I'm not sticking up for abortion, if that's what you're getting at. My point is that conservatives were losing the 'optics' of the abortion debate when the leftists were making actual arguments for early abortions- in rape cases etc- making the lie that we're misogynists who don't care about female autonomy.
When they kept pushing the envelope- abort if you feel like it, abort if you change your mind mid pregnancy, it all got pushed through easily since the conservatives were the 'misogynists that hate womens' rights'.
Now that we're finally at the point of full term abortions, even some leftists are wondering about the morality of it- we could have reached this point even earlier if the conservative side hadn't pushed back early, probably leading to a quicker resolution of this whole business, probably saving more lives. Leftists were always going to get abortions and nothing conservatives said would have changed it. Letting them slide down the slippery slope unchecked until even they go "WTF" might have been the better call.
You murder the future when you do that. That's why. One mother from a shitty place can give birth to the next great genius of our time who revolutionises the world for the better.
You're gambling on the off chance that you get something good out of allowing people who don't want children(really not the best parents) while it's more likely that it's going to lead to more broken families, single parents, and childhood trauma, with the obligatory welfare to support them, leading to the next generation of the same stuff. And who do they vote for?
It's arrogant, short sighted, and inhumane to presume you know enough to kill the future for one innocent life.
Look at it this way: let's say 99.99% of children who get in Hollywood are sexually molested. The 00.01% of them become great stars and bring joy to the world. Would you keep sending kids there?
Maybe I'm completely off on the numbers regarding whether people who were forced to have a baby are good parents, I'd love to see some sources.
