You must be insane.

Killing babies is exactly what Planned Parenthood is about...and what PP was about in the past. Let me be more precise.

Killing babies for money and harvesting their body parts to sell is exactly what Planned Parenthood is about and always was about.

They have so many options, other than abortion.

They can give it up for adoption.

They can drop the baby off at a fire station, no questions asked, in many states.

Or, perhaps, they can be more careful with their decisions to begin with. They can take BC, or obtain Plan B. Heck, you can order BC ONLINE these days. And they can always abstain.

And what about the republicans wanting to get rid of birth control? What about when it doesn't work? My cousin got pregnant thanks to a broken condom.

Because sex is only about making babies?

There are Republicans out there who want to do away with birth control. There are people who also refuse to fulfill prescriptions for it, due to their beliefs. If you want to "should" all over something, you can add religious people who get into careers like that, and then refuse to follow through on doing their job.

Why don't republicans want anything other than abstinence to be taught in sex education?

Abortions are legal in Chicago. The so called Moses laws are in effect. ie A mother may abandon her baby at a fire station, police station, or hospital without fear of legal repercussion. As always, adoption is an option. Birth control is inexpensive and readily available. And yet, despite these legal alternatives, despite allowing women all the 'choice' she demands, we still see reluctant mothers quite literally throwing away their unwanted babies. This case isnt a one off ofc.

FYI abortions were legal in NC up until the 20 week mark. Just this past week, they lifted that limitation altogether. I hope they join Georgia and Alabama in their abortion bans.

Abortion is not and should not be a form of birth control. It's time for people to start asking themselves the common sense questions they should've been asking all along.

Again, I believe the root of the issue is deeper than the act of abortion. Similar to the root of the school shooting epidemic being deeper than gun control.

the fine print there is what actually matters

edit: i don't care if chicks want abortions i dont think that should have anything to do with the government either, but the bigger issue with roe vs wade that people ignore is the rights to privacy that came with it that would be overturned along with abortion

In my lifetime, we have gone from shameful abortions to regrettable abortions to abortions as a badge of honor.

Women were entrusted with a profound responsibility of far reaching consequences. Too many have shown themselves unable to bear it.

Interesting. I would see it as, if a woman chooses to have an abortion, she is accepting sole responsibility for the consequences of her actions by acknowledging that the alternative (ensuring the survival and development of a life other than your own, consciously, for decades) seems unbearable. Who could possibly be better equipped to make such a decision? Re: the history of Planned Parenthood and eugenics, and some of the worst-case scenarios you mentioned around the question of who decides who’s fit to be a parent, I was amazed to discover that in my state, it’s illegal for a doctor to perform a tubal ligation on a woman under the age of 32 unless she already has at least one child. Crazy, huh? That an 18-year-old can join the military, vote, or take out a loan for college, but in the eyes of the law it takes almost twice as long for a woman to be considered mature enough to decide that she doesn’t want to experience pregnancy?

The scenario you paint is pleasant but antiquated. Pregnancy is one of the more easily avoidable situations a woman might encounter. Hence, the first responsible act for those women who don't wish to be mothers is simply to not get yourself knocked up. This should be easy peasy but it isn't because too many women are selfish and/or irresponsible. So there's your first stumble.

Further, we have women who are choosing abortion not because motherhood is haaaaaaarrrrrd whimper whimper but because the phd or the upcoming trip to Thailand is their priority. Family, motherhood, childhood, homelife, etc have lost their inherent value. They're all easy throwaways.

which inevitably leads to the notorious, well known extended adolescence and immaturity of millennial women and men. I don't think we need to hash that out. Casual pregnancies and casual abortions are a product of that cultural shift.

Again, framing the choice to abort as some high-minded, soul-searching, keep a stiff upper lip type decision is ridiculous. I would urge you to spend some time in both the pro abortion activist circles and pre/post abortion communities.
