What about the child that becomes handicap after they are born? Are you released of responsbility because it becomes to hard? How do you make that decision?

If you are so adamant about this decision that some people feel they need to make then maybe you should start adopting these special children yourself. IMO talk is cheap. Pro-lifers (in general, not all)want all children to be born but how many actually adopt those that are not wanted? Anyone have statitistics?
I am sick of Republicans saying one thing: we want less govertment control-yet they do the opposite and try to control our lives by telling us that we have to have a child if we become pregnant or we can't end our own lives. If I want an abortion whether early term or late term that is my business not anyone elses so keep out of my business. If you are against abortion-great all power to you, have as many children as you want (as long as you have the finances and well being to take care of them) but don't tell me I have to have a child if I do get pregnant and want to terminate the pregnancy. I won't interfere with your life so don't interfere with mine.
I was sickened this week when I saw on the news that Jeb Bush made them replace the feeding tube in the brain injured woman-I know this is another topic but I am tired of the government making decisions for families. If I want to die that is my business not the governments. If my mother is terminally ill or feels she has no quality of life and wants to die that is my family's business. IMO life is about quality NOT quantity. BTW I wonder who pays for this woman's care also-talk about a financial burden-and yes finances do come into play for some people. If the government wants to keep people alive that want to die then it should come out of their pockets and I don't mean the taxpaying citizens-I mean their actual bank account. I also find it sick that this poor woman has to starve to death in order to die a "peaceful" death-why can't we euthanize her-this is a peaceful death. I know some people don't agree-that is fine but again if it happens to my family that is my and my family's business not the governments and not yours.
