Pro Lifers How Many Children Have you adopted?

Question

Or do You Favour punishing rape victims and babies raising babies?

Answer 1

While I am pro-choice, what is the % of abortions from rape victims? The majority of abortions are not from that, it is just from irresponsibility. But it is no problem, we live in a society where we do not have to take responsibilty for anything we do so why should this be any different.

With the power of choice there should also be the responsibilty of using it in a bad situation. Not an easy fix for being lazy.

Answer 2

I'm not a "Pro lifer" but have adopted 3 & have 5 biologicals. However, since I am against abortion, I won't get one (since I'm a male).  I would advise anyone that doesn't want to raise a child to put it up for adoption. Some women have the ability to love a child, but not the means to provide for it... I have both.  While a single mother can raise a child without help, this is extremely difficult & few are successful when it comes to providing the best life for the child.

We know that nearly 90% of violent criminals come from homes with only one parent. See this:

Edit:

"A study that looked at the relation between divorce rates and out-of-wedlock birthrates and violent crime between 1973 and 1995 found that nearly 90% of the change in violent crime rates can be accounted for by the change in percentages of out-of-wedlock births. (Mackey and Coney 2000, p. 352)

· A study that looked at crime in rural counties in four states concluded,

"[A]n increase of 13% in female-headed households would produce a doubling

of the offense rate." (Osgood and Chambers 2000, p. 103)"

Therefore, I see abortion as a hard personal choice that should be left to the person that will have to give birth to a child.

Answer 3

uhm do furry ones with tails that go meow count?

Answer 4

I'm against all kinds of crimes, does that mean i should send every check i get to the prison system, or become a volunteer guard at one?

Usualy Pro-lifers show there stripes by not getting abortions

Answer 5

One would have to assume they've got a house full of adopted and foster children as well as donate any surplus cash and volunteer any free time to the orphanages and day care centers.

Anything less would be hypocritical right ?

Answer 6

Yet another pro-choicer who thinks she can go slutting around and everyone else should have to pay for her mistake. How about this... Keep your legs closed. There! Problem fixed! I don't mean to sound insensitive but women have been giving birth to babies that have been a product of rape since the beginning of time. As much as that sucks, in order to abolish abortions, that would have to be the case once again. Babies raising babies? Well if their parents raised them in the first place more of them wouldn't be in that situation to Begin with, but since the rise of the "absentee" parent, teen pregnancy has gone up. I personally think that the grandparent should take on half of the responsibility of raising that child, I guess they should have been more aware of what their kid was doing. But this is the thing. The majority of abortions are done because some chic forgot to take her pill, or some guy forgot to use a condom. So you can shove "rape" in our faces, but truth is, compared to the amount of abortions done because Suzie couldn't keep her legs crossed FAR out weigh abortions done in the case of rape or incest. So you think you should just be-able to kill babies because you had one too many to drink? Good luck at those pearly gates...

Answer 7

GREAT QUESTION!!!!

being a victim of rape and having a child from it gives a whole different perspective on "who's rights are really being looked at" (BTW, I was only 13)

I've always believed that if Pro-Lifers were to spend 1/3 of their energy on the "unwanted" children already born and not on the ones not here yet, we may not have as many problems we do now.

Answer 8

I favour females suffering the consequences of their behaviour. Dont get blind drunk at a party around people you barely know and you wont wake up pregnant with no clue who the baby daddy is.

Yes at first it will be tough, poverty stricken women which cant properly provide for their babies, but they will set an example other womend do NOT want to follow and if they mess up, tough luck welcome to misery lane.

Wellfare is just as bad as abortion because in the end it is both the same relieving people of the consequences of their bad choices.

Answer 9

I favor life.  Most abortions are used as a birth control method.  I am a pro believer in obeying God.  It is sad that so many children are not loved and do not have homes as a result of their parent's disobedience to the ways that God has provided for our protection because He loves us.

P.S.  Part of the money given at churches is to support orphans and to help those in need.  Do you tithe?

Answer 10

I am SO excited to adopt. I'm still in school right now and up to my ears in school debt, but my boyfriend and I agree that a few years down the road adoption is going to be an option that we're going to pursue!

I want to adopt older kids- there is HIGH demand for infants, and long long long wait lists, and I think that the older kids (4,5, 6 and up) need homes and I want to adopt at these older ages.
