The more videos I see of "scholars" on Twitter, the less I'm inclined to disagree with Margret Sanger.
Boom!
Thank you

Part of the liberal and conservative differences on abortion is similar to the difference in static tax models vs kinetic tax models (Laffer Curve). (Think of the arguments from pro-tax-hiking Dims that raising taxes by 100% would increase government revenue by 100%, but us conservatives say it wouldn't raise revenue that much, perhaps even lower revenue.) Basically, in my pro-life belief I'm convinced that if the people making babies had to raise them they'd learn to quit making them. We're wrong in the assumption that without abortion there would have been 60+ million more welfare babies over the past 50 years.
We have historical precedent for my belief. In the Great Depression (before the welfare state and before abortion became a thing except in rare occurrences) birth rates dropped heavily because nobody wanted to make babies they couldn't afford to raise. The baby boom generation that followed was making up not just for time lost during World War 2, but also for time lost before that during the Great Depression. Obviously there were exceptions such as with my father's family who grew up on a farm and was self-sustaining (and thus kept making babies as did many farming families).
Thus, if we were successful in getting rid of abortion (and welfare if I had my way) there would be only a brief period of extra babies that we'd argue over who had to raise before the people making the unwanted babies learned to quit making them unless they were ready to raise them.

Good post, deserves to be read in its entirety.
I pray you get your way. :-)
The same folks who will march/riot against euthanizing unwanted puppies and kittens at shelters, or eating baby calf veal, demand to have their own babies ripped out of their wombs and sold to science or put down a disposal. What/WHY???
Poll: 1 in 4 Democrats Are Single-Issue
Democrats always pimping for a damned free ride on the gravy train let the tax payer pay for my stupidity and F/U’s.
That remaining 88% aren’t pro-life, they just aren’t most concerned with abortion yes as the only thing they really care about. Plenty of them still like killing kids, just not their top priority.
