Who is going to pay for all of that? The main reason why a woman gets an abortion is because she is financially unstable and cannot afford to care for a child. Sure, it would be nice for a man to have the chance, but the amount of stigma around pregnancy. A abortion is for a woman not a man. A woman's body is more affected by the outcome, and if the man wanted the child then most likely she would not be having an abortion. Plus, how are you suppose to enforce that? Is the clinic suppose to do a house check to see if everything is okay? Because then you are going down the rabbit hole of how people that are not white are disproportionately affected by home checks. It is better to not have regulation on who can get an abortion because then you will have people that need this procedure but are rejected due to these laws.

“The main reason why a woman gets an abortion is because she is financially unstable and cannot afford to care for a child.”
I disagree with this, because why would a woman get pregnant, but be financially unstable. If this is the case, then why did she even decide to get pregnant if she could not afford to care for the child. Remember this was her choice to get pregnant.

Not always the choice to get pregnant
@93QNXYQ3yrs3Y
The idea that its okay to be having unprotected sex when you cannot financially afford a child is so irresponsible and so ignorant that the only answer is DONT HAVE SEX until you are mature enough to do it responsibly. Sex for young girls at ages under 18 shouldnt be considered a right. If a girl has not even finished high school when shes having sex then she needs to understand that she either is going to have a difficult time financially caring for a baby, or that shes going to have to put it up for adoption. She is ill prepared to make those chouces herself. Again...thats not a good enough reason to have an abortion.

What about in the cases of rape or incest? What if the mother DID plan for a baby, but in early pregnancy is having complications? Your argument is just shaming women for having sex, nothing pro life about that.
@WhatisaWoman?2yrs2Y
Just because you don't want to have a kid doesn't mean you can kill it. Rape is an awful thing, but the father's sin doesn't justify killing his child.

The choice was in the action of having intercourse, the risk is pregnancy. When you decide to get intimate, and I actually mean in the case where both parties consent, you consent to the risk. If not, its like consenting to jump off a bridge without a bungee chord but not consenting to severe injury or death.
While it usually would be the mother's choice, I do understand that there are cases where the mother didn't have a say in this or was misinformed. I disagree with abortions because I believe mothers should be held accountable for their choices and that abortions got in the way of that, but in cases where there is no accountability and the mother did this against her will, I do want to keep abortion as a thing because I believe that a woman should have a say in stuff like this, but to ensure she will commit to these responsibilities before doing the act. To infringe on that freedom is unacceptable and will be corrected.
Bold of you to assume they weren't on birth control. 85% are btw.
@99VD6VGConstitution2yrs2Y
What's bolder is the devilish crime of murdering the unborn!
@3XHTYDXRepublican3yrs3Y
Of course the assumption here is that they aren’t on birth control as we are discussing pregnancy. Can you get pregnant with birth control? Yes of course. But can we assume broadly that most people who get pregnant are not using birth control? Yes we can.
@8YH9W65Progressive3yrs3Y
It's not always a womans choice to get pregnant. And also, why do people buy drugs, electronics, and other things when they are financially unstable? Abortions should be normal healthcare, financially unstable or not.
@99VD6VGConstitution2yrs2Y
This is something no one seems to get. No matter where the baby comes from, even if you wanted it, it's still as much a baby as it would be if you wanted it! Merciful heavens! Don't murder to make you feel better about something someone else did to you! You have no right!
@8ZF6XM4Women’s Equality3yrs3Y
Then it's also her choice to get an abortion. Plus sometimes she never asked for one so why get one.
@9B7ZJLM2yrs2Y
There's actually tons of evidence right under your nose if you'd bother to look it up. More than half regret their decision.
“There is no evidence showing that the woman has her mental wellness affected from an abortion.”
Counseling is not just to guide someone whose mental wellness. There are Counselors trained for all kinds of things. A counselor dealing with abortion will probably ask the client why they want the abortion and will work with them to see if either getting an abortion is justified, or if there are programs that can suit the mother's needs.
