Some of these statistics are as recent as I can find them and if I made a mistake on any of them or anybody has more recent data on the subject please feel free to correct me. And yes I’m very aware that I look and sound like absolute in this video and that I’m probably all over the map but hopefully you can make some sense of it. My questions remain the same though. Why can’t we instead of arguing about abortion, start encouraging adoption and encouraging others to adopt and why is it that most pro lifers only care about the baby while it’s in the mothers stomach? After that they stop giving a and go on about their life.

I do have to say …
I do have to say one thing that offended me in your video. It’s a small thing, and I’m sure I’m being overly sensitive, but I take exception to the phrase about a woman “spreading her legs.” I don’t think you meant any disrespect, but I just don’t like that phrase. It’s crass, and embarrassing to me as a woman. I apologize in advance if I’ve offended you, as that is not my intention. You said you’d like comments, so I thought I’d mention it.
Peace to you.
I was shocked …
I was shocked because I had been told I could not physically have kids. IVF was not an option for us morally. With so many kids needing a home, American kids, it seemed like a good choice. Our son is only a toddler, but we may still adopt in the future, when he’s a little older.
I agree that there …
I agree that there is hypocrisy in some right-wing-pro-life people. I disagree with people who fight for the pre-born, yet begrudge public assistance for parents and kids. I am totally against abortion, but I support the WIC program, and others like it. I put my money where my mouth is. My husband and I wanted to be parents. I started looking into foster care adoption. Coincidentally, I became preggers shortly before I got my foster parent package from the county. I was shocked and delighted.
Yes. Americans have …
Yes. Americans have indeed contibuted to the dumbing down of our very own children.
The legal system in the US of A makes it easier to adopt a child from China than from our own environment.
Why can’t we legally adopt Seniors as their caretakers for the remainder of their days?
Why are we blocked on the most basic social levels from caring for each other thru the lifespan?
