A recent thread titled "Was Your Lifesaver's Life Just Saved?" was a real eye opener. The number 2 reason pro-choicers cited for abortion was that the baby would grow up to be a criminal anyways and society would be better off to end it's life before it escaped from the womb.
But by far, the number 1 reason to abort was that the mother was low income. It was repeated over and over and we've seen it in just about every abortion thread.
If you are over the age of 50 you probably should have been aborted according to today's pro-choicers' standards. If you are older than 60, you likely had even less money growing up.... unless of course, you were lucky enough to be conceived by parents who had higher than average incomes. That excluded everyone in my neighborhood. All my neighborhood friends should have been aborted 6-7 decades ago. Our parents worked their butts off and still struggled for necessities. No kids in my neighborhood had luxuries.
Minority neighborhoods had it even worse.
Go back to the pioneer days with dirt floors, no running water, no electricity, no hospitals, little food, no toilet paper. Heck, they didn't have DP forums. They were much worse off than today's poor. Why in the world would you not abort your fetus?
So, go ahead and cite other reasons for abortion if you want, but you liberals need to stop with this nonsense of using the number one reason to abort as financial. History has shown you are wrong. Most of us older folks here on DP are living proof of that.
