So I can only imagine how some single moms today must feel in their daily struggles. Many of them dearly love their children. Their lives have just been complicated beyond what most people want to think about. Most people don't really care unless it is them.
It is easy to say the child should be put up for adoption especially if it isn't you or your own flesh and blood. Sometimes that is best. Often it does not work out for the child in the way some want to believe. A lot of it depends on the true motives of the adoptive parents.
My friend always felt like she was a replacement for their natural child who had died, never resolved it nor could find her biological mother. Another spent months in a mental health facility for the simple reason that her records were sealed, and she was not allowed to even know who her true parents were. One very close to my family who was adopted into an affluent home was very unhappy and ended up committing suicide. I can kind of understand how he felt knowing what his life was like, before he turned to drugs and alcohol to kill the pain. So there are two sides to it.
Could have been worse, his mother could have had a typical white woman..
And you say you are both Christians. ...I don't think so.
No, just punish the baby with a death sentence for the mother not being able to keep her legs together.
“So I guess your parents were punished with you.”
And the rest of us suffer.
Obama considers his own flesh & blood an unwanted `tumor’,
but he would defend a cop-killer like Mumia. Incredible.
Too bad his mother didn’t feel the same way.
Guess those values and morals went out the window. Adoption is always there Obama and the family adopting probably couldn't have children of their own for some reason.
Unbelieveable. Punished with a baby.
Yup - we’re just brainless animals, incapable of controlling ourselves.
If he was speaking of contraception and not abortion, still, it does not make him “Dad of the Year”. What kind of contraception and at what age?
Sure, I instill all that morals and values stuff into my kids and tell them not to steal or kill. But I provide them with a ski mask a good lawyer and a bullet proof vest just in case they decide to rob the local 7-11. I don’t want them punished with a prison sentence.
If his daughters did the same thing and got AIDS, would he want to “punish them with AIDS?” Of cource not, but that’s not an option.
Obama has royally stepped in it this time.
He’ll anger a whole lot, a whole entire lot of grandparents of in or out-of-wedlock grandchildren.
Cuts across race, class, and political lines.
“My grandchild is a form of PUNISHMENT!!!!?”
Said Barack: “If my daughters are ridin’ dirty I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
In the last two weeks, we have had the publicized Wright rants and now this. These are two most telling revelations about a presidential candidate. Even more important than socialistic proposals, his character flaws run very deep.
