@joeysoley Sadly they don't believe in single parents "well you should've thought of that before you had sex" or "no sex before marriage"
@aiden92 Funny thing is Alito makes reference to “single” mothers in his diatribe by insinuating they’re the only ones getting abortions.
“Americans who believe that abortion should be restricted press countervailing arguments about modern developments. They note that attitudes about the pregnancy of unmarried women have changed drastically; that federal and state laws ban discrimination on the basis of pregnancy, & that leave for pregnancy and childbirth are now guaranteed by law in many cases, that the costs of medical care associated with pregnancy are covered by insurance or government assistance; that States have increasingly adopted "safe haven" laws, which generally allow women to drop off babies anonymously; and that a woman who puts her newborn up for adoption today has little reason to fear that the baby will not find a suitable home. They also claim that many people now have a new appreciation of fetal life and that when prospective parents who want to have a child view a sonogram, they typically have no doubt that what they see is their daughter or son.”

@joeysoley Imagine you had other kids already to support? I'm a physician and I had a patient who had two special needs children at home, she had bipolar disorder, diabetes, preeclampsia at her last pregnancy and had to be on bed rest for the last month or two and she found out she was pregnant again, birth control failed, and she had recently gotten her special needs children back from DCF custody, recently become stable on her medications for bipolar disorder, medications which causes severe birth defects. She chose abortion because otherwise she'd have to put her life at risk to go through a pregnancy with her diabetes and blood pressure,, make a choice to come off the bipolar medications or risk the severe birth defects, and risk orphaning her special needs kids she already has. These are deeply heartbreaking and personal decisions and no one's business besides a woman and her doctor.

@joeysoley And actual sex education!
@ryandog Not mentioning that the lives of pregnant people are obviously not considered at all. I had an ectopic earlier this year and would be dead under those laws without even a viable fetus present to be saved. I wanted this baby so bad but it never had a chance to become a human being. On the other hand I would not have had this pregnancy at all because my husband's mother would have died of ectopic before having him too and probably my own mother also because a baby died in her womb before having me. In my workplace alone I know three women who had complications in their planned pregnancies that would have killed them (and the baby) by not being able to terminate the pregnancy. It's just scary. So many lifes that would have ended due to strict abortion laws. In many cases those women (including me) would have left behind kids and kids that followed after those incidents would never have born... How the hell can anyone think there's something pro-life about those laws.
