This is a lacking argument.The thing I hate most about pro lifers is how little they give a shit about the child’s quality of life once it’s born. Grows up in a crack house? Who cares. Grows up starving because of poverty? Who gives a shit. Grows up being molested? Not our problem. As long as it wasn’t aborted, it’s all good. I’d rather be aborted and not exist than grow up in any of those scenarios.
Conservatives are more anti-drug than the pro-life (usually progressive) crowd. Children can break the cycle of poverty. The third scenario is an extreme. If you asked any pro-lifer (not moid) they’re obviously going to say these are all bad scenarios that can’t be reasonably predicted.
I just think about this topic often. It’s a popular line of reasoning line I always thought was unconvincing and a goalpost shift, though recently I think there‘s some truth esp in terms of forcing children to give birth. The whole “but what if the woman giving birth is poor” will never sit right with the broader societal implications.
