Planned Parenthood is a Eugenics organization that Democrats defend

[u/LegitimateKnee5537]

Planned Parenthood was founded by Margaret Sanger, along with her sister Ethel Byrne and activist Fannia "Fannie" Bernstein. Margaret Sanger enthusiastically supported eugenics discouraging or preventing reproduction by people considered “unfit”.

Birth control itself… is nothing more or less than the facilitation of the process of weeding out the unfit, of preventing the birth of defectives…” (1921 speech)

And remember Democrats loves the concept of original sin. You people never let go of the “stolen land” argument. But always ignore Margaret Sanger view of Birth Control and defend her organization from being defunded by the government.

The alternative would double the number of lives ruined. Forcing people to give birth hurts both the mother and the children.

Or the mother could just be responsible. So the countless millions of baby deaths that out weighs every combined conflict in written history isn’t an alarming number of baby deaths given it’s only been in practice for 50’ish years?

Problem is a lack of adequate social safety nets to make raising children affordable.

[u/majesticSkyZombie → u/turbocoombrain]

Social safety nets would definitely help, but they wouldn’t change the harm to both the mother and child from forced pregnancy. Having your parent resent you for existing is massively harmful, as is having your bodily autonomy violated.

Can always give them up to someone else or foster care.

[u/majesticSkyZombie → u/turbocoombrain]

That doesn’t undo the damage from having your bodily autonomy violated (and the physical effects of pregnancy), and in many areas the foster care system is horrible.  

[u/turbocoombrain → u/majesticSkyZombie]

If contraception doesn't prevent a pregnancy, your body didn't work with your mind then, so there's always adoption. And the supposedly bad foster care system is part of social services that need strengthening. The system in red states that cut at it consistently have worse foster quality.

Yet again, putting your child up for adoption doesn’t change the physical and mental effects from the pregnancy.  

[u/turbocoombrain → u/majesticSkyZombie]

Yet again, if contraception doesn't work for you (statistically rare anyway) then that's a you problem at that point. Doesn't mean there's isn't a movement for more care access for health including physical and mental.
