The children may be loved and, yes, even wanted by the time they are born, but the mother and sometimes, sometimes not, the father are not in the best situation to care for all the financial responsibilities that come with a baby. They may sacrifice their own well being for the sake of their child, which is something any parent would do, but I mean in the form of health care for themselves which puts a strain on the system when the parent suddenly needs health care due to a unforeseen illness or accident.<br /><br />They want these children born, wanted or unwanted, despite thinking about the costs of caring for said children. And then provide outdated, or outright deny aid, to those who are burdened financially. Of course those who are anti-choice (not pro-life, but anti-choice.. I believe in a difference between encouraging life and outright denying a choice) tend to be well-to-do.<br /><br />Case in point.. Miss Sarah Palin's daughter. Of course she had her baby.. her family could afford to have one. Yet if I was to have a child, it would place my mother and me in the poor house, whether that child was wanted and loved or not. They seem to believe that all the love in the world for a child can save it from a lifetime of extreme hardships but love can only do so much in a world where the dollar is king.Ashleasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-34151783640188610852010-05-06T01:05:28.169-05:002010-05-06T01:05:28.169-05:00I keep wondering what exactly it is that these ant...I keep wondering what exactly it is that these anti choice people are trying to achieve. I mean what do they really win if they get their way? I wonder if they even think of that and how can you vote to slash programs that would take care of babies and then turn around and force people to have babies that you don't want to help them take care for financially. What are they fighting for?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-45433613890870730432010-05-06T00:58:35.530-05:002010-05-06T00:58:35.530-05:00Your blog is definitely fighting the good fight.

Make no mistake, daughters of fortunate families have a "wealth" of options. It's only those who "have not" who have no choices. It is a way of hobbling the little people.<br /><br />Don't for a second forget the way they glorify the fetuses, only for their hearts to harden once those babies are born. Then all they can think about is that their tax dollars might go towards nourishing that child or giving it any advantage. Those who protect the fetus are the first to kick the baby to the curb, and serves her right for having had the wrong mother.<br /><br />Thank goodness for those who continue to fight for choice and reproductive rights. If the opposition manages to whittle away a woman's right to choose, what's next?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02628991139706929312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-82923121084733221682010-05-05T09:10:19.205-05:002010-05-05T09:10:19.205-05:00Amen.
