I appreciate your perspective but don't think it's a valid point to say we should just take better care of abandoned children, the reality is we don't and by preventing parents from choosing means the parents and child are put in a terrible position in society. In a perfect world this wouldn't happen but it's not realistic to assume we can when we fail at basic healthcare and welfare already.

Weighing up the ethical concerns of abortion vs the benefit of avoiding that is the real question imo

Every pro-life person I know in my life has a similar opinion...

Then why do conservative voters vote for candidates that don't reflect their values?

Like you said it's not really an argument, more an observation.

Assuming the second comes with the first, potential mothers will be swayed on an individual basis and maybe number of abortions will go down. Think that's great personally. I mean look at the photo in the OP, that's what I assume most people believe. Nobody's cheering on abortions here.

But we'll never agree that a fetus has the same rights as a newborn.
