Why is a baby worth so little to you?
Why is it that when people don't want them they are just a fetus, but when they do they are their baby? In fact people have been convicted of murder for unborn babies, most notably Scott Peterson for murdering his wife and unborn son. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Laci_Peterson
Quote:Then you do not fall into "The majority people living at poverty level" category. The people *I* consider as living in poverty are those who cannot, or can hardly, afford proper meals and shelter...
Life almost always wants to live and keep living... but that is 'not the point'. If you cannot get out of the situation you were in Eilon... then the odds are highly in favor of you perishing. You say you needed health care... and yet you probably didn't get it until after you got out of poverty? That is a problem... a problem that should not ever have to occur.
When in poverty, a child is a very expensive thing to care for. If your parents had not chosen to have you and your other siblings when they did: they probably could have had a secure home for you to live in. And then they could have you without fearing survival every day. They could have brought up their children in a MUCH better situation... and yet they chose selfishly to have you when they did.
If your mother had not had Liz, then the resources allocated for her could have been used to better home life for the lot of you. Your sister's decision was intelligent and her success as a result is why one should avoid having children young.
It is entirely the mother's choice... but she should consider every single option before she has or aborts the child. She should especially consider her economical status in this matter, and realize that having children is simply bad for one's budget flexibility, and that children cost a great deal of money to raise.
I agree with your last statement entirely
My parents did not selfishly chose to have me when they did. They planned for me and my older sister, money problems came much later in life, so I resent your statement, especially when you made it without knowing facts. And even if it were true, even if I wasn't plan, then fuck you. How dare you tell me my parents are selfish for loving and wanting me. Do you value life so little that such a momentous decision is easily relegated to how well off you are?
You seem to think abortion is so easy. Don't have the money? Well let's get rid of it! Every woman who have had abortions for that very reason can tell you decision is NOT that easy and it stays with them the rest of their life. My sister still feels troubled and guilty. Maybe she made the right decision, who knows. But either way it was hard, and not so easy to come to just because of money. Every situation is complex, so I would suggest you refrain from judging when you don't know all the facts.
I love my sister and I am damn glad to have her in my life, I wouldn't want it any other way. She's a joy in my life and no amount of money problems would ever make me wish my mother aborted her.
