I agree with every point you made about abortion. I believe in the
sanctity of life. I think abortion is a measure of last resort, and that it
is terrible.
I appreciate anti-abortion activists' attempts to furnish practical
solutions to avoid abortions: offering medical care and adoption services to
pregnant women, supporting pre-conception birth control measures and working
to make them widely available, and advocating medical coverage for uninsured
children, WIC programs, foodstamps for the poor, school lunches, etc.
But all too often, anti-abortion proponents are against the very social
programs that would help prevent unwanted pregnancies or insure that existing
children are given the basics in life. They are often the ones who oppose sex
ed in schools, oppose contraception choices for teens, etc. I can only
conclude that these illogical activists are part of a larger movement to force
ordinary people into an underclass. Without contraception and legal abortion,
people will keep having children they can ill afford. Simulataneously
removing social safety nets for poor families insures a virtual slave labor
force.
Parents supporting several children are much easier to push around than
more financially stable families. The former can't afford to stand up against
anything on principle, if they risk losing their jobs. And people will never
stop having sex. We all know that. We must provide creative alternatives to
sexually active women if we want to reduce the number of abortions.
I won't let anyone screech to me that they believe in the sanctity of life
when they don't give a rat's behind what happens to these children once
they're out of the womb.
