Wow, the left spent $8 million vs Handel's $183,00. Wow!
Not exactly true. The $8 million waas what he had raised, Ossoff had spent a little over $6 milion as of the last report, Handel's $183,000 was he cash on hand at the last report

But though he’s stuffed his warchest, Ossoff is facing $5.5 million in negative ads from groups such as the GOP leadership’s Congressional Leadership Fund ($3.7 million), the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) ($1.8 million) and the National Rifle Association ($61,000).
This is in addition to funds spent by other GOP candidates as well as other groups including $1.2 million from the Super PAC Ending Spending (interesting name) which supported Handel.
I would rather they run on and promote the adopting of the hundreds of thousands of kids who are already in foster care waiting for a family. Their mothers chose not to abort them just like you guys wanted. Buy what kind of life is that if they are unwanted and not loved. There has to be some foundation which you build your life on. Loving parents nurture you and teach you their values. They want you to be the best you can be. Kids going from foster home to foster home never learn this. They never feel wanted. Before we condemn abortion we really need to care of these kids first. And I have never heard anyone who has run on this which is deplorable.
I won't disagree with that, in spirit. However, I'll also point out that it likely wouldn't have much of an impact, while efforts to curtail abortion can.
Moving on, these people are not unloved. And what about every foster child who grows up to have their own loving families or otherwise become contributing members to society? Your argument makes it seem like it would've been better if such people had never been born (perhaps you don't feel this way personally, but I have heard the argument before). That theirs are lives not worth living. But, as I have asked in the past, have you ever asked such individuals (once grown) if they wish they had never been born? From those who were raised in the foster care system who are now out on their own (whether they were adopted out or not), they certainly do not wish such in my experience. Let's stop trying to judge and decide others' lives before they have had the opportunity/time to judge their own lives.

Isn't it the right of every woman to decide for herself when to have a child? After all, she's living too.
How about let's stop trying to judge and decide other's lives totally instead of selectively.

Exactly, so if a woman wants an abortion they should be allowed to have one

You clearly didn't read or just chose to ignore what I wrote. What part of "before they have had the opportunity/time to judge their own lives" isn't clear?
"Handel — Ossoff’s GOP opponent in the runoff election — only raised $463,744 and spent $279,767 as of March 29. In fact, all 17 other candidates combined raised less ($4.2 million) and spent less ($3.2 million) than Ossoff, as of March 29, FEC records show."

When you add in the PACS and Super PACS which I linked to earlier in the thread, the GOP and affiliated groups outspent the Democrats and affiliated groups.
