      If it’s an actual baby why doesn’t a pregnant woman get to claim it on her taxes?

      Because the states, including Republicans, don’t see it as a baby either

      And once it’s born, they don’t see it as a person worth protecting

        I never said that Republicans care about life. Just that abortion is wrong. Pro-life means caring for someone their entire life, including after birth and all the way until death.

      Maybe this will make people think twice about getting pregnant.

      Are you implying that women have to be held responsible for their actions? What a bold and sexist argument! It’s easy to evidence it by reversing the genders, can you imagine men being forced to support their children and being held responsible for choosing to have sex? Oh wait, that’s right, but it’s not like they are forced (prioritizing the mother’s whim to raise) even if they are not able to do it or has been raped by the mother… oh wait, that happens too.

      Speaking a bit more seriously I would like to add (since I am sure that many people have not read the news), that the young woman caused the abortion at 23 weeks when there is already a (slim) reasonable viability, and that she had a choice to do it legally until 20 weeks. Also and going back to sexism, that fathers have so few rights that (without a marriage) they can’t even keep their children if the mother chooses to give them up for adoption.

      If murder is illegal, why do you support it? The women dying in childbirth are U.S. citizens, their unborn children are not. That’s way closer to murder than abortion, homie. I would also love to see your defense for why victims of rape need to carry an abuser’s child to term, but I’m sure you never thought that far because your logic stopped at “durr just don’t get pregnant!” If only your kind wasn’t also incredibly opposed to birth control, as well.

      The fact that you can’t see how vile and threatening your statement is tells us all we need to know about you anti-abortion monsters and why we need to re-legalize the practice.
