Really, I think the restrictions that are made on adoptions are the real problem. It is so horrible trying to "qualify" to adopt that it's crazy! And horribly expensive too!
correct. I'm going on my fourth year in trying to adopt. Problem is, Im' a single person (not married), but I own my own house (don't have any mortgage), earn a good salary, and I work only weekdays (weekends are free). and I have my mother who lives near by that can help with babysitting (she's all for it).
I'm still not "qualified" and I only watch as potential children go to families first (or shuffled into foster care instead).
There is a huge bias in how Adoption works in the US. If I'm not cleared by end of this year, I'm going to look to adopt from foreign countries instead. Its cheaper, and less time consuming.

If I were you I would get that ball rolling as soon as possible. It takes awhile.
The answer is NEVER. I am against the death penalty and also opposed to mandatory life sentences. I would actually be happy if most prisons were torn down. Once we legalize drugs(as we should) we should only need a handful of lockups for real criminals(murderers, child molestors, ect...)
What is your point?
Oh I'm sorry. I didn't know you were living in lalaland. No wonder we disagree.
There is nothing moral about the movements constant harassment, physical intimidation, and murder of abortion providers, their staff, and even their landlords.
There is nothing moral about the movement setting camp in front of schools with pictures of medical procedures and starting fights to record on camera.
There is nothing moral about pro-lifers wishing to prevent abortion even in the circumstance where the pregnancy threatens the life of the mother.
There is nothing moral about championing to outlaw abortion, contraception, and help for those who have to pay for your demands on their family planning.
There's nothing moral about murdering your unborn baby. What you probably aren't aware of is that abortion providers need to meet their quotas. It's not about choice. Do some research.

So women are frequently forced into these places against their will to meet those quotas?
I highly doubt that. They CHOOSE to go to them for the most part.
