My wife and I have one healthy, biological daughter(thank you God).
My wife was back in the ER the day we came home from the hospital, stayed another week, and had 2 miscarriages in the next 3 years after. She cannot have any more kids without an extremely high risk to her own life, or the child's.
We have been in the foster care system for over 2 years now. Not wanting to adopt a baby(even though they only cost around $30k minimum to buy...yes you don't "adopt" babies...you have to Buy them).
And the rest of the system is a mess.
You can't tell me that there isn't one little girl in this country, close in age to our daughter, in dire need, and wanting a home where they will be loved.
We're waiting, praying and hoping.
Meanwhile, it's ok to abort/aka kill babies.
The only good(if any) that comes from an abortion, is sparing a child from not being wanted or loved.
How f'd up our society has become.
It's heartbreaking to think that there are families willing to take care of these kids and children who want nothing but to be loved and wanted, and somehow they're being kept apart.
I have read what everyone posted . This is my experience broken down very simply as I can .
FYI I usually stay out of these kind of topics .
Life is cruel , and were not all meant to live. I have been , and seen things that make this a impossible subject to pick a side .
Many abortions in reality is a harvesting of human organs . Some to save , and others for ? ( use your imagination ) .
Many women are Drug addicts , and simply put would never raise a infant correctly . Thus making more worthless humans sucking the tit of the world .
Money ! Its a business in much the same as any other .
Is it fair ? No , but was life ever fair ?
I see children ( special needs ) that should be with God . If we roll back the clock 50 to 100 years they would of perished shortly after birth . I'm not talking a child missing a leg or blind . I'm talking the ones that have ZERO communication, and if left unsupported would perish in hours to a day . I have family in this condition by the way . The burden placed on family , and society is 100X more than if they were with our maker .
that's another solid point man. I can't honestly say I'd have the patience and ability to take care of a special needs child.
