of a human life. The pill has effects on the body that won't be understood for hundreds of years--possibly even birth defects. There are already cases where women who stop the pill after a decade are unable to become pregnant.

        18 years old to 40 years old assuming one has intercourse at a normal frequency: 0.9922 = 0.8

        If the goal is to accidentally get pregnant while on the pill, chances are it'll never happen.

        i like the idea of an individuals right to choose, but why does a pregnancy or child involve only the mother, when/if the child is born, it involves the father then? seems kindof convenient.

        i also feel like the free choice to have an abortion performed promotes irresponsibility/degeneracy that if an individual is having intercourse, it will not be an issue if that individual becomes pregnant, no problem, just do an abortion.

        Option D: Just take testosterone blockers. Birth control for men already exists and it’s called spironolactone, a generic medicine you can get for $8 at Walmart. And you get the bonus side effect of reduced blood pressure and lowered sodium levels.

        When you have low testosterone levels you stop producing sperm.

        If you are trying to tell me that blacks commit more crime, then I’m telling you that black MEN commit more crime. Black women don’t have shit to do with it and I’m tired of seeing them thrown under the bus. No, it’s not “13% of the population commits 50% of the crime.” It’s more like “6.5% of the population commits 50% of the crime.”

        Don’t even come at me with that “blacks commit more crime!!” bullshit if you’re going to ignore the fact that black women commit less crime than men of any race — white men, Asian men, Hispanic men — they all commit violent crimes more than black women.

        If you don’t accept that there is a correlation between being male and criminality then you’re just as delusional as the liberals who think that all of the races commit equal amounts of crime and it’s just “the system” that exaggerates how much crime blacks engage in.

        I don’t know what kind of weirdass dudebro MRA science blog you’ve been reading, but out here in the real world testosterone is well documented to raise aggression levels in all species, and men have noticeably weaker immune systems than women do.

        Abortions are quite painful, expensive and time consuming. So it's not exactly a "no problem" deal slip on into the doctor's real quick. There's a process, and I agree with the process fully. There definitely should be a process of some sort.

        I don't really see it as promoting long term degeneracy. Maybe in some cases? However I don't feel that giving some sleaze bag the option to do whatever they want should disqualify the average person's right to use it should the need ever arise.

        So only 30 yr old drug addicts get food stamps, wic, and housing assistance? Stop believing all the lies and get your head out of you ass.

        "but I won't afford huh gucci and iphone" is not a valid excuse to murder your child. You don't need to be a cum dumpster in the first place.

        "but you don't support infinite welfare and that means you don't REALLY care about the babies" is utterly retarded, if you don't believe that you can fuck right off.

        Are you religious? I can't imagine anyone having opinions this extreme on abortion without the brain washing of some religious sect.

        No, I am merely logical. The baby is clearly human, and clearly a baby. If murder is wrong, then it applies to babies as well. What is extreme is denying the babies humanity because you want to justify murder. Especially when 90% of abortions are done simply because the baby is not wanted.

        Clump of cells is not a baby, at least be honest.

        You ARE a clump of cells. This argument is fucking retarded.

        Killing a baby illogical and immoral. Terminating a pregnancy within the first 12 weeks is not comparable to killing a baby. Are you going to go through and have every food and spice that can stimulate uterine contractions put on a list as illegal for women to consume at all after they start menstruating too? I guess no more Italian food since basil, oregano and rosemary are on there. No more passion flower tea to help with sleep, no chamomile tea to help with relaxation.

        Considering 33% of all pregnancies end in miscarriages ''god'' is the #1 abortionist.

        Not killing the unborn is an extreme belief? You, uh talk about brainwashing, yet you sound as if you've become alienated from your own basic human compassion.

        I have a hard line of no post-first trimester (up to 12 weeks) abortions outside of some sort of serious defect or the pregnancy being life threatening. My own line would be 9 weeks, but I'm not sure that I could go through the process myself. I certainly don't consider them to be anymore than the framework of basic human anatomy til after maybe 9 weeks. They don't have complex enough brain/nervous system development that early on to even feel pain.

        Women choose men who deny them the right to choose, hence low Western birthrates and their support for mass alien immigration.

        Well, of course Ginsburg was not on the Court to vote on Roe v Wade. Her comments calling the decision unwise probably mirror my thought quite closely.

        Ruth Bader Ginsburg voted to kill black babies. More black babies will live without her.

        Black women have abortions at 5x the rate of white women.

        Republicans are shooting themselves in the foot by trying to ban abortion. If you thought the dindu plague was bad now, just give it a few decades of abortion being illegal.

        White women will continue to have abortions. They’ll just fly to somewhere where it’s legal. Black women living paycheck to paycheck in the ghetto? Nope! Say hello to more Jamals, Tyrones, and Shaniquas!

        It seems like a contradiction to a leftist for someone to be for a reduction in minorities and be against murder even though it leads to a reduction in minorities because leftists don't understand having principles. Murdering babies is wrong, even if it does have desirable qualities. (I'm not saying it does have desirable qualities)

        It is wrong to murder babies even if rich women will find a way to do it anyway, that is not an argument to support abortions. Murder is illegal even though it still happens.
