First I'm going to make a generalization here and just say the majority of anti-abortionist are probably republican and republicans (the majority) don't like social programs. They don't want to help people in need with government funds, they harp on unwed mothers who take food stamps and welfare, or the poor etc. ( to you know to feed their kids.)

But they won't let these mothers have an abortion so they won't have to take food stamps and welfare. And if it's not the unwed mothers taking the food stamps and welfare, the kids are in foster homes or adoption clinics, and they harp about paying for all these programs, and such. So, they want the kid born, even though the mother would soon abandon, sell, torture, abuse, etc. But they don't want to pay for the kids to keep them safe or provide the services necessary and people to keep them safe.

So, can an anti-abortionist/republican please explain this contradiction? Why do you want the baby born, but harp about having to pay for it afterward? And I know not all anti-abortionist are republicans, or have these views, but you know generalization.

So, again these are just for the people who don't like abortion or social programs.

Sorry forgot this detail. They also don't want gay or lesbians to adopt children, so they won't have to be taking government funds from the state and can have a family.

Sorry forgot another detail, plus some of them and this isn't a majority doesn't want these women/girls to use birth control. Abstinence-only(HA HA HA HA HA)

P.S. There was an error before so I reposted

What you said is exactly on point. Did you know the bush administration cut the budget of the FBI whose job was to investigate domestic terrorist such as abortion clinic bombings and related murders. Did you know the FBI had several reports of this murderer from other clinics he was trying to terrorize several days before he killed the doctor and was never investigated.* Yes must people want the fetus full term and born but that is where it ends, after that they do not want to help support a medically or mentally handicapped baby nor an unwanted baby.*

It's not a contradiction. Conservatives believe in PERSONAL RESPONSIBLY. Woman who cannot afford children have no business making them, and those women have no right to other peoples money for their own mistakes. Conservatives (in general) view abortion as murder, which one would, I hope, be naturally opposed to. In the end, something is only a contradiction when the reasoning behind it is not understood. Very few people do things they believe are contradictory. In the end, in the minds of Conservatives, what is to YOU a Contradiction, is to US a simple truth. Neither MURDER nor WELFARE have a moral basis, and good intentions are no justification. The path to hell is littered with peoples good intentions.



Think of this:



To me this is a (somewhat related) liberal contradiction: Liberals support abortion, which is the death of innocent human life, but not the death of harden, murderous criminals, who rape and kill and destroy. Care to justify THAT to me?

You are wrong on MOST counts. That is a generalization. And I have yet to figure out WHY welfare and food stamps is the only option when they had a choice to begin with. As it stands...they are not DENIED such. So, the appropriate FUTURE choice of those that continue to engage in the behavior would be to quit having sex so freely, protect themselves, or deal with it. A life is a life. I am only for abortion in extreme circumstances. Other than that--you are just telling the general population they always have a way out. However, I am not currently one of those who tells anyone else what to do. It's legal--I disagree with it, but the person who does it has to live with it. I knew someone who had FOUR abortions because she refused to either quit having unprotected sex or didn't care. When she turned 30 and decided she wanted a child...it took forever to conceive. She died of cervical cancer when the child was three. And yes...it's because of the damage she did.

It is a sad fact that most Conservatives who would outlaw abortion absolutely would also deny any responsibility for the social consequences of unwanted children. It is not about compassion for children or the unborn at all. It is only about them having control over the behavior of people they do not like doing things they would not choose to do - with none of the responsibility.

I have no problem paying to support a family that's not mine, but the Federal Government isn't the way to get it accomplished. Social programs don't work. Abortion is killing an innocent human being.

Although I agree with religious conservatives who want to challenge the youth to delay sexual activity for a while, I totally disagree with their message that a condom is a provision for sin. I send my Christian friends to the website below which debunks the whole thing against premarital sex in the Bible. That way they have no excuse not to support comprehensive sex education.

Because people that have anti-choice and anti-social care views do not think it through.

They parrot these views to feel morally superior..... nothing more.

most unwanted pregnancies are because people are too ignorant or lazy to use protection. and then they treat welfare like its a career.
