Some women will die horrible, painful, unnecessary deaths, and their fetuses will die with them, as some women will resort to using unregulated abortion clinics or home "remedies."
Rape and incest victims will suffer life-long psychological damage from bearing their tormentor's children.
Poverty rates will go up as poor families will be forced to have unwanted children.
Women with ectopic pregnancies, infections or other complications will be forced to attempt to carry to term babies that mat permanently damage or kill them.
Some women will be forced to bear and raise horribly malformed and damaged children, such as children without brains, without limbs, Down's Syndrome, etc.).
Some unwanted children will grow up with uncaring parents.
But other than that it should be a warm, fuzzy, happy picture.
Well, thanks for posting my response on this site. Looks like an average rating of 3 for this lil quote, which means it's not quite a fundy statement.
BTW, for the guys who would like to smack me upside my head, I may be a Christian, but the Marine part of me comes first when I defend myself.
Children will also be born with the potential to have a negative impact on the world.
(Children born to parents who don't want them, or can't take care f them, have a pretty high risk of having a negative impact.)
Children will be born with serious, possibly life-threatening, deformities and diseases.
Women with ectopic pregnancies will die.
Women with preeclampsia will die.
Women who have deformations of their pelvis and/or genitals will die.
Women who have almost died in their earlier pregnancies will die.
Every three minutes, a woman dies due to pregnancy and delivery. A lot of these women die in countries that don't have basic human rights for women, where abortions are either too expensive, prohibited or unsafe (often all of these at the same time), where childbirths are performed at home with little or no medical assistance.
Sorry Kal El, but a Kryptonian* has no say in Humanity's intimate affairs. Go back to catching petty crooks and bank robbers - that's something your superpowers are useful for.
*Kal El is Superman's birth name.
Or the next Pat Robertson, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck or Dick Cheney or any other mass killers. You've been on this planet long enough to realize theres very rarely a cloud with that silver lining.
But from the above names you have to recognize absolutely destuctive shit is born and raised on this planet and (we think) wanted, imagine what kinda garbage you can get from unwanted parenting.
Confused?
