Daughter of the One True King

Thank you for asking so kindly! It’s very refreshing ^^

I am passionately anti-abortion because science confirms the unborn is a unique human life and because it is always wrong to murder a child. Therefore, I do not believe in any exceptions for abortion.

In cases of rape, the child is a victim. Abortion gives the death sentence to an innocent person, and killing the baby won’t change the fact that a horrific crime was committed. The child is a chance for something beautiful to come out of an atrocity, and also provides DNA evidence to convict the criminal. Both mother and child deserve dignity and compassion for the crimes committed against them. We punish the rapist, not their victims.

In cases of birth defects, disabilities are not justification to kill someone. Doctors are often wrong with the diagnosis and prognosis, and even in the worst of cases where the baby won’t survive birth, we do not kill them prematurely - especially in gruesome ways of abortion! Fetal palliative care is possible, the sick and injured deserve care, not to be killed. The truth of it is, in the end we don’t know what will happen or how long someone will live and it is not our place to choose when someone lives or dies. We give them their best chance at life indiscriminately.

In cases of the mother’s life being endangered, abortion is never medically necessary (AAPLOG, Dublin Declaration). Everything is always done to save both lives, but sometimes the baby tragically dies secondary to measures taken to save the mother. Intentionally killing the baby is never, ever required. Ectopic pregnancies and miscarriages are not abortions and the process to treat these are distinctly different medically, morally, and legally.

Women would ABSOLUTELY be better for it if we banned abortion

Over 60 million babies have been aborted since Roe v. Wade, that’s roughly 30 million women that were never given the chance to live, to dream, to thrive because they were killed in utero. At least one person dies in EVERY abortion, it is the leading cause of death. In New York City, more black babies are aborted than born alive. Our country would be safer with abortion banned. The bans in places like Texas and South Dakota have already been saving lives.

Serious side effects can occur from abortion, including scarring, hemorrhaging, sepsis, maternal death. Future infertility and greater risk for future miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies. Higher chance of developing breast cancer. Risk of mental illness including anxiety and depression increase significantly along with alcoholism. A woman who has had an abortion is 115% more likely to exhibit suicidal behavior.

Depending on the source, 64-77% of women report feeling coerced or pressured into abortion. Those women don’t want an abortion, but for a variety of reasons - family, financial, etc. - they feel they have no choice. These women would be better off if abortion was banned. They do not need people telling them it’s okay to abort their baby, they need a society that understands the value of life and empowers them by telling them it IS possible to have their baby.

The abortion industry directly promotes sex trafficking and makes it easier for sexual exploitation to persist. “One groundbreaking 2014 study of sex trafficking survivors indicated 88% had reported contact with a healthcare provider, 30% with Planned Parenthood and 19% with women’s health clinics. In looking at areas of sex trafficking and abortion, this study highlighted that out of 67 women, 55% had at least one abortion, 30% had multiple abortions.” [x]

Many women like Melissa Ohden who have survived failed abortions continue to fight for the right for life.

It's a fallacy and it's not used for any other issue. No one says if a person is against animal cruelty they have to go adopt every animal from the shelter. Having an inability to adopt animals does not mean a person cannot care about animal abuse just like not having the ability or means to foster or adopt a child doesn't mean we can't care about babies being killed.

I don't think you understand the foster system and I don't know where the accusation that pro-life people ignore children in foster care comes from. The goal of foster care is reunification with the biological parents, not adoption. The majority of the children in foster care are not up for adoption but when they are, over half of them are adopted by their foster families.

Now let's talk about who's actually doing the fostering and adopting. Pew Research has indicated that the overwhelming majority of Christians are pro-life. Now, taking that fact, it has also been found that Christians are more than twice as likely to adopt as the majority of other Americans and are also more likely to foster children than the majority of other Americans.

So you make baseless accusations like we don't care about children in the foster care when we are actually the people fostering and adopting these unwanted and hurt children at a higher rate than the rest of the country, even though it's not required to be pro-life.
