In 1975, my sister just turned 16 and discovered she was pregnant
with her 20 yo boyfriend. Never thought to use birth control.

I was leaving for college and she confided in me.

And I helped her get a LEGAL abortion.

There were several considerations in my decision. First, she was too young to be a mother emotionally and psychologically. She wasn't even mature enough to engage in sex. Next, our father would have been off-the-leash with irrational anger if he knew about the pregnancy. Dad was more than a strict parent. He was the guard to the jail. I had been the Family Scapegoat who allegedly and regularly brought woe to the Family and my sister was The Golden Child. This crisis would have switched our statuses in the family. And part of me would have welcomed it. But I bailed my sister out. Finally, I thought of the proposition if the baby had been carried to term. As previously mentioned, my sister would have failed as a mother. Our mother was more than ambivalent about raising us and I'm certain she wouldn't have assumed responsibility for my sister's baby. Or the baby would have been quietly born and adopted. No good options. So, I gave more than $200 I had saved up over years to my sister. And she had a safe abortion.

Epilogue: My sister continued to go through a raft of boyfriends, this time with BC. She married and discovered she couldn't conceive. My niece/nephew would be 49 next year. And having time to ruminate, yes, I'd do it again.

What's makes being "quietly born and adopted" not a good option? Because you couldn't say that you helped murder a baby? They really are an evil bunch.

Correlation does not automatically equal causation, but there are connections with abortions and infertility.

However, you completely skipped over the most important one.

The DUchebags DUmmys are not just misguided or wrong, these "people" are evil to the core. That statement proves it.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

So the abortion killed a human being, shielded a statutory rapist, encouraged a decade or two of promiscuity, and very possibly caused infertility, either directly or due to promiscuity-related STD(s). That's probably a better set of outcomes to the cynically named no_hypocrisy than the risk of a Catholic or Evangelical Pro-Life couple adopting the child and raising him/her to be a moral person.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

You said it perfectly. :thatsright:

But to the ones who worship at the altar of abortion it’s a very necessary part of women’s health care. :mental:
Life is tough and it’s even tougher when you’re stupid

Basking in the glow of my white Privilege and toxic masculinity while I water the Begonias with liberal tears!

I will give up my guns when the liberals give up their illegal aliens

We need a Bull Shit tax to make the Democrats go broke!
