Reply #142: I am VERY PRO-ABORTION.

We just haven't met. ;-)

When I see countless children born in America to parents who don't want them, especially children of COLOR who aren't immediately adopted to the tune of $20-50,000, I find myself asking the question - WHY BRING THEM INTO THE WORLD???????

Now, I think if I were white, lots of people would talk about Margaret Sanger, and genocide, etc. But I'm not. I'm looking at what I consider a community DISASTER - unloved, unwanted children growing up in a society that has no resources to provide for them, then something must be done.

I think a society that uses moral brainwashing to convince a 8-14 year old that she would be a murderer if she aborted the life within her is a sick society. I think a society that allows/ENCOURAGES women to use babies to blackmail men is a sick society.

There are simply some cases where I think abortion is the RIGHT thing to do. And if the female chooses not to, I personally think she's making a mistake. That's why I say "pro-abortion".

Now, if we lived in a society in which there were NO FOSTER HOMES, and EVERY child OF EVERY RACE could be placed in a loving home, then I'd probably change my position. But that's not the society we live in.

I actually think the pro-life movement, in some respects, is important because SOME OF THEM are working to improve adoption laws to favor families who want a child but may not meet some legislated bureaucratic ruling on what is a "fit" family. A parent who committed a felony 20 years ago is not necessarily an unfit parent. A parent who makes less than $25K is not necessarily an unfit parent.

So, I'm not crazy. I just have strong views. I want to see every child that's born have the opportunity to enjoy a home filled with love, even if it's only for a few moments before life's madness kicks in. (Yes, parents die, children become orphans, the world isn't perfect...)

But at least now you have conversed with someone who is pro-abortion.
