So, we try to voice our opinions, get laws passed, etc., etc. to help those without voices. That is sometimes all pro-lifers can do, ya know?
and just b/c a child is not adopted does not mean it is unwanted...there is probably an obscene amount of people who would LOVE to have that child in their home, but cannot afford to do so. but b/c the child is a financial strain does not mean the life should be terminated.

Hmmm.... so people don't adopt because it's too much of a financial strain... they CHOOSE not to raise children. How is that different from the biological parents? Either way, someone's NOT CARING for a child.
And I'm sure that if you told all those lonely children in orphanages and foster care that someone would really like to adopt them, but it just costs too much, they'd feel MUCH better.
After all, it's the thought that counts, right?
