Most Americans Disagree With Church Teaching On Homosexuality, Abortion
-
The US and UK allow for contractual adoptions (ie surrogates, etc), which would allow for the adopting parents to pay. However, if you go through the state's adoption process, then that's not an option.
Besides forcing a rape victim to carry the baby (extremely cruel), why should a business have to pay maternity leave so the woman can be forced to give birth to the rape baby?
-
That remains at the choice of the mother. I'm not saying that in a case of rape it's "wrong" to get an abortion, because that steps into a whole new world of things to consider. Should the mother choose to carry through, it is treated the same as having had the baby through consensual means.
-
As it is now, the system works the same if the mother wants to put the baby up for adoption or keep it.
Anyway, bringing a baby to full term is a lot more expensive than an abortion, so based on sheer economics, the choice is clear. Not to mention that a child born into poverty will die in poverty. Class mobility is extremely rare.
-
I wouldn't throw economics into it. It turns people into statistics.
-
To deny the economics of the situation is to deny reality.
We don't live in a moneyless utopia.
-
so is a baby a choice?
-
YES, having a baby is a choice.

okay. i just think that abortion is only allowed under highly specific extenuating circumstances
but everyone's entitled to their opinion
