Abortions, Vasectomies Increase as Economic Woes Continue
Doctors and clinics are reporting that many women are choosing abortions and men are having vasectomies because they cannot afford a child.
Planned Parenthood of Illinois clinics performed an all-time high number of abortions in January, many of them motivated by the women’s economic worries, said CEO Steve Trombley, who declined to give exact numbers.
Planned Parenthood apparently is feeling no pain.
While I certainly think finances ought to be weighed when making choices for your family, it’s never reason to eliminate a child-a person-who is already here. I can understand of course, how those who believe in abortion feel panicked. Being pro-life doesn’t immunize a person from the worries of daily responsibilites. But I think as a society, we have come so far away from what are necessities, and what are desires, many Americans do not understand the difference. Contraception and abortion has allowed for us to put children in the category of new cell phones.
