DaasYochid – if you could show direct proof that more social welfare would prevent abortions maybe you would have an argument but as I mentioned that is probably impossible or practically impossible to prove.
But what I’m really trying to get at is we shouldn’t be approaching the subject from the vantage point of “maybe if we give out more money abortion rates will go down”. We should be approaching it from the point of “Abortion is murder and therefore should not be allowed because murder is wrong and evil”
The main problem is that people think it’s ok to murder an innocent human being in an extremely barbaric way. Just because they don’t have enough money does not make that ok. If somebody is on rough times does that justify going around killing people? So then how would it justify killing a child?
If people can’t wrap their heads around this concept then it will take a lot more than just government assistance to improve things.
