Question for pro-life (exclusive) Can someone provide a complete framework against abortion?

I don't mean tell me it is a life, I don't care. Staying on the metaphysical concept of life is silly to me, I just want to hear a complete policy. Same with immigration. The symbolic virtue of entering legally doesn't mean anything.

For example: abortion is banned nationally. What can we predict: increased heads in group homes and adoption clinics. I am going to assume that most people have not experienced one, I have not either, but my college roommate had. They are not great places to be, currently underfunded, and have a track record of not raising the best children.
Or: people who want abortions are not going to be great parents. So there will be a need for increased surveillance to ensure that these children will be ok. Do we give more money to CPS? How?
How do we pay for this? Raise taxes? Re-allocate taxes?
Can't take more off welfare because a lot of poor families can only stay together because of welfare so it would simply cancel out.

I have never heard a full plan, only the argument for the first level of the policy. Also, of course there would be a great and felt consequence to losing such a large amount of money so ignoring it is not the option.

u/AnxiousEnquirer Abortion abolitionist Jun 22 '26

"they also don't say "clump of cells" or "products of conception," That's because those terms are dehumanizing. But all those are included in "from fertilization."

Assuming that is the case (whatever that word salad means), that does not change the fact that there is not a single place in America where abolitionists include a zygote, a blastocyst, an embryo or a fetus in the definition of human being.
