you are a very strange and bitter old man. sorry for your anger and hatred.
agreed.
You respond like the liberals do. When they are caught within a pointless argument, they start calling conservatives names.
“...she shouldn’t use a false standing as a rape victim...”
Do you have inside information? You seem pretty confident that she wasn’t raped.
As for trying to make big bucks, do you think the contract between her and the state was enforceable or not? Was there a stipulation in the contract that it was null and void after 30yrs?
I am sorry that, on a conservative site, we have to deal with silly, selfish people, who live based on emotions and feelings.
Bitter old man, what a fool you are.
Although can we trust states to honor contracts they sign? (Smirk)
She does not have to honor any contract. She was never beholden to the contract. The state was.
I didn’t say that adoptees should be lucky to be alive. I said I would be glad to be alive. I AM glad to be alive. My mother accidentally set herself on fire while she was pregnant with me. It could have turned out differently. She was also very young and already had two children. She could have aborted me. I am glad she did not.
I am glad we have found some common ground. :)
Yeah, I am glad too. You sound like a neat sensible mother. God bless you.
Thank you very much! :)
LOL...yeah, then you must be liberal because you started with the name calling right from the beginning. what a joke you are.
I have to defend rawhide here. I read back through all the posts and I only find well reasoned arguments until you call him a name. Then he says you argue like a liberal. You began right away by calling the rape victim a wussy.
yes, but i didn’t call HIM a wussy. He called the name first with the “whiner” comment towards ME.
I am sorry, I thought you called rawhide a strange and bitter old man. I am defending the wrong person.
ping to 215, it is to late for me to be posting lol.
sorry about the last reply. thought you were the other person.
Are you for real? What part of “freedom” do you not understand?
I wouldn’t dream of criticizing you for the pursuit of your birth parents. If I were adopted, I would want to know, too. I can only imagine that it is painful not to know where you came from.
But my main concern with this case is that if women know that a child that they gave up for adoption years ago could turn up on their doorstep asking even the most legitimate question like “Why did you give me up?”, then more women might opt for abortion just to have closure on a painful chapter of their life.
In a case like this, where the child was a product of rape, who does it serve to unearth this thirty years later? Not the woman, not the rejected child, not the woman’s other children or family. The fact is that everyone suffered from this action and no one benefited. It was just flat out the wrong thing for the State to do.
And for others who think that the mother is just in it for the money, if she hadn’t filed a lawsuit, we wouldn’t be discussing this. This is America — about the only way that you can get attention and change from the government on an issue like this, IS to file a lawsuit for a substantial amount of money. Sad, but true.
Regarding my earlier post to you, I am only referring to this topic on this thread. We may disagree on this one, but agree on many other things. I should have clarified that in that post.
