Abortion isn't the ONLY reason there are less babies to adopt here - the reasons you cite certainly have contributed to it - but your flippant rejection of abortion being the main cause of it is patently wrong!

I happen to be very familiar with adoption & about the only option here in this country for people wanting to adopt is through private adoption - which is very expensive - or to adopt a baby from a foreign country. The latter option is getting increasingly more difficult too as abortion is cutting into the available babies to adopt abroad as well.

The reason I said that what you said was crude & cruel is because I am a woman who has been unable to have a child of my own & my only options to become a mother have been through adoption. What you said was hurtful and offensive to me and I'm sure to anyone who has had to endure the painful process of trying unsuccessfully to have a baby.

You may call yourself a conservative, but I'll tell you what comes through to me when I read most of your comments - you seem to be quite arrogant and dismissive of anyone that disagrees with you. You have the right to support any candidate you choose, just as I have the right to do the same. Rudy's supporters are certainly in the minority on this site - and this being a CONSERVATIVE site - most people here are going to resent it when someone tries to tell us that Rudy is going to be our candidate & if we don't vote for him, we are called all sorts of names and insulted as to our religion and what part of the country we come from, as well as being blamed for all of the ills that Hillary would inflict on us.

As you can tell, from the tone of this thread - we are tired of it! It is no one's business who we will or will not vote for if it comes down to Hillary! versus Rudy! and this "demanding" an answer is not winning over converts for your cause.

I know you won't, but next time something smug, arrogant or elitist - starts to give birth out of your mouth - you might stop & think - "Is this going to help or hurt my cause?"

You are viewing this from your own bias and your own problems faced, in becoming a parent. Coming from that position, it your own thin skin and bias, that colors your posts to me and don't reflect the views of most Americans, for whom abortion is not a primary concern.

You have gone completely off topic and have completely misrepresented what I originally posted to another person.

In a world free of abortion and moral people, there would be NO babies for anyone to adopt. Take a minute or three and think about that. If you got what you wanted, there would be NO BABIES ANYWHERE for the childless to adopt.

Unlike you, I won't use this thread, nor any other, to sink to your level and allow your baiting and personal attacks to drag me into a silly flame war.
