How Abortion Actually Hurts Women

http://www. foxnews. com/story/0,2933,377181,00. html

Unplanned births and so called “illigitimate births” in the US soared after the legalization of abortion. Why is that interesting? Because abortion proponents said that unplanned births would DECREASE.

But what happened was that women took LESS precaution because abortion was there as a back up plan, and then many of them realized the couldn’t actually go through with it.

Did you know that women could get abortions before 1973 if they were raped or their lives were in danger? Roe v Wade did nothing to further the ability of women to get proper health care; it simply made it easier to get rid of a child you didn’t want for convenience’ sake.

Here’s something racist Margaret Sanger didn’t bank on:

“For black women, unplanned births soared from 35 percent to 62 percent……” and the rise of single parent homes has sky rocketed in the years since Roe V Wade.

Men who would have normally stuck around to help raise the children, now thought, “Why should I stick around? I never wanted a kid; she could have had an abortion. I’m out of here.”

Abortion has basically given men a free pass put their penises where they want without worrying. Because abortion may be a woman’s right, but she also has to live with the consequences of it.

And now men think; well, it’s HER CHOICE, let her live with that choice.

So, this choice that was meant to liberate women actually placed women at an even great economic and social disparity. And if you’re a minority in this country, the deck is doubly stacked against you. Most single parent homes are headed by women. Women make less than men. And all you women out there know how incredibly difficult it is to raise kids and work. Even if you get a good paying job; if you’re a single parent plan to spend a BIG chunk on childcare expenses.

Single mom’s can’t devote as much time to their careers so they often fall behind in their earning power.

Abortion may have eliminated “unwanted children” (what a cold cold phrase), but it increased the amount of children raised in single parent homes, and the social and economic toll is undeniable. Children born after liberalized abortion rules have suffered a series of problems from difficulties at school to more crime.

Think about it; how bad have kids become? We have all seen it; it’s hard to wrap your mind around it. A friend of mine just shared a story about a FIVE YEAR OLD who tried to burn down his grandmother’s house with HER IN IT because she wouldn’t let him go to the park.

The rise in gang violence and school shootings is not a coincidence. From 1960 to 1991, reported violent crime increased by an incredible 372 percent. This was in spite of the pro abortion argument that abortion would decrease crime because all those “unwanted children” wouldn’t be around to cause problems.

How altruistic and caring those pro abortion people were!

“Legalized abortion actually increased crime. Those born in the four years after Roe were much more likely to commit murder than those born in the four years prior.”

So please, keep telling me how liberating abortion is.
