For the record, I view abortion as legal murder. If women who wants to murder their baby and it's legal in the eyes of the State, then it's on them and not me.

But for those who advocate ending abortion, who's going to be responsible for the 930,000 unwanted babies each year? And figure the cost of raising a child is $250,000 from 0-18. That's $232 billion a year. Pregnancies are not going to end with the end of abortion.

That's no small matter to address...

It's very hard to find real ones to photograph but that's exactly what they look like.

The left is a satanic death cult and abortion is their sacrament.

No, no it isn't. But there is a tremendous shortage of children available for adoption. If there were any left over, orphanages are a good thing. I know several fine people who spent most of their youth in an orphanage. May not have been the easiest, but they are all thankful to be alive and striving like the rest of us.

You're talking about doubling and then some the number of children (per year I might add) in foster care/orphanages like that's no big deal. And our current foster care system is failing and funding is drying up. So how's that going to work?

Currently there are about 400,000 in foster care and somehow we can add another 930,000 a year... for the next few decades?

Well, if we’re going to argue that the burden on society is such that it’s better to kill all those babies, it makes sense also to anyone too old to work.

It’s negotiable, I’ll start the bidding at 70. Anyone at 70 gets scissors to the spinal column.

Each state has it's own laws and all of them aren't going to magically change overnight. So, it wouldn't be 930k at once, but over the course of years. Heck, it could be only 1 state per year over the course of 50 years.

Most kids in foster care are older, not newborns. Newborns are in great demand for adoption, so that further pairs down on the 930k number. An even greater number would be kept by the birth mothers and the birth mother's relatives.

Might as well just kill off all the infirm, the elderly and the poor. Right?

They passed a pro abortion initiative in Ohio and they showed a headquarters for the initiative and the place was packed full of 100s of fat, butt ugly fugks. I literally didn't see a single attractive person in the entire room.

Progressives are the most open minded, tolerant, and inclusive people on the planet, as long as you agree with everything they say, and do exactly as you're told.

If the government was serious about stopping abortions, they'd arrange for adoptions to be reasonably priced. Adopting can cost $50k in some cases. There are many thousands of really great would-be parents who are lower or middle income and simply can't afford to adopt.

The government literally ruins everything.

Those who are sufficiently selfish to suit only their own needs and wishes can conjure a vast array of positions, arguments and slogans to cloud the fact. But, as ever, it is a very simple and brutal matter - the intentional murder of a helpless and innocent human.
