American citizens have a right to expect help from the government when they need it, that is government's job. The right to bodily autonomy is not based on citizens getting or needing help to live. I see you are against parents having tax breaks for children or elementary education or streets for them to get around on or being able to use the court systems or public buildings or being defended by our military, etc. because they chose to have them so they should lose all their rights to any government support ? That's quite silly. You may call it hypocritical but it isn't. The fact is that people have kids whether they can afford them or not and your idea that helping poor children is bad or wrong just doesn't fly... Whether people provide for themselves or not it does NOT take away their right to their own body. That's a fact....and I'm starting to enjoy the fact that you don't like it And it IS the government's job to take care of it's citizens especially the CHILDREN who obviously can't "provide for themselves"....or are you into bringing back child labor? How young should they start 1? 2? Will you let them actually be old enough to walk before you force them to "provide for themselves"? But, yes, the abortion debate is useless when one side refuses to acknowledge facts … BTW, have you provided all the following by yourself? ... elementary education or streets/highways, water systems, sewer systems, , the court systems or public buildings ,being defended by our military,
Great..let the kid starve..that’ll show him. Most people who are getting help from the government do work. They’re called the working poor
SHE made the choice with HER body to have the child. Why is it suddenly the responsibility of those she told to butt out of her choice to fund the results of something she said was none of their business when the choice was being made?
I explained that to you several times....human's right to their own bodies has NOTHING to do with their life choices. In the abortion debate the issue of "choice" refers ONLY to women's right to choose to gestate or give birth...that is all , that is only what it's about. It refers to NO other choices. Citizens rights to their own bodies has nothing to do with anything else and that has been explained in depth to you several times. What's the problem ????
If the choices they make are about their bodies, it has everything to do with it. If she makes the choice to have a child she can't afford, tough ****. It's not anyone else's place to be forced to support her or the little **** she can't feed. It's HER and HERS only.

All the aid they get doesn't change that they're freeloaders. I don't defend letting kids go hungry and shelterless. I defend expecting those that made the choice to have them support them. If they go hungry and shelterless, it's on the ones that should be taking care of their own. Since I have no responsibility to them, I can't be held accountable for them. If your decision is related to your body, it's the same thing. Why do you think women should be able to make choices with their bodies, tell others to butt out, then expect those same people to pay for the results when women can't?
You have it all wrong. My problem is with those that chose to have those kids NOT caring for their own. It's not my job to take care of someone else's kids.
Those that support taxpayers that aren't the father supporting kids they didn't help create totally ignore the sperm donor that did. I support personal responsibility and an abortion isn't that. Killing the unborn child you don't want because you don't like the results of having done what it takes to produce that child is the same as burning down a house you don't want to live in any more despite having made the choice to live there.

So you damn them if they abort a kid they can't afford and you damn them if they keep a kid they can't afford and HATE the thought that a penny of your taxes go to help children...... how illogical and just plain nasty....good thing that when these children need help the government takes YOUR MONERY and helps them Oh, is this where you give that "wise" advice about not having sex? That incredibly stupid remark usually rolls out from an Anti-Choicer about now...
It's not being nasty to expect the woman that made the choice to pay for the choice. Why should those of us she told to butt out of what she does with her body have any responsibility toward the child SHE chose to have? She can have the choice as long as she pays for it. When she starts expecting me to be one of those that does it on her behalf, it become my business. Not because I made it mine but because she did. Sad how you think it's OK for a woman to demand others she told to butt out to get something someone else earned. It's proof you have no concept of personal responsibility. The ONLY way I have an obligation to the kid is if I was the one that got the ***** it came out of. Outside of that, I don't give a **** what happens to her or her kid.
Mate babies were left on hilltops in Roman times so this business of it being a new phenomena is bunkum Now EVERY pro choice person I know is also pro contrarption
I'm all for the sperm donor that produced the child taking on his responsibility. However, since those that think it's OK for the woman that chose to have the child she can't afford to support, and they do argue that it's her choice entirely, to demand the rest of us that didn't produce it support it without mentioning the sperm donor that did, I didn't see the need to mention him either.
The point is that if someone chooses to have recreational sex for fun, it's their responsibility to fund anything and everything related to the choice to do so. What that means is if a woman wants to spread her legs for a different man every day, go for it. However, it's her responsibility to provide her birth control or make sure the one she lies down with does. It's not the responsibility of those of us not getting it from her to fund it for her. If she gets pregnant because she didn't use it or it didn't work, it's still on her to be responsible for the results. It's not the responsibility of those of us that didn't get her pregnant.
So. You don’t want the women to have abortions don’t want to hold the men accountable and do not want to support the child Do you realise that the vast majority of women seeking abortions live at or below the poverty line?”
How about funding realiable contraception? I will tell you this much. Where that has happened the abortion rate has decreased
