Pregnancy is a Choice

Everyone knows that sex causes pregnancy by the time they are capable of doing it.

given how young children are when they are capable of having sex, there's a decent chance some don't know what the outcome could be

When the so-called "right to life" crowd have convinced a woman not to have an abortion, and a child is born, where are they for the next eighteen years? How much concern do they show for the cost of care and of raising and educating the child? This says it all for me. They don't give a rat's ass about children, all they care about is controlling people's lives; all they care about is political power.

To put this in terms that mealy-mouthed christians ought to be able to understand, Matthew Chapter 23, verse 27:

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

25"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of robbery and self-indulgence.

If the left would eliminate minimum wages and red-tape to prevent people from performing manual labor directly to sustain themselves and their families, uneducated poor mothers could simply work in agriculture to feed themselves and their families.

I may have seen something this ridiculous on A2K previously, but if I did I can't recall it. This one takes the cake.

How do poor people throughout the world support themselves except by providing for themselves directly with agricultural labor?

You're talking about subsistence agriculture. Totally inapplicable in a modern society.

Who says they are planning to?

Also, the consequences of carrying a child to term are life altering, even if you give it up for adoption once it is born. The same is not true for babysitting.

Yours is the kind of thinking that keeps the poor from rising above starvation level.

Even in this day and age carrying a fetus to full term can be life threatening to the mother to be also.

What is even more interesting is that anti abortion laws can only in fact be apply to the poor not those who can buy a airline ticket to a location where an abortion is both legal and safe.

When NY state was the only state in the union where abortions was both legal and safe there was abortions and travel deals being offer while the poor need to either carry an undesire child to full term or risk having an unsafe and illegal abortion.

To me looking at the issue logically the anti abortion groups an rapists have a lot in common.

Both wish to take the rights of women to control the functions of their reproduction systems away from them with the anti abortion groups wishing to used the color of law instead of a knife at their throats but it still similar thinking to me at least.
