    In my country:

    • the payment for all the exams done during the pregnancy cost €0
    • The delivery itself costs €0
    • if the woman was working, will continue to get full salary until the baby is 5 months old (can opt for longer but then the salary is reduced)
    • The government will pay to the parent a monthly check of some hundreds euro (according to the income)
    • Preschool is free (although need to pay canteen fees)

    I’m guessing the poster is from that country where if you aren’t insured you’re going to pay 20k for the delivery and then you’re going to financially struggle until the end, right?

    In that country people is choosing abortion not because having a baby is unaffordable, but only because they’re evil monsters

        No, it’s to point out that this “anti abortion” policy is all about punishing those whores that had sex outside wedding, as if it’s something you do alone and not with a man.

        If they really care about minimizing the abortion rate, they should enact policies that help the woman after birth, and not give decades of financial struggles as “punishment for having fun that night”

        Personally, I am pro-“let the people do what the fuck they want with their bodies”

          Can you clarify the last point of your original comment? I don’t quite get what was supposed to be said there despite the clarification. :x

            My body is my body and a legislator has no right to say if I can’t remove an unwanted object from it

        It’s anti-abortion. “Pregnancy is free and kids can make you money, so anyone who has an abortion is obviously an evil monster.”

        What a weak fucking argument. As if it’s always an economic decision.

          I questioned my reading comprehension because when I made the comment it had 5 upvotes and 1 downvote. But now that I know for sure it’s a really messed up thing to say. WTF…

          Absolutely misunderstood, it’s just to point that with the current policies, even 25 years olds in a relationship will feel pregnancy as a huge economic problem and choose abortion over bankruptcy

          And for victims of rape, underage, when there’s a congenital problem that has been discovered in the early exams, the abortion should be even encouraged by the doctors
