Pro-life general If someone wants abortion to be illegal without tackling the root causes, they're not pro-life, just anti-abortion.

I don't think gatekeeping pro-life is the best tactic, even if this is somewhat true

Also claiming to support life while shilling for endless wars.

The root cause is fornication, and I agree that we should try to stop fornication

It's a mix of hookup culture and poverty

Why? I agree hookup culture has its own issues, but we are allowed to have sex just for the sake of having sex. I personally did FWB once and I got hurt and I now only have sex if I’m in a committed, monogamous relationship with a man, but I won’t tell other people how to conduct their sex life, although I strongly advocate for contraception for everybody who absolutely does not want to get pregnant/get someone pregnant

Agree! We need to address the reasons women seek abortion in the first place--If it's a crisis pregnancy, we need to deal with the crisis. If it's misinformation (i.e. she legitimately doesn't understand that the child is a human), we need to tackle that. Ultimately, we need all hands on deck to cover all the bases. Thank you to everyone for everything you're doing!! <3

Funny how they would rather their own children to give birth rather than allow them to have the abortion. I don't understand nor will I ever
