[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm all for improved services for mothers and families--paid maternity leave, affordable child care--woo hoo!

I just find it bizarre that some of PPs see that the primary goal for increasing these kinds of resources is to create a world where adoption never happens. That the primary goal is to end the horror that is adoption, when adoption is a perfectly viable option.[/quote]

That isn't going to fix why many place.  They are minimizing the true issues.  We have supports in place for low income with affordable child care and more but not everyone has access to all that nor has the skills to raise a child.  If life were only that simple.[/quote]

Life isn't simple but isn't it amazing that [i]billions[/i] of people have been able to navigate it without having their hand held? 
How mothers in third world countries without access to clean water or a stable government are able to raise their child?[/quote]

You're right. I'm going to agitate for an unstable government and unclean water.

What is your point? That we shouldn't progress as a society?[/quote] Are you stupid or deliberately obtuse? Billions of women around the world can manage to raise their children in less than ideal circumstances but somehow, American women are so helpless that they can not accomplish the same with all the resources available in the country without piling on more. How embarrassing to think that American women are so fragile and incompetent. So much for women's liberation. Today's American women doesn't want equality, she wants special treatment because what she can't seem to manage what third world mothers can do. Shameful.[/quote]

I'm both stupid AND deliberately obtuse, thanks.

I think your argument against governmental support systems ("Third World mothers make do with less") is totally off base. We HAVE the resources to support women and families. I think we should.

American women are also strong and resilient, raising in children in all kinds of circumstances. Bolstering their ability to do so can only be a good thing. Come on. Y[/quote]
