so i just read about a girl who got pregnant at nineteen and the guy walked away, abandoning her and the child and the question was about filing for child support this is one of the responses to it:

Text:
she should abort the child and spare him of the miserable life that statistically speaking the child will suffer. the mothers life will also be miserable along with the poor sap that didnt use protection.
all around, a bunch of idiots.
its not a wonder the first thought from her is 'how much money can i get for this child'. its like winning the lottery


Me: well, how would you have felt if your mother aborted you? how are you in any position to tell anyone what the best choice for them is, especially when the question wasn't even about whether to keep the baby or not. how would you know how hard it would be to raise a child without child support from the father and even with child support i'm sure it's not like "winning the lottery", not even close! a woman who becomes pregnant and is a single mother knows that it will be challenging, but babies are also such a blessing and well worth it. anyone who makes comments such as these obviously are either scorned ex's paying child support or people who are heartless. i see these kind of responses from unemotional ignorant people all the time.
