aaaah! you ppl are absolutely killing me!!!!!! please, for one moment, try to take what i am saying as what i am saying, and nothing else. i am so tired of you all reading what i am so desperatley TRYING to say and making me out to be some stupid lil' right wing air head that doesn't have a clue what is going on! my ideals are just as important as yours...i have in NO way implied that any of the pro-choicers on here are IGNORANT or STUPID. i respect your views and realize that you have thought long and hard to obtain your opinion. in the same breath, i just happen to disagree, but that doesn't mean that i am any less valid in MY thoughts.
life is not expendable...no one has the right to choose when it is ok to take an innocent life simply b/c it is never ok. ok? this adoption thing is out of control...i am not saying "it is only the thought that counts" for the love of pete! adoption is another option that people should be more aware of. even those children who are, sadly but all too often, left in orphanages and foster care (note- not all foster families are abusers and molesters or only in it for the money, and not all orphanages are run by ol' girl in "Annie") can lead PERFECTLY NORMAL LIVES. and YES, for all that's holy, some people want to adopt but cannot do it b/c they are lacking the finances to even make it through a BACKGROUND CHECK THAT IS DONE DURING THE ADOPTION PROCESS...THE AGENTS TRYING TO CONNECT CHILD TO PARENT HAS TO TAKE A LOT OF THINGS INTO CONSIDERATION (finances being one of them...and money is a big deal b/c it is often regarded more highly than a home with both mother and father-ex:rosie o'donnell)...SOMETIMES THE COUPLE JUST WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. geez, ppl. and it IS different from the biological parents, AlphaChiS2K, b/c they are not CHOOSING to KILL the child.
the difference is that people who choose abortion are choosing to end the life of their child, partly b/c they believe the child IS better off dead, but partly b/c it WILL require more work on their part (meaing more work hours, less time and money for their needs). the people who choose adoption are taking a positive outlook for someone other than THEMSELVES...their child and its future.
i, killarneyrose, am in NO way trying to raise a child right now in my life...i am trying to keep a child ALIVE so someone else can and so it can at least have a shot at life. and that is all.
i am sorry for using all caps in there a bit, but you ppl are twisting what i am trying to say into something it's not. i do not want to raise a child right now, and i do not think that any pro-lifer who isn't raising an adopted child is "all talk and no help". i think that pro-life means just that, and not pro-"give me a kid and i'll do it myself". ok?
