I’d like to see how many people who have abortions later on choose to have a child. I think the “what if” logic for not having an abortions should also be applied to when having an abortion.

Forgot to add- Around half of women who have had abortions have had at least one child previously.

Choosing to have a child later on generally has fewer negative consequences than unchoosing a child you have already had.

Many abortions are also due to miscarriages, a child is wanted but that pregnancy was not viable, while later ones are.
Which is why even discussing the idea of these nonsense data points is useless.

Right. People use the “what if” as an excuse to ban abortions. But they don’t realize their logic can and should be used both ways.

more than you’d think, i’m guessing.
anyway, what’s it to you? if someone has an abortion and never chooses to have a child, why does that matter to anyone else?

I’m curious about statistics. The post I replied to was about statistics.

It’s funny that Republicans want to force women to have babies but then also complain about women that have too many babies and refer to them as “welfare babies” but also want to defund social aid programs and not provide additional resources to foster kids and orphanages.
(I know that was a run-on sentence.)

It all makes sense when you realize it has nothing to do with children. They just hate women who have sex and want to punish them for it.

Well, it was a run-on thought! It really does feel that convoluted when you try and figure it out, but rest assured, you’ve now thought about this in more depth than most conservatives!

They want the right kind of babies.
“Welfare babies” are babies born to poor and working class parents.
They want middle class white people breeding like rabbits, though.

If they want that they should make it financially viable to do so. I want kids, but realistically I can’t afford it. I’m not going to be irresponsible and inflict existence on somebody if I can’t care for them properly.

Have you tried being wealthier? Seems that’s what republican politicians like
