38% of babies could live an awful life

could

or

no life?

Without life no one can determine what they could become

I am not saying that all mom's should get an abortion. Abortion also sort of solves overpopulation

@Kat Looking at statistics from adoption websites, about 60% of children are put into adoption within a month of birth, however, on average, most children are adopted after 2-5 years, about 11% more than 5 years.

the attitude with abortion atm is kind of gross though

regardless on your stance i don't think it's something to act proud of

Currently, only about 2% of the American population has ever adopted

That isn't high

Well, darn thats not high

but even not being adopted doesnt cut it as a good reason to abort for me

You could have a miserable life

And suffer

And adoption rates have gone down by 50% since 2007 due to restrictions

So less and less people are adopting, or having children in general

again. Its always could.

Surely the chance is good right? I mean if ALL aborted babies were guaranteed to have a horrible life (depending on the scale) then maybe it could be a reason to approve

So the question is do you want to make a potential child suffer in an orphanage because it was forced to be birthed from a person who was not ready to be a parent, or do you want to terminate it while it has no capacity of making memories and has no sapience or sentience whatsoever

I mean I would rather word it like this: Would you make a child POTENTIALLY suffer in an orphanage

not a potential child suffer

Ah, right, I think that's what I wanted to say

but I mean....yea

for me

its worth taking the risk for life

always is

Okay, so how many times have you adopted?

but thats why its such a hot potato right?

does my record of adoption have anything to do with this?

Well, you seem to want to protect a baby's life, so I imagine you would contribute to a child not suffering, no?

Thats a stretch tbf

Because saying that a mother must give birth to a child and then not giving a damn about what happens to the child *after* it was born would be very hypocritical

it might be

if anyone actually said that............

A could is still a probability

so

since were bringing the speakers into play here

have you all had shining childhoods?

im assuming so

since were noy allowed to talk about anything we arent ready to experience apparently and if a bad childhood is reason enough to not exist then you must have both had wonderful childhoods
