There are plenty of infertile couples who want to adopt. It would be a lot easier for those who want to adopt if they were not being aborted first. With the scarcity of babies to adopt and all the rules they have made up for adoption it is hard for the average couple to adopt right now.
You still didn't answer the original question. It doesn't matter how many are available now for adoption. Its a matter of how many are willing to adopt if thats what you want as the answer to the problem. However, if you must know; I believe that most adoption websites are reporting approximately 120,000 children in the US that are available for adoption.
The question posed was: How many unwanted children have *YOU* and prolife hypocrites like you, adopted. There has to be a middle ground that everyone has to agree on. I do not think that the moment the sperm hits the egg, the next day there is a child. Within the first trimester, a woman should be allowed to abort an unwanted fetus. Only a lunatic religious fundamentalist would suggest that a zygote is a baby. These are the lunatics who suggest that the earth is flat and 6000 years old. Quote from version77: There are plenty of infertile couples who want to adopt. It would be a lot easier for those who want to adopt if they were not being aborted first. With the scarcity of babies to adopt and all the rules they have made up for adoption it is hard for the average couple to adopt right now.
Are you in favor of what was going on pre RvW; back alley procedures with coat hangers that cost the lifes of many young women? DS
Yeah, sonograms do count as pictures, since when pictures count as live humans? You can take a picture of a rock, you can take an x-ray of your brain - in both cases you'll have pictures of completely dead objects. Do fetuses breath, eat, think, make sounds, cry, have emotions, ask for a raise, move on their own? Jeez. I know you compare them to yourself, fetuses don't think and you don't have a brain either. That's pretty much where the similarities end, it pains me to admit but you're a person, a fetus is still a fetus.
You were once a fetus. IF a fetus is left alone (which is natural by the way) and not killed it WILL become a human being. Hard to stomach but ALL fetus's become human beings unless killed first. Or there is a spontaneous abortion or stillborn death. Taking life out of a woman's womb and killing it is not natural. It is 'frickin Barbaric. If a woman does not want a baby she shouldn't be having sex in the first place. And don't tell me women do not feel any guilt after having abortions. They do. If not, then they do not have a concious. Or they are on drugs or maybe even perhaps sociopathic. HOW WOULD YOU OF LIKED TO BE AN ABORTED FETUS?
If a woman wants to make the decision to put a hanger up her baby maker and kill it and it harms herself then fine. Maybe it's nature's way of telling her she is trying to commit murder.
You are the one that asked if anyone has every seen them and with a sonogram people have seen them right? yes, fetesus do eat, have brainwaves, kick, move, have developed (not fully) brains much like yours. Have you ever heard of baby forn malnurished? born with braindamage? A child kicking in their mothers stomach? Have you ever seen what a partial birth abortion does? You are frighteneingly ignorant on the subject.
Seriously now, I'm surprised to see so many conservatives here who actually seem to want the gov't to outlaw abortion. Wouldn't a more logical stance for you, be something like: "Abortion is an immoral act, a sin against God and all that- but still, it is not the proper role of gov't to intervene"?
