I get it.

It's sad, because like with so many aspects - be it government, legal, cultural, racial, sex-based, etc. - the issue often comes down to culture.

Even though my distaste for abortion has done nothing but grow over the years, my ideal society would probably still have it as a fall back, with severe limitations. I want people to have that fallback...I also want it to viewed as a last resort, with severe moral implications.

Same goes for single parents and the like. I don't think you should kill babies. I also don't think we should have a society where there are tons of single parents doing shit jobs raising their kids. And I'd love to be able to trust the government, etc.

Our foundations have rotted severely, it's hard to propose solutions because both our government and society are decayed. So any solution will be built on unstable grounds.

People need to sort themselves out, and the surrounding culture. But that doesn't seem to be happening. So who can we trust to dictate that to the people? Because that system is also corrupt...

That's not an unpopular view. I'd think most pro-lifers would be very much also pro-marriage and pro-nuclear family structure. Single parenthood is generally considered bad (or at least unfortunate) by all but the most leftist of cultists.

"I was financially able to support a child. I have no doubt that my family would have been present for me. The man I was involved with at the time would have provided support. His family would have been there for us too," she explained. "However, I didn’t see a long-term future with him. And given that my mother and father never married — and I knew their tumultuous history very well — I didn’t want to bring a child into an unstable relationship."
