I believe in accountability.

Then you should be totally fine with abortion because that's about the most responsible, accountable thing that one can do in that situation. In the event of an unwanted pregnancy, forcing it into being is about that most reckless, unwise thing that could happen because it either means;

A. The child is raised by a parent who resents it.
B. The child is dumped into the already over-crowded orphan/foster system.
C. The child is outright abandoned lord-knows-where and left to die.

For as much as pro-lifers prattle on about the "sacredness" of life, they have an unhealthy obsession with subjecting said life to misery, despair, and death regardless. All this and they rarely, if ever, show any concern for the actual woman being subjected to the rigors of pregnancy and childbirth. Quite the contrary, they love to equate the process as some sort of punishment that she "deserves". Funnier still when they emphasis its a punishment for *her* whole often conveniently ignoring the other half involved to cause said pregnancy. There's *always* a huge dust-up about how "SHE SHOULD BE FORCED TO CARRY IT" but seldomn will you hear a similar cry of "HE SHOULD BE FORCED TO SUPPORT IT". Speaking of that whole "fuck you, you're on your own" mentality... there's a staggeringly high number of pro-lifers that are also anti-welfare/assistance, *especially* towards single mothers. I'm sure you'll chalk that up to that whole "accountability" angle again, but I gotta ask how you expect someone in dire straits to be able to take care of a baby they didn't even want in the first place, unless you're specifically banking on the mother to ditch the kid one way or another.

So yeah, you'll forgive me if I call bullshit when pro-lifers make with all this faux compassion. Those people aren't fooling anyone but themselves when they pretend like they give a fuck about anything but their own feelings.
