To the Democrat, the innocent unborn child is the lowlife and that is the other person in that "belly kicking" equation according to that sick post

The Dems once again show their "caring" side

It seems that murder is legal in America since abortion is legal. The sad thing is that the innocent are murdered here while the left cares so much about the dregs of society like murderers, and gang members

Seems pretty twisted if you ask many people

Do you listen to that guy Ann Coulter?
According to him, single parent children are more likely to become criminals.

Out of curiosity, have you looked at any studies on the subject?

How often does the single mother struggle financially?
Do their kids often end up in jail? Or in college? Compared to 2-parent homes.
What happens to the mother? How often does she become successful, comfortable or go bankrupt, compared to 2-parent homes.

I have the impression the right doesn't care about those numbers at all.
And I cannot understand how that perspective makes any sense.

Adoption works

Personal responsibility works

Here's a wild idea..pick a responsible father who actually marries the mother and wishes to be in the kid's life. That way, the family wont be eligible for welfare in the first place.

ooh look, its Comp needing someone else to do his homework again for him.

Relationship Between the Welfare State and Crime

First, children from single-parent families are more likely to become involved in criminal activity. According to one study, children raised in single-parent families are one-third more likely to exhibit anti-social behavior.(3) Moreover, O'Neill found that, holding other variables constant, black children from single- parent households are twice as likely to commit crimes as black children from a family where the father is present. Nearly 70 percent of juveniles in state reform institutions come from fatherless homes, as do 43 percent of prison inmates.(4) Research indicates a direct correlation between crime rates and the number of single-parent families in a neighborhood.(5)

I know, you'll come back and pretend this doesnt confirm Ann Coulters response just like everything else you respond to..

He's a pretty man, but I'm not jealous of him.
I would NEVER do what he does - I don't have the stomach to be that much of a lying a$$hole.

So you've read studies about the lives of adopted children then, maybe?
I've known a few adopted children, and they had rougher childhoods than many of the children I grew up with. I don't know if that is the norm.

If adopted children became criminals 4x as often (not a real number), would that make you hesitate?

Or are you ignoring the life completely.
Would you care if adoption hurts the mother long-term and often leads to a bad life for the child?

I haven't seen those numbers discussed very often when talking about abortion.

Lol, I would love to know where you thought I was disagreeing with Mr. Coulter.
I know its not your strong suit, but try reading.
Go slower, you are missing a lot of words and meaning, as is your habit.
