Why do conservatives want to ban abortion, but then?

They also want to ban gay adoption?

Like, obviously- if you want to ban abortion, there will be MILLIONS more unwanted babies.

Are you gonna pay the mothers to keep them? Where are they gonna go? Burden the foster system?

Who will take the kids? I'm not for regulating what happens to a woman's uterus, but it makes sense that if there's gonna be more kids, then gay parents are just what we need to deal with the influx.

What are your thoughts?

Update:

Pat: So what you're saying is that if women had made "better choices" (Like contraception not failing, not being raped or not having an ectopic pregnancy) then they wouldn't have to live with it? So you think abortion shouldn't be an option when accidents happen?

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I saw LOADS of conservatives wanting to ban abortion around, oh...campaign time.

    In the United States, they also legally can dump there children outside of hospitals like unwanted Christmas pets too.

    As well Americans are globally know for abandoning thousands of their children in Vietnam..

    http://www.nytimes.com/2000/07/23/world/a-hard-lif...

    Also they are globally known for throwing there children out of there homes onto the street if they are gay, over 45% of the homeless youth on the streets in the United States are identified as LGBT.

    Yet these very same 'god loving' religious Americans have the ignorant hide to act holier than thou, when it comes to abortion, or towards gay couples wanting to adopt. It just clearly shows what kind of people they really are. If they were so intoned with this, how every life is precious blah blah, blah, Why is this happening, also the high rates of child verbal, mental and physical abuse are found in the United States as well. This just shows, how double standard they really are.

    You should google what Americans cruelly do to mentally challenged children in the United States. Since there are kids who use this forum and very horrific to mention,so it's best to google it.

    The problem is their usage of Evangelical values in their politics. Common sense will dictate that if you followed their plan fully there would be serious issues in this country. What you said is right.. and even if they supported gay adoption there would still be more kids than there would be parents. If you ban abortion in MODERN times (this is not the 60s and I think they need to get that into their heads, this is not the Reagan era either.. and I think Reagan did more harm than good as president but his harm took a long time to unwind.. I think he stepped into office at a good time and that's it).

    Freedom of religion should exist but the conservative party promotes one religion's strong values and gives you no freedom from religion and therefore no freedom of it. Conservatives generally don't think about what you just said and their focus is on promoting their religious values and old school economic plans.

    So to answer your question it's because they haven't though about it or simply don't care as long as they impose their morals on everyone else.

    ---------

    Info to the extent in which abortions are paid for.. you can make a decision from here since many conservatives complain about abortions being paid for by the government. To be honest I find the conservative argument there a joke.

    Conservatives believe that abortion is too important an issue to be left to only the woman in consultation with her doctor. Its better decided by corpulent old men , obsessed with ludicrous bronze age myths

    After all - life begins at conception , when the soul enters the "body" . Logically then, identical twins therefore each have only half a soul - human chimera on the other hand , each have two souls

    You sound like the stupid pukes that voted for birth control pills over fical sanity. There are no bills to ban abortion. The only complaint about the federal governenment providing then is that people who do not believe in it are forced to participate. That is a violation of the First Amendment. If you don't want babies don't have them. Abortion is legal. If you want one go get it and pay for your own. Biologically speaking unless you are your mother's body a fetus is not the mothers body. A fetus and a mother do not have Identical DNA. A fetus is alive. It is a human life.

    you're merely attempting to initiate a strive against. Reword your question. Christians do no longer favor killing little ones to be a be counted of convenience. that's what abortion quantities to...it truly is willfully killing a toddler. certain, the toddler is youthful. certain, the toddler must be a "cluster" of cells. that continues to be a residing man or woman with fee. It has no criminal rights, even if it nonetheless has fee in a large number of Christian's critiques. Many Christians believe that rape isn't a be counted of convenience. Nor do Christians believe that life threatening situations are a be counted of convenience. If even if, an human being behaves irresponsibly, then abortion for the sake of convenience ought to no longer be an selection. it fairly is clearly homicide for the sake of the mummy's convenience. it isn't accessible to feed and dress seriously disabled human beings which comprise some elderly. yet we proceed to finish that. it isn't accessible for an unmarried couple to have a baby; yet they proceed to have sex? Do you note a large difference? it truly is time for human beings to settle for duty and responsibility for his or her movements. being pregnant mostly is a organic results of two human beings's selection to have sex. Why no longer settle for the organic outcomes of that selection? it fairly is being an human being. it fairly is being to blame and to blame. being pregnant isn't, little ones at the on the spot are not a be counted of convenience. there's a large difference.

    I think that the conservatives are too in depth with their beliefs to think clearly honestly if you don't want abortion to be legal, but you're for war where many other lives will be lost, then we have a problem and a mix up.

    Spoken like a true liberal that doesn't understand the conservative position.

    Nobody wants to ban abortion. Conservatives don't think that the government (in other words my taxes) should be responsible for PAYING for abortions.

    Conservatives believe in personal responsibility. If you don't want to take care of a child, then don't get pregnant. A young woman's poor decision making should not relieve her of the responsibility for that decision.

    Liberals and the corps of Women's rights activist want you to forget that there was decision made nine months prior to the birth of the child. That is the decision we should focus on. If you don't want to raise a child, don't get pregnant. If you don't want to get pregnant, use contraception, if you don't trust contraception, don't have sex.

    Pretty simple concept. At no point should the government be held responsible for your decision making.

    Gay people should have the same rights as any other person. I see nothing wrong with gay people adopting children.

    I don't want to ban either.

    Gay adoption is better than being raised in an orphanage.
