We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

I hear your argument, but I also wonder what percentage of people think back and say, "My childhood wasn't ideal, I wish I had never been born at all."
A lot. Childhood trauma, more often than not, never goes away.
TBF yeah we don't hear those people complain because they just kill themselves. But even then, they should be given that choice rather than being murdered before birth.
I think that's a poor argument for pretty much the exact same reason. Self preservation is very strong among all living creatures. It doesn't take quality of life or society into consideration.
If we lived in a utopia, it'd be a better argument. We don't. And forcing those who don't have the financial capacity to take care of someone, to take care of someone, is just going to force them to make terrible decisions in order to survive. You know, because of self preservation. And that's only one potential deficit someone could have. Maybe they don't have the emotional capacity. Maybe they have genetics they don't want to pass along. Maybe the kid will be disabled. Maybe, whatever million other reasons someone could think of.
Why force someone into a life of hardship from the get go?
