i don’t support abortion bans because i don’t want people who don’t want kids to have kids. i don’t want MORE child abuse. MORE domestic violence. MORE maternal mortality. MORE homicide. ALL of these things are linked to abortion bans.

the debate about when life begins is secondary to me, as a nonreligious person, to the actual impact of these bans on the society we live in: public health & safety.

THIS I watched this documentary in high school which explained how protecting abortion rights is really important for society bc it contributes to lower crime rates, better maternal mortality (huge indicator of overall us health status btw), better economy, etc. And I don’t get why it’s so hard for conservatives to understand this cause obviously families who actually want children will do a better job raising them, like duh

Ya know. I really would enjoy a calm back and forth about this. Because I have my views. And others have theirs. But I feel as though it could so easily turn to arguing. I do respect how other people feel and view these things though.

fully agree. the most frustrating part is you can communicate all of this evidence in really clear terms & then the opposition will talk about adoption… ADOPTION IS NOT A FIX ALL 😭 more accurately, foster care is not a fix all. it’s not even adequate at what it’s supposed to do right now.

No literally, they all just wanna slap a band aid over these issues cause it’s too uncomfortable for them to think critically about it
