Liberal/Leftist Logic

Save all animals and their babies, It’s morally wrong to kill them or harm them in any way
It’s perfectly ok to kill a human baby, nothing wrong with it

You don’t get mad at pro lifers for not fixing the foster care system. Are you gonna get mad at the American Cancer society for not curing constipation? No, because they’re the American Cancer Society, not American Constipation society. So don’t yell at pro lifers for not fixing something outside of the cause their fighting for. Get upset at those who run the foster care system. And if you’re upset about children in foster care, start doing something about it. Just don’t yell at Anti-ABORTION advocates for not fixing the Foster Care system@SW-User

@Djac17 do anti abortion people adopt at higher rates, i wonder if they oppose adoption by gays or other groups?
it is logical because you are calling for more children who will be born unwanted

@SW-User AND ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT COME WITH ALLOWING THAT CHILD TO BE BORN that they never want to contemplate !

A woman who doesn't want to be a Mother probably having to go through the extra heartbreak of not only giving birth to that child, but who then has to go through the added traumas associated with giving up that child immediately to the authorities for adoption.

A child that had no choice but to go through the process of probably having several different carers before being considered for adoption.

Potential Foster placement breakdowns.

Time spent in a childrens home and all the added stress and aggravation living your young, needy life with other kids who may well have problems that infringe on your rights of being able to live a life free from violence, potential assault (of every variety !) etc.

Creation of all manner of psychological or physical problems due to trying to survive in that environment.

Emotional problems due to difficulty in making and maintaining relationships.

Potential difficulty in the education system. If you find it hard living with ten other kids being in a classroom with thirty can and often is difficult.
That in turn can lead to Statementing (or whatever the process is called in your country) where the child is supposedly assessed as to their 'educational need'. Which, even if they get right, means a Social Worker is having to seek out alternative educational places and even if they find the right one, it'll all come down to whether the Social work team and the education budget can afford to place that child there.

And every day resentment builds in that child.

Many are seriously depressed.

Many are on medication for same.

Many go through several living environments before they 'settle'.

Many go on to the justice system.

Many go through EXACTLY the same lives their Mothers went through and the whole process starts again !

All because of stupid (predominantly) white men keep this stupid idea going !!!

@Djac17 [c=#BF0000]Dats a dumb argument. Shows your lack of understanding. It's like a poor couple having 8 kids and saying 'children are a blessing and it's not my fault the government doesn't do anything about our living standards'. See how uneducated dat sounds? Also it's not just being thrown into foster care but unwanted kids also get abused by their parents. You don't know wut situation the kid's family's in and there are grey areas. Decisions need to be made according to wut is best. And getting an abortion isn't wrong like some holier than thou rightoids think. Thousands of viable sperms and eggs which could've gotten fertilized, turned into babies and lived lives get wasted away. Nature or your god is the biggest abortionist. Humans have always been too self important. Maybe actually try using your brain once instead of seeing things in black and white [/c]
