Woman has best response to anti-abortion protester for only caring about foetus until it's born [View all]
What happens next? Once you have succeeded in your quest to stop the termination of a pregnancy – disregarding the circumstances for why the woman or couple wants to terminate (failed birth control, rape, lack of financial stability, unsuitable environment, domestic violence, mental health issues, lack of employment, medical issues, lack of comprehensive sexual education) – what happens next?
Who pays for the prenatal or postnatal care? Surely not a couple working minimum wage who can barely afford their rent. Who provides healthcare and funds medical bills for single women with no place to live? Or a married couple who struggle to afford the children they already have? Who assists the millions of children in foster care still waiting to be adopted? Who helps them when they hit the street at 18 with no money or life skills?
She continued – who will find affordable birth control? Healthcare and education?
“That’s the parent’s responsibility,” the anti-abortionist cautiously responded.
And there’s the money shot. Here’s a wakeup call – you don’t get to come into my inbox and shit all over my Sunday with your over-inflated Messiah complex with your Facebook profile filled with delusions of superiority declaring yourself to be on the side of “life”, when in reality your compassion stops just inside the vaginal canal.
Don’t embarrass yourself and pretend that you give a flying f**k about what happens once a foetus is born, or about the people who aren’t equipped to raise them. Don’t pretend you give a shit about children when you aren’t prepared to do a damn thing about the millions of struggling families on welfare, or the millions of children in foster care..
