Yes, just as surely nor is there unlimited capacity. Where the limit is set is always going to be somewhat ambiguous
Also, I know that my analogy can be flipped as a pro-choice argument since abortions are partly due to the perception that adoption centers have limited resources as well
That’s fair. But pro-lifers see a direction connection with a death from abortion far moreso than the indirect connection of a death from a slight cut to a social safety net. For one, these are adults who may not have been born into the easiest life but have had basic rights and opportunities that all Americans get, and may not have made the best choices. Ultimately, we can only do so much to protect people from the results of their choices as adults. Also, while cuts could result in deaths, what also happens is other services begin to take on that need. For example, in every major city there are food banks which give away food donated from grocery stores that is approaching its sticker date. If cuts are made to something such as food stamps, food banks bear the burden of extra demand. It’s not always a “well cuts were made to food stamps so now people are going to starve and die” scenario
