The issue is not the availability/legality of abortions.
Of course it is an issue morally, as it should be.
The issue is whether or not the abortions are payed from US TAXPAYER FUNDS.
Because the ‘abortion clinics’ know if the TAXPAYERS fund it, they get paid.
If the jobless,homeless,irresponsible women who got pregnant have to pay the fees, the clinics know they WON”T get paid.
Many of these clinics are run by organized crime and they won’t tolerate not making huge profits.
IF it was all about whether it should be a RIGHT to get an abortion, why don’t INSURANCE COMPANIES include it in Health Plans ????
“If the jobless,homeless,irresponsible women who got pregnant have to pay the fees, the clinics know they WON”T get paid”
So if the same jobless,homeless woman is forced to have a child we taxpayers will pay $60,000+ per year in welfare benefits. The taxpayers are on the hook for 18 years of welfare to include free section 8 housing, SNAP, CIP, TANF and a slew of educational benefits. Read that as 100% free college for that mother. No state anywhere is going to not pay full welfare benefits to a jobless homeless woman it’s her ticket to 18 years of free benefits. It’s a hugely better deal to give that woman $25 in genetic medication early on before week 10 and send her on her way. So the over under is $25 in pills vs $60000*18=$1,000,000 the choice is clear from a fiscally conservative view point.
Want to save babies work with your church to reach out to at risk mothers and then don’t abandon them once the baby is born keep supporting them to find work, provide them child care options so they can work and provide for themselves a stable living system. Far too often the right says you must have this baby then once it’s born abandons the woman. They say our job here is done good luck raising that baby and don’t even think about asking for welfare it’s your fault you got pregnant. This is a losing position every time. You will only get people fired up to crawl over broken glass to throw out the “old white men” legislating their narrow view of mortality. A morality as they see it based on a religion most of the country doesn’t believe in. 60% of Americans do not practice a regular religion that’s where we are.
The stick is a losing argument you must offer the carrot to the woman a way to keep the baby and not ruin her chances at career/educational advancement. The default is well give it up for adoption then sure we are back at point one foster care and youth homes are funded by us taxpayers in full. I don’t see the people demanding zero tolerance on abortion with 5+ adopted children with them walking the walk rather than just at demanding their views on morality.
