You rightly draw attention to the harms suffered by young women, some hardly out of girlhood, who experience pregnancy and childbirth. These are amplified if the pregnancy has been the result of rape or incest; typically the women remain trapped in abusive circumstances thereafter.
However, we must remember the fate of the children, who suffer lack of care or outright abuse at the hands of a parent who is not old enough to manage their own life well, never mind take on the demanding care of a young child. There are frequent shocking reports of children subjected to physical abuse by young male partners of an immature teen mother; a recent example being the fellow who murdered his girlfriend’s toddler in his “care” (she was at work, of course) because the child interrupted his gaming activities. Poor kid probably was hungry and crying for some food……
You are so right - I have spent years with people whose parents never got a chance to “mature” themselves. One holiday all the males sitting at the table started talking about the # of times they had been arrested. I came from an entirely different background. My family is Republican. After that dinner, I started warning my Republican family that those “safety nets” were put in place for a reason. It was to protect the them from people like the ones I was with at that holiday dinner. All the men at that table were working or looking for jobs. But the jobs they could get were low wage. The “safety net” was enough to keep them from having to “supplement” their income. Those have nots WILL get what they need to live. They are survivors. It’s why I believe that the MAGA’s are trying to undermine the United States and cause CHAOS as an internal attack. Keep squeezing the most desperate and crime goes up. Then Republicans who caused the problem with “entitlement cuts” - blame Democrats for the increased crime. I don’t remember the term for that stunt but there is a name for it.
Your perspicacity is only exceeded by your writing skills. There are studies that show the incidence in crime decreasing in NY 15-20 yrs after Roe in 1972. Unwanted, abused and food insecure kids are increased risk of criminal behavior, just like the people at that holiday dinner.
"Projection," maybe: Note that Trump is now "projecting" that there will never be another election if Trump loses, when in fact Trump is the guy who plans on being forever president. The old saying "biting the hand that feeds you" also comes to mind in response to your post. Those guys in your family are probably getting paid more for even low-level jobs under Biden; have they noticed?
The abused young children, many of them will grow up to be drug addicts and criminals and future thugs themselves. Living a life in a cage "(jail cell)", costing taxpayers money as well as torturing the abused child for the rest of their lives. When the right wingers realize they don't have enough money to incarcerate all of the abused children, they will the party of pro-life, exterminate them. The right wingers just want power and control to abuse everyone they don't like and they will lie to get elected, then they will end elections. They are just thugs, that wear a suit.
The way to end abortions is to raise all of the children, especially the males to become rational thinkers with empathy. Most family units are not capable of that, only agnostic Kibutzes might be able to raise virtuous children that are not angry and sadistic and racist.
Ah, yes—but when those abused angry kids become drug addicts and criminals, the cops can either kill them during apprehension or execute them if their violence escalates to murder. Then you don’t spend as much money incarcerating them for long periods. “Right to life” is a concept used by the right solely in reference to antenatal beings.
Any person, however deprived their upbringing, can grow and learn in the right circumstances, and become better regulated and more compassionate. It is unlikely we will be able to institute agnostic kibbutzes, but we can be respectful and caring to our fellow beings. Healing happens one person at a time.
Lol. The Democrats and Republicans both support raising children in the family unit after thousands of years of pavements filled in blood. I agree we cannot get the kombucha's because there's too much objection to it. Guess that's how the human race ends.
Yes, some people should never be parents. They need to have the right not to. What is completely baffling is that Republicans don’t want to put any money into public education, or give to welfare to help these children live a productive and decent life. This is all about control . Rich white men want to keep it, and apparently women and other minorities scare them.
