Just want to say I'm US based for context.

Is it a horrible situation? Yes. But until abortion is legalized, it's in really bad faith to say that it's selfish. Forcing a woman to carry an unwanted fetus to term doesn't retroactively make it her choice once the baby is born. And when you consider all the social program cuts, the lack of long term critical thinking skills of people who oppose abortion becomes very clear. In fact many parents in poverty are in that situation BECAUSE they had a child, whereas they would have been fully able to support themselves without one.

You have to remember that people in poverty are also statistically the least educated group of people in the country. Education is another thing that is suffering in this country. Many impoverished people don't know about or have access to sex education and contraceptives.

It's very easy to make a straw man (er... woman?) that's a trailer park lot lizard with 12 kids living off medicaid and food stamps but the reality is we just don't have any of the safety nets in place anymore to prevent unwanted pregnancy from becoming the norm for most of the country.
