A child could push a family into poverty and devastate siblings’ futures.

A child can also be put up for adoption btw.

Which often means shoving them into massively underfunded institutions, that are full of corruption and abuse, making it a less than ideal alternative.

Less ideal than being dead?

If you care so much, go ahead and adopt a child.

Nah I'm ok. If she wanted an abortion she should have gotten one in the 20 weeks where she's legally allowed to. Doesn't seem like a hard thing to do.

[–] Gabu@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But you seem oh so worried about the children. What's stopping you?

[–] Whirlybird@aussie.zone -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You know this is a stupid argument, right? I'm not looking to adopt a kid. Many, many, many people are.

It's easy to force a woman to act as a living incubator when you're not impacted by it.
