They would say have the baby anyways even though complications meant doing so would likely mean her own death. If Ryan had his way, it'd be "fuck your life but don't harm that unborn fetus!" Yep, that's a "pro-life" stance.

The Republican party especially despises footing any part of the bill for any abortions. But what about footing about a million bills once that unplanned child is born? Because in many cases, that's what's going to happen. They care before it's born, but once that child is born, fuck it - no entitlements. Let the kid starve for all they care...it's no longer an unborn fetus so they don't give a shit.

That's the thing - allowing abortion has meant tons of children that would have otherwise been born, probably under extremely shitty circumstances, aren't. It's that much less burden on the people that would have had them and ultimately on society. That much less kids living fucked up lives because their parents didn't want them, hadn't planned for them and likely would be having trouble taking care of them and...*gasp* need government assistance to do so.
