Romania shows what abortion and birth control bans can really do

We have China, who put strict regulations on controlling wanted pregnancies. They did fucked up shit like forced abortions even up to 9 months & killed infants once born by drowning them while their mothers watched.

Some women abandoned their infant girls and the orphanages became heavily overburdened with them. I remember seeing documentaries on it, and one scene in particular really stood out to me. It was towards the end of a documentary, where they discovered that newborn infants were being placed in closets with thin blankets over their face so they wouldnt cry..

Move over to Romania. They did the opposite. They did what the US is trying to do, but to an even higher extreme. Birth control and abortion was outlawed. Their leader ordered women to have at least 5 children. Their economy sank, food shortages occurred, and children were dumped in orphanages. The orphanages became difficult to manage and thousands of children suffered growing up in an institutional setting with no families to provide them with care that would help them to thrive, just exist.

Meet Izidor Ruckel. He was one of those Romanian children who was rescued and adopted by an American couple. He later became an advocate for the children left in Romania and continues to work on efforts to improve the lives of orphans living in orphanages.

Here is his website, linking to the history of Romanian orphans: https://izidorruckel.com/romania/

Here is the documentary from 1990: https://izidorruckel.com/meet-izidor/take-me-to-america/

I cant recall if it was the Chinese orphanages or the Romanian ones, but one of them had children literally locked into potty chairs from the time they woke up to the time they went to sleep. No human contact because there wasnt the resources to provide adequate care.

prolife says abortions are inhumane.

I say forced birth is inhumane.

We may disagree on the morality of abortion, but one thing I think we can agree on is that these children lives mattered and they did not deserve to be treated so inhumanely, worse than dogs, worse than farm animals.
prolife likes to call us murderers. As if we have no morals and care nothing for the sanctity of human life. I care very deeply for the sanctity of human life. Which is why I support abortion. Not just for the rights of women to not have their bodies used against their will, but for the well being of the children once they are born, the well being of our country as a whole.

"In 2015, 638,169 legal induced abortions were reported to CDC" https://www.cdc.gov/reproductivehealth/data_stats/abortion.htm

Our foster care system is barely able to handle the children it has in it right now. Throwing 638,169 more kids into it every. single. year. will be a detrimental mistake. Not just for the the yet to be born, but for the already born.

I know it leaves a sour taste in a lot of peoples mouths, but the truth of it is that abortion is one of the tools in our arsenal that will allow for all of us, including these children, to have a higher quality of living. I do not believe in life for lifes sake. Life isnt about quantity, its about quality.

I have two questions. Feel free to respond to both or just one if you like.

1. How do you justify quantity over quality?

2. If we ban abortion, what do you think it will do to your country's infrastructure?

Fetal Awareness

  Fetal Pain This topic is being included in our wiki because it is one of the bigger considerations for those on the fence about where they stand on the issue. The ability for a fetus to feel pain is inconclusive at this point in time. One thing, however, is clear - a pregnant person will also feel pain at the time of onset of labor and delivery. Drugs can only be used so much, and they can wear off prior to or during delivery. She will also experience pain after birth, while she heals and especially if she has a c-section. She will be unable to take narcotic pain meds if she plans on breastfeeding as it can be passed through breastmilk. And breastfeeding itself, can be painful, especially in the beginning. And that is nothing to say of the pains felt throughout pregnancy, including the emotional impact it has on a person who is unable to access abortion and is compelled to continue an unwanted pregnancy. Likewise, the pain of having to give up the child, who by the time of delive...

''Why Mothers Don’t Have The Right To Refuse Babies The Use Of Their Wombs'' & a rebuttal as to why they actually do

My rebuttal is to this Federalist article: ''Why Mothers Don’t Have The Right To Refuse Babies The Use Of Their Wombs'' This prolife article argues that prenatal humans have to belong somewhere. If not the womb, then where? ''For most pro-choice advocates, the right to abortion hinges on affirming that a pregnant woman has the right to refuse her child residence in her body. But then the question may be asked, if a prenatal human being does not belong in her mother’s womb, where does she belong? The answer? Nowhere.'' You can ask that if you wish. My answer would be that it is irrelevant to the very first statement. ''It is implausible to claim a child does not belong in the place she began to exist and the only place she can survive: in the nurture and care her mother’s body naturally provides. This has been the case for virtually all of humanity since our history began. The mother’s womb is the rightful place of a child in t...

Parthood view of pregnancy makes more sense than the containment view

  This will be a summary of a journal called Were you a part of your mother? that discusses two different views on the relationship between a pregnant person and a fetus. This journal entry refers to the pregnant person as the gravida and the fetus as the foster, so I will be referring to them with those terms as well. One view is the containment view and the other is the parthood view. The containment view seems to be a fairly commonly held view, one that I have seen both sides of the argument hold, so I will be focusing on the parthood view. I believe that the parthood view has a stronger logical standing. I will be summarizing it below by following the four criteria presented for what makes something a whole organism and what is a part of that whole organism. Following that will be the objections and how they can be addressed. I will not address every piece of criteria presented, but will do my best to condense down key points of this 55 minute read. Here is a mini table of co...
