The only good I can see is if the mom changes her mind after birth the government will repay the adoptive parents for the medical costs they have paid.

But, what are the loopholes the moms have to jump through to get their babies back if they change their minds?!

I think I nearly threw up my corn dog (yeah I'm a five year old and like corn dogs, rofl.)

That has to be one of the most nauseating things I have ever read.... talk about promoting inequality and stupidity....

Musings of a Crazed Belle

6-24-2008 Caught my first walleye with my dad, I can't out fish him yet, but he won't drive me to the fish either.
7-6-2008 Talked to my firstbrother B for the first time in three years. Now, will he call me like he said he will?
7-9&10-2008 Mom and I remodel my bedroom. Why can't anything in this house be on the plumb?
7-22-2008 Dad gets a defibulator put in, I'm sure he'll be showing everyone the bump for months, but no fishing for four weeks.
8-5-2008 A month since I talked to B and he hasn't called me back. Why am I not surprised?
8-9-2008 Liz the kitty comes to live with me. Now my house won't be so empty.
8-19-2008 I get contacts again (YAY) my teeth cleaned (YAY) and a cracked tooth repaired (BOO). The cracked tooth is from work, man I love my job.

I think what appalled me was the number of people who commenting on the article who think it's a good idea!

The responses to that original article are absolutely horrifying. Ugh. Twelve weeks? Make the decision at TWELVE WEEKS? And how terrifying is it that so many people are saying that they're praying for this to become law in the U.S.??

This is so wrong, on so many levels, I cannot begin to express it.

*nods* Twelve weeks. Of course, at twelve weeks, I was set on parenting as I hadn't yet taken a turn for the worse health wise. But that first trimester is such a panic-stricken time in general! UGH.
