Yeah i get it, abortion is choosing murder. And guess what else! Yep, i never had to make that choice, so can only imagine what it's like to be pregnant and unmarried. There you are, young and starting out in life, working and making enough to support yourself, but not much else. Having a baby means time off work, medical bills, and no paycheck coming in. You'll need clothing and other stuff for the baby, including day care - big cha-ching.
And then, down the road, will be more time taken off from work. In day care, even before covid, if yer kid sneezed, you'd get a call at work (probably on payroll tuesday) to come get your child. Then there's things like doctor and dentist appointments, car repairs and such. Needless to say, when you have a job, and want to keep it, your boss expects you to be there.
So, these are things which pregnant single women are up against. And these things are why the US has domestic relations offices in about every county - where the staff works hard to find da-duh and make him pay. Still, alot of mental drama ... for single mom who is trying to focus on her job, so she can keep getting her paycheck, and keep a roof over her and her child.
And now, there's talk about limiting abortion. Why now? Seems all of a sudden...where has been this moral-majority, over the last almost half a century? Frankly, i cannot help but to smell an agenda - one that is directly covid related.
"My body, my right!" Guess that's got to go.
Up here in Canada we actually have no abortion laws at all, not for 30 years. They couldn't agree on a law and just gave up trying to come up with one. It actually works really well so it is a medical issue that you discuss with your doctor and is nobody else's business. The only women I know that had abortions did so because they didn't want a Down's kid or one that would need a heart transplant at birth. It wasn't for convenience.
ReplyDeleteSounds good to me, leave the government out of it.
DeleteAbortion is about money first and foremost, most women who get abortions outside of the ones with extreme health issues, it is economically forced on most.
Dear anonymous, it's a very complex issue. i know a woman who had an abortion. She and her fiance were just starting out in life ... a few years later, she had a baby. All's i know about abortion is, most women don't want to make that choice, but things happen ... a rock and a hard place.
ReplyDeleteEconomics push women into making this decision in most cases, that's one thing the right wing never talks about how women simply have no way to support themselves or the baby.
DeleteDear Peeps, there'd probably be alot more abortions, if it weren't for domestic relations. Frankly would never EVER want have to take charity from right wingers - because they're nosey and changeable as heck. At least big gubment (welfare) has a form you fill out - and you either qualify, or you don't.
ReplyDeleteYeah some of the ideas like having church charities pass out the welfare sounds like hell, at least govt welfare, is yes or no just based what you have.
