So I am not as much pro life as some of you. I used to be pro choice, however. That was probably because everyone in my circle was pro choice, and I am pro liberty. It feels like liberty to be pro choice.

I don’t know if I am ready to outlaw abortion. But I don’t want to pay for it, and don’t want to encourage it. Is that a compromise position that might be acceptable? I don’t know.

But what happened to me was my wife and I tried to have children and didn’t. So we went the medical route. That lead to IVF.

IVF has you looking at and closely paying attention to embryos. IVF is a technology that wouldn’t exist without some middle ground in the rules surrounding embryos. And I am grateful that this technology exists.

But the effort, expense, heart ache, suspense, and eventual success makes you appreciate children quite a lot. I have a very healthy 8 year old son that I love dearly. We did have a frozen embryo that we tried to have become a second child and it failed to become a pregnancy. All of these experiences together put such a value on children that I started considering myself pro life.

I see embryos as potential children and I see developing fetuses as children. I am not prepared to lock up doctors or parents for their abortions. But I fantasize about future technology that turns abortions into very early adoptions. Abortion as it exists today is the legacy of the eugenics movement. I am happy to align myself with people who are stronger pro life than I am. I understand and respect their position.

And as a Trump supporter, I am happy that Trump is pro life.

The problem is that Negroes are addicted to abortions and almost all black daddies abandon their children... so if you turn every Negro abortion into an adoption, civilization will be washed away in a tsunami of unwanted black babies.

Even with black women using Planned Parenthood on a regular basis, our adoption agencies are overflowing with unwanted black babies.

Your proposal would destroy any civilization because it doesn't cope with how horrifically irresponsible black women are with sex and how horrifically irresponsible black fathers are. Bring those two forces together and you'll recreate Liberia.

How much of this is being driven by welfare laws. Even without getting rid of welfare, the rules could encourage fathers to stay at home. Currently are the woman driving the men away because they get more in benefits? Also are woman contriving to have more children so they can get more money? Without welfare, I imagine far fewer pregnancies.
