Sharon J., that is one of my biggest issues how pregnant girls are left holding the bag while the boys/men who knocked them up get to go on with life and usually have a pretty damned good one at that!
On a more positive note, Sharon J.,
I had an abortion in 10994 after my tubal from seven years previously failed. I never have been haunted by that abortion. In fact, I am very grateful every single day that I escaped that baby. I shudder to think the life I would have had as a single moo had I birthed that little mistake. I probably would be busting my ass off as a server as that is where the
$$$ is to be made if one does not have a college degree in a line of work that is needed. I would have aching feet, a more hardened heart due to living in a shit hole apartment as I could not afford more, and no love for a child I felt as an albatross around my neck.
My abortion -- 12/04/94 -- was the best thing ever...and I went out on the 5th to celebrate.
Cambion, you are right how how anti-abortion people only want more "healthy white babies" for the adoption pool. Most biracial or handicapped babies or children end up in foster homes. The only time pro-lifers will adopt one of these kids is to they can have bragging rights of
"how wonderful they are for giving these poor, poor kids a home". I am certain these children have to hear it every-fucking-day how they should be "grateful" to be adopted. That happens to the "healthy white children" as well...
