This is what happens when anti-abortion zealots, particularly Catholic anti-abortion zealots, gain control of legislatures: [abc.net.au]
These "zealots" and other religious cranks are quick to point the finger and sprout anti abortion rhetoric, but how often do they support the mother and her child for life? pay for the child's education and or special needs?
Are these righteous people willing to rear the child themselves if the mother cannot or will not??
I have not ever heard of such a thing happening have you?
Just two blocks down the street from the Planned Parenthood clinic where I work...there's a "Women's Health Clinic" which brags that they'll support a pregnancy. Anyone who's ever been a parent knows that a few diapers, some formula and a baby blanket is LUDICROUS when you consider educational costs, orthodontistry, etc. It's insulting and ludicrous.
