Here's How Liberals are Taught to be Pro-Choice If we understand both sides of the argument we can unify and solve it. Liberals are highly moral it's just they have been taught to understand issues differently.  They r not pro-choice because they like the killing of babies but because it's a fact that women who can limit the number of children they have are safer from violence & their families & communities are less likely to be crushed by poverty. And when the women says they will put themselves last and the baby first the liberal says, that may be fine for you but what if every woman in the country did this?  The poor in this country deserve a chance to move out of poverty but cant if every unprepared for pregnancy bears a child.  Then consider the impact on women in 3rd world countries.  Then think about the women who is pregnant due to abuse/rape.  They add and think about the quality of life the unplanned for child will have.  Immature and financially unstable parents will mean a higher chance of all the issues children born in poverty are more likely to experience: abuse, deprivation, hunger, lack of access to good health care  So the question for them is what do you value more, the potential for life to exist or the life already on the planet?  What do  you put first the good of many, (the viability financially of the family/country), or the good of the potential for one more life.  I am not championing abortion here. Just showing you how liberals are taught. The argument is outdated today,  because unlike when pro-choice became a movement, families are eager to adopt unwanted babies.  And the stigma of being an unwed mother no longer causes a woman to be unable to marry.  Marriage is the the gateway to a financially strong economy personally and for the country.  2 can pull the cart better than 1 The liberal would say just because unwanted babies are adoptable today doesn't mean they always will be, so we have to keep it legal. And of course, they will trot out the research that says how deeply wounded children who are adopted are because they were rejected by their birth parents and given up. And indeed that research does exist and as a therapist I have seen first hand that this wound is almost always there for the adopted person.  But Liberals never mention how difficult women find living with an abortion.  How they are more likely to die within 5 years of an abortion than women who either don't get pregnant or those who have lives births.
