There so much weird stuff in that post that I simply can't wrap my mind around, and I'm not even anti-abortion.
Like: "people are going to die". I'm assuming that would be women, but how exactly are women dying by not getting abortions?! I'm trying my very best, but I don't see a scenario where this would be the direct result. Let's say there's a woman who's extremely poor, and because of the pregnancy she can't handle the economic burden and ends up homeless. But even then, homeless women don't have it nearly as bad as homeless men, and you can't tell me there's no one that wouldn't take pity on her and help her out in a homeless shelter or something. Yeah, it can get pretty dark (and it's one of the reasons I don't favor blanket abortion bans) but there's no reasonable chance a woman will simply die.

Or: "children are gonna be abandoned, abused, neglected". I'm sorry, but in no way can you convince that any of those are absolutely, positively, 100%, all the time worse than not being allowed to be born at all. The only one of those that is really bad is the abused part, but even then, if later in life that person has some good counseling and help, they can be a perfectly normal person and a contributing member of society. As for "abandoned"? Big deal. Adoption exists for a reason. Plenty of perfectly happy adopted children out there. Neglected? So is everyone else in modern society, go cry me a river.
As for the final one "children are gonna be [...] killed". I'm sorry, what?! You want to prevent children being killed by killing children? Ok fetuses, but if you're throwing out something that absurd, I might as well point the absurd obvious.

A massive cope of the shitlib is that women will die without abortions because of complications from pregnancy so we must allow all women to abort babies for any reason what-so-ever because that logic definitely follows. Actual complications from pregnancy and certainly life threatening ones are very rare. If they weren't, humans would have been extinct long ago.

>Let's say there's a woman who's extremely poor, and because of the pregnancy...

Muh poverty is yet another cope and there are a hundred programs that poor expectant mothers can get on including Medicaid, food stamps, cash assistance, housing assistance, etc. And then when the child is born there is WIC and assuming the woman isn't with the guy that knocked her up, child support. That is not to mention various charities like food banks.

>children are gonna be [...] killed

If I kill the baby now, I won't drown it in the bath tub later.

Literally all of these are copes and/or pitiful attempts at escaping any level of responsibility for their actions. This is why women shouldn't be considered to be people, but instead considered to be property. If they don't want to accept responsibility for their actions than they are no different than a thing.
@alyx @Mykse An extremely poor women with a child is given every bit of welfare and help with anything they need as long as they ask for it that is humanly possible. The only way you'd end up homeless in that situation is if your an extremely mentally ill drug addict and too stupid to ask for help and even then you'd have people and government agencies trying to help you.
