pretty sure the right's motivation is to protect the babies from evil leftists who would use them in soul suppers if allowed to run free. it just like the reason leftists are for big government subsidy of poor people is because rightists would kill them with rocks and feed them to their pets if allowed to run free.
None of it makes sense because it isn't rational. Normal visceral response to killing babies is one of horror. We are human though and therefore capable of reasoning at a higher level, no matter how cold it may be up there. Killing babies benefits society though by throttling the spread of failure.
Modern society has allowed failure to thrive among humanity like no time in recorded history and the rest of the planet and every other species is paying the price for it. We are like locusts. There are too many of us and doing what we can to stay the influx of more of the least capable of us is a good place to start.
The maddening thing is how framing an issue affects its reception with the general public. So many people are divided about this one form of active intervention, but are all almost universally against other active interventions and even passive ones like abstaining from charity.
How does one frame an argument for abstinence from charity that it resonates with the right feelings of the average person who refuses to think? The only argument I have been able to construct is that it is unfair to everyone else because you are denying your affections to those who have done most. You are betraying your children and those you love and those who love you all so that you can feel better about doing what's "right".
Personally, I don't see anything wrong with it if it makes you happy, but for most people doing it, they doing it out of the idea that it is selfless and therefore virtuous. It isn't, it a disservice to everyone else :c
