>> I consider it immoral to bring a child into the world with the knowledge that it will suffer because you cannot support it. Either abstain from sex or use contraception but do not knowingly and purposely cause suffering based on a personal belief (that makes it selfish).
What level of “suffering” is required before life is no longer worth living? Are you confident enough in your answer to decide that someone else will suffer too much to make their life worthwhile?
Giving life always creates the opportunity for suffering ... but also the opportunity for happiness. Some of the happiest people I have ever encountered have endured some of the worst suffering.

I didn’t suggest extinguishing life merely preventing it’s creation in the first place. Anytime a choice is involved that prevents a far more serious choice from being made I err on the side of prevention. Why create a situation where such a horrible “choice” has to be made when a little self control will make it a non issue?
I should add I am staunchly against abortion and even more so when it is a result of poor choices in the first place.
wow. At any given time a human being can suffer, a child, a teenager, middle aged and older. Myself in my 50’s am disabled because of a disease with sickness and pain and I wonder how many people, progressives would consider me and those like me as taking up space. It is difficult but rewarding because if our Lord suffered and brought redemption with it for all, then too I can accept the suffering with him and offer myself up in prayer of thanksgiving. No one gets away from suffering. My mother in law just had a stroke after just a few years my father in law had a stroke. he can no longer talk and had complications. It’s the love of one another through the example of Christ that we are to give to the world. With birth control which was planned parenthood’s answer to minimizing the numbers of abortions was a lie since the introductions of BC many women still have abortions. I know women who went through abortions, more than one for most of them, some wanting to replace the child they had aborted only to abort another child. For many years these women still grieve for their children but women never think of the children they lost through some forms for BC. But the darkness is never settled with just abortion or just BC it spreads out to bring more darkness to the world, adultery, divorce, gay marriage. Homosexuals say of heterosexuals if they can abort and practice BC why are we held to a different standard because we can’t have children?
