While I understand and respect your concerns about the potential hardships faced by parents, particularly in circumstances such as teenage pregnancies, homelessness, or addiction, I'd like to invite you to consider a different perspective.
In situations where a parent might struggle to provide for a child, wouldn't it be a more compassionate solution to provide support and resources rather than ending a potential life? For instance, strengthening social services and providing resources for adoption could be alternatives that respect the sanctity of life while also addressing the challenges faced by potential parents.
Childbirth does indeed carry risks, but with advancements in modern medicine, the rates of maternal mortality have significantly decreased. Rather than viewing pregnancy as a risk to a woman's life, we could focus on improving healthcare facilities and prenatal care to ensure safe pregnancies and childbirth.
Regarding the argument of prioritizing an existing life over a potential one, this is a deeply philosophical issue that hinges on when one believes life begins. For those who believe life begins at conception, the unborn child's life is as valuable as the mother's.
In the tragic circumstance of rape, I empathize deeply with the victim. However, I believe that the violence of the act should not be extended to the innocent unborn child. Instead, we should focus on strengthening laws and support systems to prevent such crimes and support the victims.
I would love to hear your thoughts on how society could better support potential parents facing difficult circumstances, rather than resorting to abortion.
