First point, not all teen and/or out-of-wedlock pregnancies are unwanted. Your basic premise is flawed.
Second point, the majority of people in rural, conservative areas are smart enough to know that a pregnant woman is carrying a child, not a "blob." It doesn't matter what stage of pregnancy; the embryo is human, the fetus is human, there is no stage of pregnancy in which the mother is carrying a dog or a monkey or a tumor, so far more women prefer to carry their child, not murder him or her. In fact, a lot of us have trouble understanding why "compassionate, tolerant, loving" Democrats tend to murder so many children.
Maybe they just aren't smart enough to understand what a child is until they can actually see with their own eyes?
Third point, many people are smart enough to understand that an unwanted pregnancy does not equal an unwanted child. Conversely, a wanted pregnancy does not always equal a wanted child, as we see from the continuing increase in child abuse statistics. There is no amount of abortion that will cause every child to be wanted.
Fourth point, Planned Parenthood does one thing well... killing children. Well, actually, they do other things well, like absorbing government money and using political clout to keep increasing their revenue, but as far as HEALTH is concerned, their one "claim to fame" is the murder of children. Conversely, Crisis Pregnancy Centers can help pregnant women with free pregnancy tests that are official and can be used for government assistance programs. Many can provide ultrasounds. Almost all can provide many other basic necessities like maternity clothing, baby clothes and blankets, diapers, formula, and will request donations for specific needs like cribs, car seats, preemie clothes, etc. Why would we want a useless child-murdering money-dump instead of a pregnancy center?
Final point, it looks to me as though you are a "typical liberal." You have so absorbed the leftist excuse for logic that you have trouble understanding any other viewpoint. Your attitude seems to be that no one could possibly want a child if they happen to be under 20, or if they became pregnant unexpectedly, or if they don't happen to have enough money to "afford" a child right now. This is simply a false premise entirely.
From a personal perspective, I had my first child at 19. I was unmarried when he was conceived. I never wished I had murdered him, and am immensely proud of that child. He served in the military, is currently a civilian employee of the Navy, and has a beautiful daughter.
Two of my daughters have had children at 19, also. Neither are married. None of their children are unwanted. One has 2 sons, now 10 and 8, and is raising them as a single mom...and doing a good job of it. The other has a 3 year old daughter and is currently pregnant with her second. She can't afford to live on her own anymore, so recently moved back home (an option we prefer over having her on welfare.) We'll help with her expenses until she gets on her feet; or until her boyfriend mans-up, marries her, and starts supporting his family.
My niece recently had to deal with an unwanted pregnancy. Her mother demanded that she abort for many reasons, including the fact that the mother "didn't want to be a grandmother already." (Need we say that the mother is a liberal??
) My brother was willing to help her if she kept the baby, so she finally came to visit with me and my daughters. She was close to believing that her mom was right, she was just too young and irresponsible to have a child, but she changed her mind after spending some time with my younger daughter and her baby. She chose to keep her child, Thank God, and is a wonderful, loving mother to that little girl now. Having her baby had "the normal effect" on her, she became far more responsible and was able to get a decent job managing a motel. She is currently pregnant with her second, and planning her wedding to the father of her kids.
Maybe it's because liberals so often just don't grow up and become responsible adults...but they often seem to be completely self absorbed. Just as the woman mentioned above, she wanted her granddaughter killed mostly because she thought she was too young to be a grandmother, (vain, vain, vain), but also because she just can't understand that
most people, when faced with the reality of life,
do manage to grow up! It's a good thing that most people grow into conservatives! The world would be a truly sorry place if liberals were anywhere near a majority.
