The problem with the Black community is the women aren’t aborting their first babies…and they aren’t marrying the baby daddy. It’s pretty obviously the worst of both worlds which is actually the best argument to outlaw abortion because it isn’t being used like it is in the white middle class community which uses it to delay pregnancy and make one a better marriage match.
Why would it be okay to abort your first child but not your third? In what universe of reasoning could that possibly make sense? Props for managing to come up with some of the weirdest abortion non-logic I've yet seen.
I don't think that aborting the first pregnancy can be seen as a good way of delaying motherhood. Women do have access to contraception.
The idea that a woman should abort her first pregnancy - or any other pregnancy she has not planned - also strikes me as deeply inhuman. One of my cousins was an unplanned child, the first child of his mother. He is now a brilliant writer and translator with a PhD. I am very happy that my grandparents were firmly against abortion and did not pressure my aunt to abort her pregnancy.
And even if one sees abortion as an acceptable way of delaying motherhood, aborting the first pregnancy would not be enough for plenty of women - lots of women now go through many relationships and sexual encounters before "settling down" (if they "settle down"). We live in the times of Tinder, many women are having sex with men they had just met, men who often see them only as sex objects.
A rape baby could turn out to be brilliant…all of the babies we slaughtered in Iraq and Afghanistan could have turned out to be brilliant. Women should do what is best with the caveat that younger eggs will produce healthier babies generally speaking. Older mothers that plan everything and have a partner are on average better parents than younger mothers that don’t plan things.
