His argument centers around the anti-abortion position that “babies are being killed.” But these pregnancies are either unwanted or there is a medical problem. If the government is going to force women to give birth, who’s going to ensure the welfare of the unwanted child?
There are more people who want to adopt and cannot. But that is a separate argument. Unwanted is different from medical issues. Unfortunately abortion had become a form of birth control. If it was rare and safe it would not have become an issue.
Actually, abortion had been on the decline for years after Roe v Wade. Abortion became legal, safe, and more rare. Most women were just trying to live their lives. Evangelicals and opportunistic politicians made it an issue. So how is the so-called pro-life movement making things better?
It's making it better for all those babies... But I don't want to be arguing about abortion. I'm actually not against abortions except for late term abortions. I am for more babies, though. I do think all abortion clinics need to show ultrasounds to their clients and have a waiting period.
How can you be certain it’s making it better for all those babies? If a baby isn’t wanted, it can be born into a nightmare existence; abuse, poverty, disability. But the basic issue is whether the government can force a woman to give birth. I don’t think it can, maybe you do.
