I don’t want to debate abortion. People obviously have strong feelings on each
side, and there’s likely a near zero chance their opinions will be changed,
especially from a social media post.
However, I do wonder how many states with “trigger laws”
also automatically have written in to also increase spending and expand
corresponding social programs.
Presumably, if a group desires to take the decision out of the hands of
the family, mother, and doctor and put it in the hands of the government, they
know/expect the end result to be increased births of children that will require
support. Some, if not a majority, of these
children will likely be born into difficult (or even dangerous) physical,
financial, emotional, and/or environment circumstances. How many in this group are actively preparing
now through places such as their church, to increase their volunteerism? How many are preparing to increase targeted
donations? How many are supporting politicians
that will dedicate funds to expand support and infrastructure to give these
children the best possible chance at life?
Because if all life is precious, then it continues to be precious after
birth, correct?
Or is it after the government forces a decision on a mother
and/or her family, that the government is too big, my taxes are too high, too
many people are on welfare, and they should learn to fend for themselves and a
child we say she must have? If all life
is precious, then shouldn’t we also care about drug use, gun violence, and education
and opportunity disparity? Shouldn’t we
also care about gay rights, and shouldn’t black lives matter? If not, isn’t it a bit hypocritical to fight
for a life by forcing a decision on a stranger without regard to her
circumstance, to only then abandon her and her baby? That doesn’t seem very pro-life. So if all life is precious and must be
brought into this world, then I assume you’re prepared to see it all the way
through and well beyond that child’s birth.
