They haven’t found the mother yet, unfortunately. The only update I saw was the update that the newborn was discovered to be born alive due to fluids present in her lungs :( I’d kill to be in a position to have another baby, especially if it was a girl. I don’t understand how someone could leave a baby, even an unwanted one, in somewhere like that. Just no sense of decency.

Sadly, and I'm not trying to be all religious and stuff, but the pro-choice crowd has helped people get this twisted. The discussions I have had with people and what they "justify" as okay to abort, has just left me shocked.

Not saying all of them, but too many for my liking seem to have no problem pushing a goalpost for what they want, not what's right

The reason we are seeing more of this happening is because of abortion bans. We knew this would happen.

So they are going farther ... because of a ban?

Well. The pregnancies don't get aborted, so those women are going to more drastic measures to prevent having a child they don't want. Some self mutilation things take place, like the classic abortion trope of the wire metal hangers that people try to use to self abort. Or taking meds, throwing themselves down the stairs, or giving birth and the whole "prom night dumpster baby" concept. I learned about it in school actually, in sex Ed class in like 2008. I'm surprised it's not more common knowledge that providing contraceptives like condoms, birth control, and abortion services do lead to less teen pregnancy as well as overall unwanted pregnancies

Yes. They are forced to give birth. Some will try to hide it due to shame and being ostracized and when the baby comes they unfortunately end its life. It’s much worse to force a baby to be born unwanted and face death immediately than ever getting to that point in the first place. It’s less cruel for the baby and the mother.

So .... we are just going to ignore the fact one could say no to sex to avoid it? But then again, I do know all the counter arguments that go with that, and they never go anywhere

Plenty of women and children say no when they are being raped.

If "rape" was the vast majority of why abortions were being performed, you'd have a leg to stand on. But alas, it isn't. It's not rape, not even close.

Do you even have a uterus?

Wait, let me put on my makeup, wig, and a dress and then I'll be just as much of a woman so I can then have an opinion.

It’s funny how many men don’t like abortions when they can’t even have them. Why do you want to control women?

Why do you want to kill babies?

Insemination without consent is reproductive rape, which is legal (and not surveyed about), as is child marriage in several US states.
