One in four kids in America is now living in poverty. There are thousands of children out there who need love and care. My point is that while everyone is railing about killing babies, very few people want to take care of these babies after they're born. Or really cares much what happens to them--in spite of all the morality talk about "for the children." The US as a country is into building prisons--not schools. I'm for taking care of the kids we've got...not bringing kids into the world that not even the parents want or can care for. I think that the babies who are born should be wanted, and that the parent or parents should feel they have the means to care for them--financially and emotionally-- whether the parents are rich or poor. I also believe that women should have control over their bodies.Bringing a fetus to term is a woman's decision to make. Birth control doesn't always work. People are fallible. They make mistakes. I will not argue this with you or anyone. I don't believe women should have abortions. No woman wants to have an abortion. But I think they should have the choice....and be able to make that choice in safety. Bringing a fetus to term and giving it up for adoption is another choice. I think it is as painful a choice, if not more, for a woman, than having an abortion. There is a biological, physical, and hormonal bond between mother and child that makes it very difficult for a woman to go through full pregnancy, have a baby and then give it away. I think this factor may be very difficult for men to comprehend. But adoption is a choice women have. Abortion is another. I believe women should have the choice. When abortion is illegal, women --both married and single women--continue to make the choice to have abortions. The difference is that they are forced into dangerous situations and many die.Wealthy women can always go to other states or countries where abortion is legal. It is poor women who die. That's how I feel about it--whether it scares you or not. sno0wl DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
