I just wanted to say thank you to those that are pro-life but still don't think the government should step in and demand all of us be pro-life. Thank you as you make me feel that it is my body and my choice and hopefully this will always be protected.
While I am reading everyone' s posts this AM I keep seeing people mentioning the adults, but i can't help to bring up that if people are in these situations the baby who is born is also in the situation. When making this decision I am sure most women do not take it lightly, I can't help but think they are not only think about their situation but also the kind of life they would or could provide for a child. It is not just a few years of freedom you give up-it is a lifetime of commitment. The commitment becomes less when the child becomes an adult but I have seen what a huge commitment children require and if you are not financially sound or do not have a significant other than that commitment becomes very difficult. I was listening to the radio on my way home from work today and there was a mother on the radio-she just had her third child, just got divorced this year, has no job, no support from her husband and now her kids are going to have nothing for christmas-no christrmas dinner, no toys, no clothes, nothing-that breaks my heart. I would rather someone have an abortion than put a child through a lifetime of hunger or hurt. I wish everyone was responsible like the people on this thread but many are not-that is reality.
BTW does anyone have any statistics on adoption, my understanding from various news reports is that there is a waiting list for caucasian babies but there are not enough homes for minority babies and unfortunately many of these end up in foster care or an orphanage-is this correct?
