This personal responsibility bull is coming from someone who has no **** clue how much other people struggle. Your perspective is severely limited and all you can fathom is that your life was pretty easy so everyone else should just suck it up because you made it.
Forget debating about whether abortion is murder - you fundamentally do not understand how people on the margins actually live, or how anyone with fewer resources than you can't just 'man up' at the snap of a finger and raise a child.
It's not even on the margins. My family was solidly middle class, and my sister had a pregnancy scare in her senior year of high school. It ended up being just that, but she's told me that she had already made the decision mentally to have an abortion if she had been pregnant.
I've thought about that a lot over the years. Who knows how her life would have turned out if she'd had a baby at 17? Certainly a lot of people in that situation have gone on to achieve great things. And my family isn't wealthy, but we definitely could have helped her out, so she would have been better off than most. But I daresay how her life actually turned out -- married for almost 20 years, got her master's, is now an outstanding, hard-working elementary principal raising two wonderful little girls -- is a lot better for society at large than whatever she would have faced with a baby and no husband at 17.
Frankly, I think abortion and flag sh*t is just the conservative version of virtue signalling. George Carlin put it best -- conservatives pretend they care so much about innocent, precious little babies ... until those innocent, precious little babies are born, at which point they couldn't give two squirts of warm piss. Especially if those innocent, precious little babies are born in challenging circumstances, i.e. to lazy-ass minorities looking to sponge off the rest of us. At that point, conservatives not only couldn't give a flying F, but they will aggressively, actively look to dismantle any sort of safety net available.
Also, a friendly reminder: These are also the same people shrugging their shoulders over family separations on the border, and comparing detention centers to day care. So, yeah, conservative virtue signalling.
You should post more sir.
Yea everyone that agrees with you should post more in the already flooded 97.2% liberal Washington political board
