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)

Trust me when I say, I wait for NO ONE to tell me what or how to think, other than God himself. I think it's downright offensive for you to imply that because I am pro-life, I wait for my pastor, significant other or anyone to tell me what to think. I have never once heard my pastor preach on abortion. Not once. *I* would not have married my husband if he was not pro life, so he doesn't have to tell me what to think.
I do not understand at all why it would bother you for me to use the term "lighted botched abortion". They can and do happen. Would denying that abortions that happen legally in the US causes infertility or severe emotional pain that lasts a lifetime for many women make it less so? I can not pretend botched abortions don't happen today. There are too many testimonies.
I'm sorry if you have suffered the pain of loss as a first mother. I sincerely feel for you. I think there needs to be reform in the private adoptions secter.
Do you think it would have been easier to have an abortion?
