Yeah I'm catholic so that definitely plays into it, and like i said it's not a good happy thing. It's a medical procedure to end a pregnancy, and is not something that could ever be confused with happy times. I also didn't fully appreciate how completely harsh our society is for the poor when i was younger. I didn't grow up rich, but i also didn't grow up in abject poverty complete with substance abuse, physical and sexual abuse, coercion and horrible choices made for you by circumstance. I honestly was sheltered from that thankfully, and so it was easy for me to accept the mantra pushed by the church that abortion is simply selfish people killing babies, and by simply ending abortion those kids have a chance to do what God intended for them.
But the sad reality is that no one wants them at all. It's one thing to drop off some canned goods during food drives and another to fully raise a child. Here in peoria il most of the money has been moving further away from peoria and going into suburbs, directly reducing funding for schools and roads. This way the taxes from their mc mansion can go directly to the 1 school where their kids go, rather than to the schools where everyone else goes. They won't even fund public schools, yet they think they have a say in other people's lives. They also maintain the "you should only marry good girls with no kids", making having a child out of wedlock a shameful thing in the first place.
I'm still against abortion, i just don't think outlawing it is the way to fix the problem. Contraception should be readily available to all, for free, and should be encouraged to all. Rather than trying to control people having sex, we should make sure they're educated and healthy. We're the only developed country on earth without free healthcare, so we need to pretend that we're the leader of the world again and catch up. Let's give mothers time off from work without losing income, so that way someone won't have to choose between work and a kid. Let's slow down helping the rich and start helping the people that need it. Let's have a minimum wage that people can actually live on, so everyone can actually feed a family without working themselves to death. Let's have intelligent drug laws so we can help people get out of addiction rather than being incarcerated and resorting to sex work to pay for it. Once you've gotten rid of the reasons people have to resort to getting an abortion then abortion goes away on its own for the most part.
