So anti-abortion anti-stemcell people, now that you have forced the birth of so many children to be born to mothers that hate their children and see them as a burden, are you or are you not going to pay for therapy for said children?

Never once do I see anyone in the pro-life movement want to pay for therapy for children who were born because of rape, incest, or mothers who hate them or are not ready for them. They dont want to pay for therapy, they dont want to pay for college for them, they dont want to pay for their food, they dont want to pay for their clothes or diapers.<br><br>Then has the audacity to call them pro-life. <br><br>They are not pro-life, they are pro-birth. They are not pro-life, they are in fact anti-life. They are forcing life into existence to starve, go without clothes, to be homeless, to walk around depressed without help, to walk around with trauma without help. They are essentially forcing people to walk around like dead mean walking on the outside, empty on the inside.<br><br>Yet they say they are pro-life. They are not. They are anti-life.<br><br>The only ones who truly are pro-life are the pro-choice people, who actually show they care about the well-being of people, not just before they are born, but after they are born as well.<br><br>Edit: I want to mention that I am pro-life, but I dont actually believe in abortion except in rare cases. But I am pro-life. My reasoning however is that the government and anti-abortion people should pay for 100% of the expenses for the life of said child until they turn 18 or finish college. This includes therapy, food, clothes, medical expenses, college tuition, tooth-brushes. Everything. 100% paid for by the government or tax on anti-abortion people. This is the only instance in which I would allow abortions to not happen. Essentially, you want to take control over a womans body, you pay for it. <br><br>But I see this as the only instance in which you could call yourself pro-life, otherwise you are just pro-birth. They want to be called pro-life, fine, they pay for all the expenses for life. <br><br>And also just for anyone else thinking that adoption is an answer, it is not. There is a huge shortage of adoptive parents in the world.<br><br>Edit 2 : I just want to mention that I am pro-choice and also happen to be a Christian. But not a Christian in the way that many are. I do not believe that you have to follow the Bible word for word, that is stupid in my opinion. But I do follow the message of it. One of the messages is to love your neighbor and care for them. It is entirely possible to be a Christian and pro-choice, you can care for said child without making them born against their will.
