Quotes Mother Teresa and wants to make Abortions illegal, but don't wish to provide any support or plan to help women who find themselves pregnant with no help, then my STFU was directed at you
However,
If you don't feel that way then
My STFU was not Directed at you.
but last I checked on DU I can have my opinion and you are free to have yours.
Peace and love

And to your point about being Grown up. I don't believe making Abortions Illegal is a grown approach to the issue
a grown up approach would be to keep Abortion
but provide the proper support in our commuity and Government that would help women not feel so burdened down by having another mouth to feed
for example Affordable Quality daycare so women can afford to go back to work.
Affordable prenatal and postnatal care
Better Adoption Process
Community Support, no shunning no name calling
Better laws to make if harder for baby daddies to hit the witness protection program
Better Child support collection process.
and of course better access to birth control, and Safe sex education for teens boys and girls
but still allow women the dignity of a safe abortion if that's what she decides

There was I grown up enough for you? Honestly all that typing hurt my fingers, typing STFU is just easier
