All developed nations eventually hit a point where birth rates decline. Banning abortion won't stop that.
This is still a new concept for society so I don't think we can or should just shrug our shoulders and say it'll be grand...
Not you necessarily, but it is something I have noticed a lot from the most vocal opponents of things like birth control and abortion, where when you dig down into their argument it comes down to a view that women should be in traditional roles and combined with a level of racism ("the X are outbreeding us because our women are working and choosing that over lots of children").
It's especially apparent in the "mens rights" types and "traditionalists" in the US.
I may be getting rather cynical, as the most vocal anti abortion types seem to be either "religious" (usually only in the parts they like*), can't understand why women don't fall at their feet, or people that don't think women are able to make decisions on their own, or all three, and once you notice the pattern it's hard to ignore.
*Anti abortion and "an eye for an eye", but very much ignore the "good Samaritan" or "love they neighbour" parts of the Bible.
But again I haven't said anything, so you're extrapolating a lot from little....a reason why everything is becoming so polarised nowadays. There are plenty of forward thinking religious and non religious people who can put forward cogent arguments against abortion.
Why refer to an unborn foetus as a child?
Why are you promoting the removal of a woman's right to do whatever they want with their bodies? If you feel that women need legislation to restrict how they use their own bodies then you don't appear to think they are entitled to be treated equally. Society doesn't have babies, women do. I agree, we should want and expect the best for people, but on what basis do we have that your opinion is 'better' than someone else's, especially as you aren't a woman (BIG assumption here, nothing inferred by it!)?
So a "foetus" the day before birth isn't a child? When exactly is it a child? If you like I can clarify myself better and say call it potentially viable child..
and if you consider it a child then are there not rights that it might have? Or should woman have the rights to terminate up to day of birth? Hell, the child can't live by itself so why should woman have to keep it alive? Why are we not allowed to take drugs and do what we want? When you look at a lot of laws you could question what we are allowed to do...
abortion helps cut crime, reduces reliance on welfare etc.. frankly abortion and birth control need to be encouraged more, especially among people getting pregnant in their teens with no means of supporting the child themselves
Birth control I can understand, abortion I really cannot.
Might help if we promoted abstinence as well, possibly the virtues of marriage? Perhaps if we stopped over sexualising everything from a young age, it would be less of a problem? Rather than putting people through the mill of an abortion?
We are also being Outbred !!
Mooor Babies !!
Not really a case of that (and sounds more ridiculous when you consider my lineage isn't native to the UK). However I would say that society needs a certain stability to function properly. If we aim to change the face of society in a short period of time, you're going to get a lot of dissatisfaction and resentment. Then you get people leaving and your place has more and more tensions (looking at you here america!).
