You can say whatever you want, but your argument is just a bunch of nonsense to me. I don't believe a life is truly a life, until you take a breath outside of the womb. 

You said it yourself. Between 50-60 million people would have been born without abortions. That's 50-60 million unwanted kids. Where are they gonna go? Are you willing to adopt some of them? I guarantee most of them would have gone into the foster system, which is already overcrowded. You say abortion is taking a life, I say it's preventing a life from happening. A hard life in which that child would've been born to careless, irresponsible parents who didn't want it in the first place and would've probably either mistreated it or given it away to be raised by the state. I'll say it again. People are wreckless and irresponsible. There will always be unwanted pregnancies. Without abortions, what are you gonna do with all of these unwanted children? You seem vehemently opposed to abortion and want it banned. What do you propose we do with all of the unwanted kids who would now be brought to term?

I know we cannot know for sure what a world with all these new people would look like, but you have to admit, the foster care system is already overcrowded and it would be even more so with all these addition kids. How many more is anyone's guess. While a lot of those children could end up in menial, blue collar jobs often filled by illegals, I don't think that it would make much of a difference. They would still be American citizens, subject to the "going rate" for such jobs. The reason many illegals are hired, is because they are willing to work for pay below the "going rate" on those jobs, in order to stay anonymous. That would not be the case for the new Americans who would be born if abortion were made illegal. They would still expect to be paid the "going rate" for any job they took. 

See, now we're making some headway. You are offering some realistic solutions here. I can definitely get on board with offering free birth control. That could drastically reduce the amount of unwanted pregnancies. I would also add that getting such birth control should not require a parents permission and should be given to a person of any age. Maybe than, we wouldn't see so many teen pregnancies as well.

What you old farts don't get is that you've aborted half of the generation that was going to support you in your dotage. Without 60 million additional tax payers your already overtaxed health care and Social Security Ponzi schemes are going to collapse in your lifetime instead of after you've passed on to your just reward.

Without abortion, you would see...... 

1. More child murders and abuse situations at the hands of parents who didn't want them. 

2. More kids in foster care (many in horrible or abusive situations.)

3. More crime due to the fact that children grew up feeling unwanted and it messed with their heads, leading to drug addiction, alcoholism or mental illness.

4. More people in the United States, leading to overcrowding and more demand for "things" which would drive up cost. 

5. More deaths due to illegal and unsafe "back alley abortions."

I don't agree with abortion as a means of birth control, but I see it as a necessary evil. People are irresponsible. That's just a fact. No amount of legislation is ever gonna make people voluntarily use birth control every time. Instead of wasting money on pitches to tell people to be abstinent, we need to deal with reality. There will always be tons of unwanted pregnancies and forcing people to carry unwanted babies to term, when they don't want them, only creates more problems. Many of those babies will lead "hellish" lives if they are brought to term. There are some really horrible people in this world. I view abortion as the lesser of two evils.

While there is some truth to what you say I think you are underestimating individuals ability to be responsible. When I used to work in a psych unit it was amazing how much self control even the craziest of people would get when surround by a bunch of big techs. People are irresponsible in large part because they issolated from the consequences of thier actions.

So I think all those things might go up at first, I think they would quickly reverse course once people realised the change was for real.

The better argument for keeping abortion IMO is for babies with congentital defects incompatable with life, rape cases, and of course, fatal risk to mother if completing pregnancy. Abortion should not be used as a form of birth control.

I didn't dodge it, I systematically dismantled the very premise.  But to your point, in a brick wall each individual brick and apportion of mortar has the capacity to support its own weight.  Likewise, human beings have the agency and potential to add value to the lives of others and thusvsupport themselves.

I didn't dodge it, I systematically dismantled the very premise.  But to your point, in a brick wall each individual brick and apportion of mortar has the capacity to support its own weight.  Likewise, human beings have the agency and potential to add value to the lives of others and thusvsupport themselves.

Do you ever give a direct answer? You just talk in circles. Be specific. What are specific solutions. If you get rid of abortion, what do you do with all the unwanted kids? It's a simple question. You can't "dismantle that premise". Someone is gonna have to take care of these "new" lives and the foster care system is a mess, as it is. This will be the last time I ask you for a direct answer, not some "off the wall" allegory that has nothing to do with the direct question. If I get that again, I'm just gonna put you on "ignore." Please just answer that simple question in plain English. I really would like to here what you would realistically do with these kids. You can't just say, people should take care of their own responsibilities. As much as I agree with that, we both know it's not realistic. It won't happen in many of those cases, maybe even most cases. There are a lot of cruel people in this world and most times, cruelty and carelessness go hand in hand.

If you don't like the answer don't ask the question!  The simple solution is that parents take care of their own children and those who can't ask for help, like adults, and we work through it as a society.

were roughly talking about 1.5 million children annually.  in that same time we spent 22 trillion dollars on wealth transfer programs.  In addition to that we contributed 2% of our GDP to charity.  It's not a lack of resources, its a lack of accountability and ill be darned if I condone mass genocide to subsidize it.

No, he's not. His voting record indicates that he's center-right. He just refuses to allow the Supreme Court to be used as a political tool by either party, and his voting record reflects that position.

Then he's a liberal.  The perception of the court is meaningless to the law.  He swears an oath to preserve protect and defend the constitution of the united states, not the opinion of the Harvard Faculty Lounge.  to the case in question, if we want to have a broader constitutional discussion about licensure, the right to pursue commerce and state over-reach then have at it.  I don't have a problem sitting at that table.  But under the current ittiration of jurisprudence to assert that a state doesn't have the right to sanction the credentials required to perform a medical procedure is insane.  The only thing more insane would be to based that idea on the idea that one individual has the right to arbitrarily kill another individual because Oprah Said So.

Hmm - can't discuss religion, but can discuss abortion? Seems to be getting pretty close to the same thing. What's the foundation of one's thoughts in opposing abortion?

Probably more of a science thing.

Pro abortionists (and the loons who believe there are more than two genders, climate scammers, etc.) are all more anti-science than religion.

Anti-science = cool, religion = not cool

The same as the opposition to murder.

The reason the left is blind to this, is that they perceive themselves as the center of all being.

The center of the universe, center of all thought, and the center of the political spectrum.  Perhaps the cornerstone of the alternate reality they've manufactured for themselves.

In truth, they are way left and moving farther left at an accelerating rate.  (Yet will look out the window and say, "I've moved nowhere!")

Same with the right.  The right as a whole has moved left of center over time as well - in turn pulled to the left by the political climate as well.  There isn't much that separates the parties, at least... the career politicians in the parties.
