Hypocrites.

Does it make you feel better about yourself to demonize those who would restore personhood to those not yet born?

Everyone knows childless couples go on waiting lists to adopt.

When my sister gave her son up for adoption she interviewed the couples who wished to adopt him.

When she interviewed them, the first couple answered a question in a way that was unacceptable, but the second couple (a Christian couple) answered all her questions correctly and was granted the adoption.

He's now seventeen and happy.

I've seen his Facebook page.

He's an energetic teenager who attended excellent private schools, plays sports and got his good looks from his mother's side of the family.

You tell us these women give this great thought and deliberation, but it's unfair to make them look at a damn picture because they could not handle that?

What crap.

So, in other words.....women should be forced to perform as incubators to provide product for those who don't wish to adopt the children that are ALREADY available.

Can't find the make and model you prefer.....so let's enforce slave labor....literally. How disgusting.

In this case, they just want them to look at a picture and think about it some more.

But to your point, Planned Parenthood was founded by a eugenicist who desired to rid the world of "undesirables."

So who's on the icky side of abortion?

You know what? I am happy for your sister. I'm also happy that she had a choice and she made the choice that was right for her.

There are lots of different reasons why women make the choices that they do, but it is important that they have that choice to make and that they aren't forced to proceed with a pregnancy they're unprepared for.

I have granddaughters. I love them with all my heart, and while I hope they never find themselves facing a pregnancy they're not ready for, if they do, I want them to be able to have a SAFE and LEGAL procedure. And if that happens, I will be there to hold their hand and offer my support and love.

Nobody is forcing them to do anything but look at a picture.

I think all women already know what a fetus looks like.

Women of all races are given the right to choose abortion......how is that practicing eugenics?

Do you want to ban women of certain races the right to choose? or ALL women? So much for your argument. FAIL.

Then it can't hurt.

Afraid they will change their minds?
