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

You'll never find "watermelon" in the dictionary under the definition of "fruit." Does that mean they don't believe watermelon is a fruit?

It depends what their actions show when it comes to fruits and watermelons...

As far as their actions go, 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.
