From the comments:
You two really don't get it. My younger sisters 7 & 8 understand perfectly what abortions are. The other night my 8 year sister is on the bed counting to 24 I'm thinking what is this about. When she got to 24 she says another one is gone. Then it hit me every 24 second another child is killed. Too bad we can't flow some of the compassionÂÂate, caring energy of the little ones to you. They understand WAY MORE then you think.
No, they don't fucking understand the issue. They're just parroting what's been recited to them, and like most kids, operate on emotion rather than logic, so they can't possibly understand the complexity of what they're feeling sad about. And by the way, they think it's wrong because they were probably raised to see fetuses as babies. A child raised by someone pro-choice might not feel the same way, but again, young children sometimes really can't fully understand these issues until they're older.
Another comment:
So how do you explain the thousands of charities started and funded by people of faith? Including those that young people responsiblÂÂe sexual behavior with the use of birth control. Doesn't fit your world view, but it exists, and millions of poor kids in this country are helped. People of faith donate to help the poor by a ratio of over 3:1 over pro abortion supportersÂÂ. they also foster and adopt by the similar ratio. The church can and should do more, that is why they started an adoption initiative over 4 years ago, spearheadeÂÂd by Rick and Kay Warren(PurÂÂpose Driven Life, Saddleback Church CA), that is being duplicated in evangelicaÂÂl churches country wide. You claim to care so much for the poor, but you really just wish they could be aborted and euthanized out of existence before they cost you anything.
I'm getting sick of people of who use this argument and think that a) charities are a reasonable compensation for lack of government safety nets and programs, and b) only religious people donate. Are these charities able to service not only every single foster child in the US, but also every homeless child, and every child living in ghettos? And how long do these charities support the children it does help? Until they reach 18? Here's a fucking thought: If your charities are such a success in covering these children that the argument of "why don't pro-lifers support the fetuses once they're born" isn't valid, then why does this country still have such a problem with unwanted and impoverished children?
Oh, and as for your clever little line at the end, it's people like
you who don't want the poor to cost you anything, otherwise you wouldn't bitch about government run healthcare and welfare. And you probably would, too, since you seem to be the type of person who believes charities can pick up the slack for everything.
