I don't think there were any cash-for-children social programs back then either. I have a couple of cousins in Milwaukee who receive nice checks each month for their children.
For what exactly??? Can you explain that one more??? Did they sell their children to someone who's making payments or something??? Are they parting them out like an old car??? I need more info just to begin to understand what you're talking about.
One of my adopted sons was #8 out of his mother's womb. She was a baby making machine. Lived comfortably, got the drugs she wanted, and never had to work.
One of your adopted sons??? How many kids have you spawned??? Was this woman your wife???

Actually, discussing adoption is right in line with anti-abortion ideology.

An answer to your second question: My wife and I were married for 18 years without producing children. (Was fun trying though!) We ultimately went to Chicago's Department of Children and Family Services, and adopted 2 babies whose Moms were not allowed to keep them.
I answered your questions, but will not hijack this thread further. It's disrespectful to the thread starter, and annoying to everyone else. I hate arriving at a thread and finding that some numb-nut has taken it off topic...don't you, mOjOm?

Personally I could never treat a living child as "potluck" to whoever is next in line for a baby.
I would choose to abort a lump of cells before taking a blind chance my living child would be loved and cared for.

True, what with the horror stories I've read about foster care and some adoptive parents. But for those women who are in a religious or moral battle, there is that hope that the child may successfully navigate the stormy seas.

Responsibility is doing the right thing and the right thing is always to protect and to serve life when you have the power to do so.
Says you. What about the Marine sniper in Afghanistan? What about the person sitting on a capital punishment jury, deciding the life or death of an alleged criminal?

My niece and her husband recently adopted a premie with many health issues, that child could not have gotten a better situation.

It's legal.
Doesn't square morally with you, does it?
Sniper target shouldn't have done something to get sniped, criminal shouldn't have done the crime if they can't do the time.
The unborn?
Spontaneous pregnancies should be legal to abort.

Now, you are making things up. If you knew about the laws of nature, you would know animals and plants cull their numbers when stressed for life sustaining food, shelter, water.
