I don't understand why poverty is a good reason to kill a baby.

I assume you've adopted a few unwanted babies; if not, you're a hypocrite meddling in other women's lives.[/quote]

but see, as soon as someone says why doesn't the woman just have the baby and put it up for adoption, the pro-choicers scream about how terrible that option is, too (see the multiple references to the handmaid's tale just in this thread).  i am reluctantly pro-choice, because i recognize that abortion may be a necessary evil.  [b]i wish we could focus more time and energy on finding ways to avoid the need for them.[/b]  wish we could get to a place where adoption was a realistic solution and not seen as a backwards way of "keeping women down."  hell, i'd rather see a law that allowed parents to pay women with unwanted pregnancies to stay health and place the baby (yes, i realize this is selling a child).  it just seems to me that people are so focused on finding ONE solution that we miss the opportunity to find multiple options that might work in various different realities (perfect storm or not).

We know what these ways are.  It's called mandatory sex education in all public and private schools and access to free or low-cost birth control.  None of which Republicans want to provide, because they believe that anyone who is ever weak (a sinner?) deserves what they get.  So VERY Christian of them.  Guess they forget THEY are sinners in the eyes of God, who just might judge them quite harshly.[/quote]
