(11,251 posts)To me, if you care so deeply about children and unborn lives, but have ZERO adopted babies that you care for and raise as a matter of principle...well, then I kindly invite you to have a nice tall glass of "STFU!!" and get back to me after you DO adopt a few unwanted pregnancy children. Otherwise, men like that need to stay out of women's uterus and reproductive issues, period, full stop, no pun intended.
Like so many on the religious right, this issue is NOTHING about the child or the life being "saved" and EVERYTHING about control and punishment / slut-shaming women incessantly. They don't really care at all about the welfare or existence of the child - if they did, there would be howls of protest DAILY about the state of the public schools and the lunch programs that in some cases will be the only warm meal that a child receives. They care deeply about the fact that a woman had sex - either by choice (Read: the slut was throwing it around and DESERVES a pregnancy to teach her a lesson) or by force (Read: that slut was dressed provocatively and should have known better and had it coming to her for refusing to be modest like me, the pregnancy will teach her a lesson and punish her for such choices too).
These Luddites and prudes can all STFU and either start massive adoption and child care initiatives or just admit they are truly anti-women and anti-choice because it lets "those undeserving women get away with sex".
Many of these same mewling jackasses were the ones demanding to "show me the birth certificate" as well...so, my retort is simple: "Show me your papers please." (Adoption papers that is...)
