Have a few thoughts on the topic of abortion and curious to see what people think. If someone is pro-life and says they value the life of the baby yet they cannot guarantee that every unwanted child that is born will have a quality life, is that actually making pro-life an immoral decision and very hypocritical? Meaning if someone is adamantly against abortion yet they are not going to personally adopt every unwanted child that is born to ensure it will have a quality life, or oversee every adoption process to ensure it does, would it actually be immoral to force these unwanted babies to be born into a life of suffering for those who end up having shitty lives because they were unwanted, and they have a life of suffering because someone only cared about whether they were born or not and never bothered or was able to ensure they would actually have a good life? Also one might argue that abortion should not happen because we are depriving the unwanted babies that would have good lives of having their good lives. Aside from the problem of not knowing if an unwanted baby will have a good life or not, it seems immoral to me to force what I'm sure is more unwanted babies to have shitty lives just so some of the other ones can have their good lives. To sum it up, it seems to me that if someone cannot guarantee that every unwanted baby whose mother does not get an abortion will have a quality life, they need to shut their mouth and move on.

@AHWalter1989 we aren't partial to religious dogma here. Nobody dies in an abortion.
