    Yeah, that’s the really infuriating part. While some people might argue in good faith on the pro-life side, a lot of them don’t.

    A common scenario:

    • A woman who is not ready, equipped and/or willing to have a child gets pregnant and wants to abort.
    • She ends up not doing it (due to laws and/or social pressure) and has the kid.
    • Turns out, she’s not ready, equipped and/or willing to raise the child, and the child ends up neglected in some form.
    • Society turns on the woman telling her she’s a bad mother.

    If it was actually an honest pro-life movement, the pro-lifing wouldn’t end with the birth of the child. Instead, then the movement should step in and be pro-free-school-lunch, pro-free-education, pro-free-child-care and so on.

    But no, it’s all like “You gave birth to this child, so screw you, it’s your own fault, your own responsibility.”
