I understand that not much goes towards it, but if you know you cannot afford the ones you have then do not have more and expect to get more money.Out of curiosity, could you tell us how much of the money taxed from your work income you think goes towards paying for people who have extra children just to get more welfare money?
I’d like to know which states require a husbands ok for a tubal. Women shouldn’t have to get permission for birth control.Your first thought was correct. When contraceptives are covered by insurance, abortion does decrease. This is especially true when the most effective BC is covered and allowed (currently, in many states, women need to have a certain number of children, be a certain age; have a husband's permission, etc. To have tubals.)
You know that teenagers do not have fully developed neurological systems and don’t have the highest level of “executive function”. You do know that, right?Or teach then to not have sex unless they know they run the risk of pregnancy, and if they get pregnant, they cannot kill the child.
North Carolina, Georgia and Virginia.I’d like to know which states require a husbands ok for a tubal. Women shouldn’t have to get permission for birth control.
How will the result of that, destitution and the resulting unrest, improve the individuals situation or our society as a whole?I understand that not much goes towards it, but if you know you cannot afford the ones you have then do not have more and expect to get more money.
So go ahead and legalize murder, lynchings (which is really the same thing), theft, rape, etc, because hey, making something illegal doesn't stop it.
I have read your response a few times and I am still not sure what you are implying as it related to the Lord? In nature animals often kill each other and sometimes even eat their young. But if we were just like animals, then there would be absolutely no point to life here on earth.
Does God care and have a purpose for every child that He knit into the mother's womb as the scripture says repeatedly ? Or does He create and then just go away and Has absolutely no concern or care on whether they live or die ? I believe from many different scripture passages that God does care about each of us. I believe a person who has the worst beginnings can still have choices to live a very fulfilling and meaningful life if given a chance at life.
I believe that we are here on Earth for a very important reason that will have eternal consequences. We are here to make a choice for or against Jesus Christ. We are not God and should not determine who lives as if life a new life were our personal property. We cannot determine who dies based on our circumstances at a particular point in time. Some reasons that a person decides to abort ( poverty, no husband, etc) are situations that could also easily happen after the child is born.
Babies get adopted. Look at the number of people adopting babies overseas because they do not want to wait 5 yrs to get one here in the US. The children in foster care are mainly there because their parents didn't give permission to adopt, broke the law and became incarcerated or became addicted to drugs or alcohol. So a child is then not available for adoption until a minimum of 2 years goes by of the parent not doing any of the things they need to do. Many of the parents do the bare minimum here and there, just to drag out the system because they can.
So as much as all of nature has the same creator, humans were created for the purpose to glorify God in choosing Jesus Christ and an eternity with Him, over choosing the world's selfish ways of acting like this life on earth is all there is, so get as much as you want and climb over as many people as you need to.
If there is no eternity with Jesus Christ as He promised, then this life on earth is utterly pointless and choosing evil has no consequences at all.
I keep seeing in my mind's eye, I keep seeing lines of women whom the government forced to give birth bring infants to the legislature's reception desk to give the government's baby back to them.Seems like a great plan, just as long as you're willing to help pay for government assistance for children born when birth control fails.
If a woman doesn’t get pregnant, then no need for an abortion. And abstinence works every time.
True that. ^It's super easy to stop women from having abortions. Stop having sex with them. It's really just the man's fault anyway, since he's the first line of defense against abortions, and the man fails -every single time-
Fact Check: Non of the anti-abortion laws criminalizes women for receiving an abortion. It only outlaws doctors from performing them.Actually, no. You are not trying to prevent 'murder of children'. You are trying to make criminals out of women.
If you TRULY were trying to stop abortions, you would be working to fix the social and economic issues in this country which make women choose abortion.
Don't flatter yourself with false praise.
Wait, are you actually suggesting that abstinence prevents unwanted pregnancy? How absurd is that?It's super easy to stop women from having abortions. Stop having sex with them. It's really just the man's fault anyway, since he's the first line of defense against abortions, and the man fails -every single time-
The human brain isn't fully developed until around age 25....so teenagers no not have a fully developed neurological system.You know that teenagers do have fully developed neurological systems and don’t have the highest level of “executive function”. You do know that, right?
True that. ^
So because it is "men's fault" that a woman gets pregnant, wouldn't it seem more logical to make laws requiring men to support their child and its mother rather than killing the baby?It's super easy to stop women from having abortions.

It is logical, but one must remember it is men making the laws.So because it is "men's fault" that a woman gets pregnant, wouldn't it seem more logical to make laws requiring men to support their child and its mother rather than killing the baby?
Forgive me, but the way you generally characterize men in such a negative light is evidence of a rather unfair bias brought about as a result of a deep rooted wound. It sounds as though your statements and positions are more "anti-men" rather than "pro-women".It is logical, but one must remember it is men making the laws.
<shrug> Us men never voluntarily accept responsibility for anything. I think it is a law of the jungle.

I agree with your comment above, however, would you then concede that the comment below is false?You are forgiven.
I've worked for men and I've worked for women in my life. Frankly, women are easier to work for. I've been married for fifty years to the same woman and I'm totally comfortable with her.
I also have a group of men who I meet with weekly for a 'men's night'. One of them drives me home every week because of my state of inebriation. It's that Christian guy I talk about sometimes who hears voices in his head and thinks it is God.
During the Ferguson protests I watched on Twitter live video from the front lines of the protests things that never made the national news. One of those times was a video of a young Black man facing off with a police officer at 'the line' between police and the protesters. You could see that the police officer was beginning to lose composure with the abuse the young man was shouting. A short Black woman wedged herself between the young man and the police officer. She talked the young man down got him off the line and someone else took his place. Bravery is not something that only men have.
There are a lot of things men are really good at. There are a lot of things women are good at. And there are a lot things BOTH are really good at if they are just given the opportunity to do them.
I just happen to believe there are a lot more things woman are good at than what they have been given the opportunity to do.
Us men never voluntarily accept responsibility for anything.
