Two reasons:
1) It is a definite eventuality that they will demand that WE pay for their abortions (already happening.)
2) Ask any current-day conservatives who were born to liberal parents but saw the light.
In training right now in ob-gyn. Got to see an 8 week “confirmatory” transvaginal ultrasound yesterday. The little form inside the woman’s womb was unmistakably human ...the little heart was just beating away, like a little flashing pulse. Came over loud and clear on the machine.
The parents were enthralled. She was 8 weeks. They were african american, so I was happy that they had not sacrified their child as so many AA’s do. Most abortions are “pushed” to take place at least before 12 weeks.
How can people look at this ...and then abort?
Why aren’t women offered these before the abortions?? If they saw this ...only the worse monsters would choose abortion.
I guess they prevent women from obtaining these early ultrasounds at Planned Murderhood. Telliing the truth would eat into profits.
Then again, I do feel there is a signficant portion of people now who KNOW it’s a baby, will admit it’s a baby, and yet have no problem doing away with it, if it’s inconvenient for them at the time. It’s just how it is ...they don’t care if it’s “not the right time” for them. It’s legal, they tell themselves, and so they go through with it.
Gotta really be “in the zone” to do that.
There is no shortage of Republicans who really believe that government-funded abortions would be a dandy way to cut the welfare rolls. They’ve largely been hiding under a rock since Reagan, but they’ve always been out there.
