Sounds like
Nobama,who didn't want his daughters to "be punished with a mistake". Yikes..it's no wonder that here in Chicago,there are shootings and killings on the street each night..no respect for human life. AND..it is not mine or anyone else's responsibility to "put our money where our mouths are" and adopt. PERSONAL responsiblity is what it is all about..don't plan on anyone else raising or paying for baby if you get pregnant. I had a few pregnancies scares in my youth,too...I would have raised the baby on my own. The very thought of a doctor approaching me to kill my child is something that makes me shudder. And for those of you who say it's "not yet a child"....well,it eventually will be UNLESS interrupted in it's growth by human hands. Bless the very young out there who were told by Planned Parenthood and all the rest that it is okay to have an abortion and then had to live with the pain of killing a child later. Abortion kills two spirits.

Linda, no it does not "kill two spirits". You want to create this idea in your head that it's some much bigger deal than it is.

This is how it works: "oops (shoot, crap, darn...make it personal), I'm pregnant. I'll have an abortion...insert 5 minute long procedure here... wow, that was a close one. I'm glad that little mess is over with and I can learn from my mistakes and move on with my life. Now what am I going to have for lunch?"

The thing is, most people who choose to adopt an infant have to wait at least a year after going through a lengthy screening, including home studies, interviews with people they know, etc, to have a child placed with them. And if you already have children, well, good luck adopting an infant. The birthmother gets to screen and have the final say in who adopts her child and she can choose to maintain contact or not if she so wishes. There are so many families anxiously waiting to adopt. Sadly, many older children do linger in the foster care system. But the children lost to abortion would almost certainly have a home available. And maybe you wonder about foreign infant adoptions? Countries have caps on those, and so people have to wait a long time to adopt foreignly.
I work with women facing unplanned pregnancies every day. Sometimes they are in really tough situations. But that doesn't change the fact that within 21 days of conception, there is a beating heart, and, of course, that they are a unique individual whose genetic code will never be repeated. The world misses out on that person every time a baby is aborted. Life has value. Not only the life of the in-utero child, but also the life of the mother and the father of the baby. It actually disgusts me the way people have refered to Chelsea in this forum. I disagree with her, but she is a person like the unborn we hope to defend, and therefore is endowed with dignity. To call someone a derogetory name is to try to take away a piece of their humanity, to reduce them to less-than status, and I think that is horrible.
My organization also have post-abortion counseling. Not only do the babies lose thier lives, but many women's lives spiral out of control, either right after the abortion, or sometimes years down the road. Many women don't feel remorse, but sooo sooo many do.
Even though it's legal, it doesn't make it right (see: slavery, banning interacial marriage, etc).

Did you take 5th grade biology? Steven Tyler doesn't have a uterus.
