Just as bad, incredibly, is a "respectably married "woman who would "kill" her baby for the "selfish convenience" of herself or her family. Once the baby is born, however, it is the duty of the mother, whether or not the father is responsible, to provide for that child (if the father isn't responsible, the "slut" brought it on herself). It is not the responsibility of the conservative, tax-paying citizen to contribute to the upkeep of the child through their taxes (these aren't the people who usually mind paying for the termination of life through war). I'm certainly no expert on the Bible, but many who are often quote that according to the Bible, the soul enters the body with the first breath. Makes sense to me. But now some crazies even want to prevent preemptive pregnancy measures, or villainize even any thought of the INTENT to prevent pregnancy, The very last is completely insane, of course. Nonetheless, on a crowded planet, those who oppose the mildest of population control need to think again.
