ONTD

Hey, Kirk Cameron?

okay, i can understand the desire not to kill, and it's good that he doesn't want fetuses to die, but the 100% no abortion view is simply not compatible with reality. Not all women have the money/status/resources that people in kirk cameron's position have to keep an unexpected baby. if you're in poverty, and you can barely support yourself, how can you keep a baby and expect to not ruin your life? women don't make a decision to get an abortion lightly. if someone is driven to desperation because of the circumstances in their life, they're going to get an abortion no matter what, including dangerous back-alley abortions that will kill them.

although tbh, i can't stand this guy, i too also don't believe in abortion either, but unlike him, i'm not against it. i don't like it, but i'm not against it.

i think if an idiotic woman had sex and decided not to use any protection or BC methods and gets pregnant - that's an awful reason for abortion.

but at the same time, i think incest and rape are suitable reasons for an abortion. but any other, is just..no. but again, i'm pro-choice so fine.

seriously like wtf

"why does the woman have to be idiotic? isn't the man just as idiotic for not using protection?"

Seriously. For some reason it's always the women who are "idiots" in these scenarios. Why are men absolved of responsibility?

this fuckwit

I saw an abortion truck or van a few weeks ago, i was APPALLED. Covered in random quote from the bible that to me, didn't seem to fit their cause, as well as pictures of abortions and even a few baby dolls covered in red paint hanging from it.

If you don't like abortion, don't have one.

Okay, so if his daughter was raped and became pregnant, then he thinks she needs to have the child. He's allowed to have that opinion.

But if his daughter doesnt want it, then she has to? That's fucked up.

He's allowed to have his opinion, but people should be offered the choice.

I agree. It's just sad when people lack compassion.

It's totally fine if you wouldnt get an abortion, or if you think they're wrong. But if you can't respect another persons decision about their own life and body, then that's really sad IMO.

I cant imagine seeing a woman raise a child ONLY because she legally had to. If you don't want a child or can't handle a child, then you should make that decision yourself.

And the "just give it up for adoption" argument is silly. For one, the person might not be able to carry the baby ie if they were traumatized by rape. I used to volunteer with orphans and it was incredibly sad. Just because you're given up for adoption doesnt mean you go to a family and have a nice life. Thousands and thousands of kids are either never adopted or go to really terrible families who just wanted money from the government.

Sorr for the long rant, but this topic obviously hits a nerve.

why do people keep giving him a platform

he needs to just stop talking. he's too pretty to be saying such dumb shit.

I must have missed the reason this shithead is still somehow "relevant" enough for people to ask his opinions on abortion on CNN. Can he just go away like every other nutter has-been? Please. Just go.

omg what.
seriously?

god I feel like this will only further him getting interviews.

K, if a woman or girl is raped and sadly ends up pregnant then they have every fucking right in the world to get an abortion. As does any other woman who feels like this is the best decision for them. End of fucking story!!

Go fuck yourself Kirk

When children born of rape get to that age when they start asking "where do babies come from?" and "who's my daddy?", Kirk Cameron should be the one forced to tell the kid they were a rape baby.

STFU Kirk.

Yeah, that was so dumb. Ugh. And people say racism is over :|

Unsurprising but still infuriating. Especially since he has daughters. I mean, hell, my dad's pretty conservative but I think even he would be understanding and supportive if I ever needed/wanted an abortion. Especially if I was fucking raped.

brb thanking the Lord Almighty for not giving me Kirk Cameron as a father.

Just dig your grave deeper, make even more people hate you. You need to STFU dude.

I don't want him to be gay because I am gay and do not want THAT associated with me at all. It is bad enough I am a human being and he somewhat resembles one.
