They are both physical and emotional.

This is the first time I've heard the term, "lighted botched abortion". From my own experience I can tell you about the real, lasting effects on a woman who placed a child for adoption after hearing from adult after adult that she couldn't parent. She would be a poor parent. She could never give her child what he needed. She needed to GIVE her child to two parents. How would you, as an adoptive parent, like to hear the term, “LIGHTED BOTCHED ADOPTION”?
Luckily, we live in a country where we have the ability to choose. We live in a country where a Sarah Palin or a Hillary Clinton, two polar opposites, can achieve the presidency in our lifetime! We will, in the next few weeks have either our first black president or our first female vice-president serving our country. History!
Why then do I feel so frustrated?
Because, I see many American voters as “Sheeple”; they wait to hear from their preacher, their teacher or their significant other HOW to think. They vote on one issue. Or they don’t vote at all (even better IMO).
We wont change each other’s minds on this or any other thread. Life does that for us. Reading others’ views is educational and entertaining for me though. We are very lucky people to be able to espouse our views in public, without the threat of violence upon ourselves or the ones we love! (yes, I have had wine tonight)
