Pro life while its morally right, seems so ignorant of what happens to the kid is out of the womb. And if the parents don't have the money or resources to care for the kid. Throwing kids into a barely functioning foster system and forcing parents to give up their kids sounds about as stupid as what South Korea use to do with adoption for those who are born in the 90's and older.
If you want kids to get a easy pass into the brutal lives we all live in are you willing to have a federal program and pay for those who don't have the resources so they can keep their kid? Are you willing to pay the expenses that could come from accidental pregnancies/rape related pregnancies that could also result in drug addicted babies. And thats not even getting to the disturbing accidental incest related kids is the US medically prepared to fix and alter gene redundancies? (I'm talking gene redundancies such as a third nipple, a third breast or more than the normal amount of teeth.) All things that could potientially turn into a mess if you add in the costs to repair and or remove said parts if they were to become cancerous or a health risk unexpectedly. AND THIS ISN'T GETTING TO THE worst part of just forcing random babies into life. What happens when the gene pools of human life meet their genetic limit for diversity? And genes start either mutating out of control to keep up with the diversity needs. Something we definitely can't afford anywhere. Things like a third leg or fused twins could become a normal.
And then if you take pro choice the arguments against it is eliminating potential life is morally wrong but the parents lives aren't going to be fundamentally stunted and you aren't putting the boyfriend's/fathers in a position where they can always just RUN AWAY. The costs are going to be VERY STEEP with one and the other yes loss of potiential life but is it worth putting kids in a family that can't care for said kid. Is it worth RIPPING kids from their parents? I guess I'm writing this from a somewhat neutral was adopted view.
(I a Korean adoptee see why pro life can seem morally right at the same time. I would love to see my parents live their lives if they didn't socially get destroyed cause they chose to have me. And why I see the good in also pro choice.)
I am a late 90's korean adoptee I know very little about my bio parents and what I do know runs a risk of being made up. I also later in life discovered my only contact with my bio family my mom decided to take the easy way out. (as GTA calls it for those who don't play gaming yeah she is dead) so while I do love that I am living I also would have loved to not exist tbh. And maybe live a different life where they would still be alive. I do appreciate my adoptive family greatly its always a gut wrenching feeling to know I'm possibly the last of my biological bloodline. And the way how this debate of pro life and pro choice is thrown without consideration for the kid being born and having no word themselves. If they want to live and be the reason their parents are forced apart.
And another disclaimer in no way am I shaming my home countries past culture as they are finally taking steps so South Korean adoptees aren't abandoned at police stations and what not. What I guess I am saying is I want those debating pro life and pro choice to see the bigger LARGER picture.
Kids =Care and Caring for kids aren't cheap. What is it now like 300K for a kids development and then the cost of if you want them to get a cheap college degree? Do the math if we have 3 million kids a year thats going to be like what 3 trillion dollars of federal funding a year? And thats not even starting to get to the cost to insure they got an equal opturtunity and the costs of their mental health and you talking something that could. Wind up being some enormous program for kids that might get up to being a 100 trillion dollars a YEAR program If the goverment had to step in and federally aid all the kids. And even that number would be probably way low with the possibility of mutation down the road. This whole pro life argument is a disaster waiting.
TDLR:I'm not saying all kids need to be aborted I just don't agree that the parents lives should automatically be destroyed cause they maybe accidentally had unprotected sex and now they got a kid on the way. Parents shouldn't be forced into such a position unless society and goverment is going to aid then. Which of course is going to be costly. As from someone adopted finding out you probably were the reason your parents probably took their own lives is a pretty dark thing to find out.
And probably if your not mentally sound would easily drive a kid to drown in the despair that they are the reason their bio parents aren't alive and or married.
Your setting up a toxic cycle if you blindly support Pro Life. Where as not having kids if your not prepared can save ENORMOUS amounts of money for everyone. Find a compromise that won't send the economic system into a downfall. I guess is my point. I'm not a parent nor

I am a child of a single mother. My father has never been in my life. I know who he is but not where, and I've never met him. My mother has been quite honest about the fact that she wanted an abortion because she was too young to be a mother and she knew my father was not prepared to be a parent either and could not support a child. But my grandparents would not allow her to, so here I am. My life has not been easy, to say the least, nor has hers. But do I wish I was never born? Fuck no.
Well I never got to meet mine so if it meant her not taking her own life. I would have gladly accepted death if it didn't mean my parents getting socially ostracized.
The only plausibly-good argument I could see for abortion is that certain people have undesirable genetic qualities that would best be weeded-out through infanticide.
Great take
