Being a father isn’t the reason. Not sure how you arrived there. 10 years of life experience between my post and now has shaped my views.
Yea, the ultrasound visits absolutely created an increased concern for unborn babies (you see heartbeats, legs, arms, head). Our process was during the pandemic, so we had a virtual gender reveal, had a name, etc. I would have been devastated if an abortion decision was made after that absent some medical reason/concern. If that’s different for you, we can just agree to disagree.
Also, I’m deeply concerned about tons of issues that impact children. The polarizing thing tends to be how we solve those problems.
No reasonable person thinks the Uvalde shooting was okay. No reasonable person wants children to grow up in poverty or lack education and other resources. The issue is how do we solve those problems. Just because people have a different opinion on the solution, doesn’t mean they don’t care.
I see the humanity in most of the posters who post in this thread. And if I don’t, I try to see it.
