All the abortion ststistics you could possibly want. What is noteworthy on this thread is that black women, comprising about 12% of the population, account for 35% of abortions.
There will be some hell to pay when folks like Jesse and Hillary line up to see St Peter, eh?
Not a whole lot. I got into a long "argument" with a colleague who claimed my statistics must be wrong. He demanded proof, and I spent a good while collecting it for him. To no avail, of course. Once I presented him with solid written sources for my numbers, he said the problem was that the MAN (I kid you not) was putting out fake data to badmouth Black people. This is the sort of person my students considered an intellectual!
Aside from this guy, most of my colleagues just avoided the subject. But my big boss (the college prez) made very sure I suffered, and--for this as well as many other of my indiscretions--he saw to it that my early retirement came just a bit earlier than I had planned.
Perhaps it is time for people like you to adopt a less demeaning and insulting attitude towards other adoptive children instead of stepping over them in the rush to advance your own agenda.
The man has a good point. Pro-lifers need to be positive as well as being in the fight against PP. Could conservative groups create a program which teaches the positive parts of the one offered by PP and offer it to these day camps, or to youth groups in the area?
My point is why should the camps have to ask. Why aren't the pro-life groups gearing up to go out and pitch themselves to these camps? I know the pro-life groups do not have the resources that PP has. We help our own pregnancy help group as much as we can monetarily. But this is a way to use the skills of people in the group; some may not be comfortable picketing clinics or attending and speaking out at town Council meetings, but may be willing to help in a program like what is offered at the camps.
There may even been some Catholic high schools or colleges in the area at which these pro-life groups could recruit for help in the summer.
C'mon....You weren't talking about "social policy." You were talking about individual families who adopt, and attacking (AGAIN) those who choose to adopt abroad. As I've said before, I'm happy that you adopted the kids you did, but people like you look down at families like mine because we weren't all "made in the USA." I would think you'd be glad that some kids in horrible situations abroad have found a home and freedom in the US, but instead, you make snide comments about us for years on end.
I think that you should also be aware (before you continue on) that many of us feel that we've been led through prayer to adopt internationally. Who are you to argue with that? Do you think that only people who have done exactly what you have are led by God?!
As for the rest, call me all the names if you like, mlmr. I really don't care.
Babe, I'm NEVER going to "get over" prejudice against my kids and my family.
You should be ashamed of yourself....but I suspect you're incapable of that.
That's right, but while I respect your adoption of your children, you have belittled and insulted mine.
You have plenty of which to be ashamed.
We've been discussing this for years, mlmr. You know very well that you've insulted me and my family on various occasions.
You are disingenuous about that (and other things).
