Abortion is GOOD For Children!

The National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) of the United States and accomplice with Planned Parenthood has announced that in fact abortion is GOOD for children. Who would have guessed? Here is the link https://t.co/X6xPBCCMZ8

We now learn from an article in the Journal of Pediatrics women who have abortions are MUCH better off than those who don't. In fact CHILDREN of mothers who have abortions are also better off:

“The research here is clear,” said Diana Greene Foster, a demographer at the University of California San Francisco who led the work. “Restricting abortion access doesn’t just harm women. It harms their children as well.” The authors also found that the existing children of women who were denied abortions were more likely to live in poverty than those who received an abortion (72% compared with 55%) and to be in a household that does not have enough money to cover basic needs like food, housing and transportation (87% to 70%.)

(I like that phrase..."existing children". BTW, the sample number? 293).

BUT we also learn their mothers benefit as well, and that women who have abortions are HAPPIER than those who are so primitive they actually experience childbirth!

Previous work has shown that having an abortion doesn’t lead to long-term mental health problems, but that not having one when it is desired can lead to anxiety and depression...The authors also found that the existing children of women who were denied abortions were more likely to live in poverty than those who received an abortion (72% compared with 55%) and to be in a household that does not have enough money to cover basic needs like food, housing and transportation (87% to 70%).

“It is expensive to have a new baby,” Foster said."

Oh yes, Ms. Foster I hear that's so...

Well the abortion argument is now over. The Journal of "Pediatrics" said so.

For those of reading who have never heard of George Orwell, just keep repeating -

War is peace.

Freedom is slavery.

Ignorance is strength.

Abortion is good for women.

And even better for children.

I wasn't quite sure what point you were trying to make but I am guessing you are not in favour of abortion. I will, for once!, be brief.. if we haven't experienced those issues ourselves, been there on the ground facing it.. then I don't think we should judge.

@Adaydreambeliever Sorry I didn't make it simplistic enough for you but that's because you don't understand what irony is. I was being ironic. A little reading and my point is obvious but I find I am unable to write so that the dumbest people here will immediately understand.

If you believe that life begins at inception as I do (and which cannot be logically challenged) that means abortion is MURDER...what exactly do you mean, then, when you say "don't judge"? In fact we make judgements on people's behavior all the time - it's called having standards of civilized behavior. As for not being allowed to "judge" without first experiencing it that is just ridiculous. It's like saying you cannot judge the Nazi death camps cause you were not a Nazi or police brutality cause you are not a policeman. And you don't know WHAT my experience is with abortion, thank you, so if you wish to confess your ignorance on something, fine. Just don't do it for others.

Why not just say you are okay with infanticide and get it over with? I suppose you would have drawn the line though had it been the third trimester that YOU were in your mother's womb, a case of abortion for thee but not for me? So I guess you were just lucky, otherwise you would have been unable to express your sophistry on the subject now.

To be in favor of abortion is at hypocritical best. At worst morally bankrupt. Take your choice.

@Abrienda ahem, with respect.. sometimes one can read and still not understand.. what I mean was perhaps the slight language differences make meaning less clear. I am wondering though it my politeness here is misplaced. As you seem to think it's ok to profess that I am ignorant.. hmmm pot kettle black when you accuse me of not knowing...
I based my point on KNOWING more than a little about those who make that tough choice, I know their reasons.. Based on that it seems unlikely you have met many people who have faced those kinds of choices.. the choice to keep a child you don't want, the impact that has.. I am afraid one would have to be there to understand that .. to follow up 5 years later, 10 years later, 20...or you really cannot comment on how it impacts on the people involved..
I don't LIKE to be mean, but you come across as an idealistic kid.. once you get some experience of life you might understand.... or not.. depending on how entrenched your dogma.

PS I was actually quite nice in my original post, I merely asked for clarification on whether you were pro or anti and what point you were trying to make..
