That is sad...and I can understand the "need" for things like abortion in the country, but the real need is for a sociatal change. I'll be that it isn't that easy. The truth is, without birth control those women will continue to have 10 children and the conditions will continue to be poor. I still don't believe that abortion is the right way to go-that just takes that child's chance at life away completely. I saw a new special once on Chinese women (years and years ago). It highlighted one woman who was allowed to have so many girls, I think. She had had a daughter, her first and after that was required to have an abortion every time it was a confirmed girl...even if that meant a D&X (partial birth abortion). It is very sad...but in those cases the problem is society, not the children. I'm not sure how you fix a thing like that-so thank God I'm not their president or something...much smarter people are reserved for that.

And I also don't think that capital punishment is the best choice...to me it is a little grayer than abortion, but it is still killing and that's not our place. Same with killing terminally ill patients. Make them comfortalbe, by all means, but don't kill them! Cause you never know. God will take us when he's good and ready.
