Do you advocate having more government services to make women more comfortable keeping their babies?
Ignorant post. Why do you assume that an aborted child is a child that would have had an "unpleasant" childhood? Are you asserting that only poor people have abortions?

They could have been adopted into loving homes, yes even the sick and handicap ones. Or the parents of the baby could have decided to grow up and take responsibility for starting a family. Maybe sooner than they wanted to but hey no one gets everything they want.

It's seems a tad inconsistent to label this as Republican vs. Democrat issue given many Republicans want to end social welfare, yesterday. How does 56 million incremental children and no social welfare compute?

When the pro-life folk start adopting these babies, I'll give it more thought.
They do---start giving it more thought.

Only God has the power over life and death.

"Pro Life" to me means a lot more than forcing women to have babies. How about the life of the earth and the animal species we are killing off for our McMansions and WALMARTS ? That is life, too, even if you are too selfish to acknowledge it and understand the ramifications that unrestrained feral cat style breeding by humans has on the other life forces that surround us.
Ignorant post. The average household is 2.3 kids. That's hardly overbreeding. In fact, the United States is suffering from negative population replacement rate. But i'm sure you have no idea what that means.

In other words, the only breeding going on around here is "unrestrained" ignorance. Congratulations yet again!

Then why do so many actual living kids still remain unadopted and in the system?
Why do you not want gay couples to adopt?

It's your inconsistencies that are cracking me up.

If most women think abortion is the only answer than she is being told what to do.

Again, every time you're asked to provide something about this, you can't.
Except for your opinion.
Why do you keep posting lies?
You have no proof, it's your opinion. And it's been shown to be ludicrous at best; lying to try to make your point.

ALL women know that they can carry a fetus to term, they do not think that abortion is the only answer.
Sheesh.

A lot of parents still have control. No child can be adopted until the parents give up parental rights. The parents may not want their child going to a gay couple, they have the last word.
