When was the last time you had to make that choice, and do you actually have empirical evidence to back up that statement?
What a witchy thing to say! You have pee'd me off terribly with that snide little statement.
You have NO fricken clue what choices I and my spouse have had to make regarding children & family, or the losses we have sustained. I've watched two of our unborn fetuses die. I've been on both the adoption & the fertility road.
Adoption costs $15,000-$50,000. The people that I've met in the adoption classes were well to do, college educated couples who, for the most part, waited too long to bear a child. They have the means and the maturity to raise a child.
Foster children. I lived across the street from a wonderful foster mother. She brought in alot of kids, and took care of them. . For the most part, these kids were in "holding" waiting for the bad parents to lose their parental rights, and a well-meaning relative to get custody & pass background checks.
Yes, some kids who are in foster stay there. But, why do you think they are there? They are really, really bad parents. These kids have had NO upbringing, have extreme emotional (and usually sexual) problems. Would you like to adopt a child who watched porn with his father, shooted crack with his mother, and raped his own sister? Yes, this was one of the kids my neighbor had.
I was brought up a JW. Not a great upbringing. I was abused, I was hit, I watched my mother get beat up. But, I'll take being alive verses being aborted.
There's my empirical evidence to your witless statements.
