I am not a big political guy, and abortion has never been an issue that I care much about, but I do have a couple questions for some of you "righties" that seem to dominate this forum.

1) Why is it a good idea to force people to bring a child into the world that they don't want? How does that benefit anyone?

and 2) For all you righty conservatives, how does forcing a bunch of little black and latino babies that otherwise wouldn't have been born help you? A short 18 years and these black and brown babies will be voting and they don't tend to vote the way you would like.

Just seems like a very strange "victory" the right is celebrating today.
First of all it’s not like the ruling makes abortion illegal, it simply makes it a state government decision. Letting states govern themselves is more or less what America was structured as. Rape aside if you’re in a state where abortion is difficult, it’s really as simple as giving people a little accountability for their actions. The pill is heavily subsidized and pretty much free, condoms are cheap.

If you’re dumb enough to get pregnant on accident there’s nothing wrong with accountability for stupidity. The lack of accountability for stupid decisions and bailout culture is a large part of why we’re such a shut show country now, it’s partly why they printed so much money for tarded individuals and businesses that don’t understand the concept of reserves/emergency funds.
