My pleasure, literally.
You know, I never had much maternal feeling before having kids of my own, and found other people's kids pretty annoying. Grew up in a lib household with Planned Parenthood materials shoved in my hands before I was even dating and had Zero Population Growth member parents. But somehow, it all worked out. Thanks for your comments.
"Have you looked around lately? There ain't a lot of choice."
I know. That is why I choose to stay single and don't date.
Adoption - I was thinking the same thing. This is not about "terminating a pregnancy"; it is undeniably about terminating children's lives, since she did, after all, choose to remain pregnant. Why couldn't she give the "unwanteds" to one or two of the millions of infertile couples out there, who no doubt wanted them terribly? Better to be dead than raised by someone other than the birth mother, I suppose.
As for the lucky little one who escaped her tools of death, he too would have been much better off in a different home - one that wouldn't have to explain having torn apart his siblings while he lay only inches away. Poor kid.
Kids are still the best investment, IMHO. That 401k is nice, but will it come to your party when you're 80 with the grandkids?
