Adoptions is an option, but it is neither quick nor cheap. My husband and I have been trying to adopt for almost 10 months now and we have no end in sight. We are trying for a non-drug-use baby and that’s our only restriction. If an ounce of effort would be put in to refining adoption laws, domestic adoption reform and erasing the stigma of “giving up a child” then we’d have some ground covered with ending abortion. Personally, one of my friends has adopted from Dr. Tiller’s clinic and I’m hopeful that networking with his clinic, local churches, physicians and family friends will find us a child. Please think about my email the next time you have an opportunity to talk to a birthparent who is making a choice about their baby’s future. Adoption is long, difficult and very much still a negative stigma in America. There are thousands of adoptive parents in waiting but it’s not a flip answer to throw out in the heat of anger at a protest.

“Whoever is without sin, let him cast the first stone”
How easy it is to say, “Just have the baby” People must learn that 78% of women who have abortions, have a religious affiliation.

“Love them both” is one of the models from the United Methodist Church.”

I am a post abortive woman, who now works in ministry with post abortive women and men.

If someone would have stood outside the clinic and shouted, “We love you, we can help you now” It might have made a difference.

Education is the key. Tell Men and Women about the horrible effects of abortion everywhere you can. OUR CHURCHES do not talk about this much. We need for every church in American to have advocates talking WITH LOVE AND MERCY about abortion.

Beverly -

I don’t know where you live, but I worked for a child welfare agency in New York. It is FREE to adopt a child out of foster care there. There is a required (free) homestudy, (free) background check, and (free) interviews, and they do check your financial situation to make sure you can afford one more child, but there are NO fees attached to the adoption itself.

The ‘catch’ is that most of the kids in the NYC foster care system are not white. But there is no shortage and there are no fees, and there are in fact many, many kids who are never adopted into permanent, loving homes because they are the “wrong” race.

There are a lot of unwanted kids without homes out there. Saying or implying that there will be someone out there willing and able to take care of all them of is just not true.

I would take the ‘adopt not abort’ message a lot more seriously if every pro-lifer who was able would go out and adopt a child from foster care.

Hello. This is Ashley, again. I decided to look up this website since I have not been on here for awhile. The posts that I posted were from way back when I was still in high school. Wow, was that forever ago. Well…seems like that, anyway. =)

This makes me so sad inside. I am a mother of one beautiful daughter. However, I can no longer have anymore children due to a health scare. My husband and I would give just about anything to have another child. Our financial situation does not allow for us to adopt…the fees and such are just outrageous and we simply cannot afford it. However, there are sooo many people who could. To all of you who are thinking of abortion…PLEASE I BEG YOU…don’t do it. There is a loving family for your baby out there. There is no shame in loving that life growing in your belly no matter the situation and there is no shame in loving that baby enough to realize maybe you can’t provide for he or she but somebody else can. The best thing you can do for your baby is give it LIFE!! *big hugs* to all of you!!

I want to remind people what life is. Life doesn’t just apply to what’s in a human’s stomach. It also applies to that which is alive already. If you can be on the front lines of a protest but are still contributing to a death toll, you will look like a hypocrite– and you will be one.

That’s why I would like you, if you are eating meat, to STOP. Personally, I am pro-life, but not just in the abortion stance. Anyone who eats meat is not “pro-life” as they claim to be. Their actions don’t match their chants. Because the meat question is fair game, and you may embarrass yourself at a very important time. And if you do, I will be shaking my head in disappointment, because you have screwed the whole cause over.

(This message is not endorsed by the website I have included– I have merely made it available so you know that there is a group for people who are TRULY pro-life)

I work to reduce the number of elective abortions in Texas. Elective abortion is a function of unintended pregnancy. This is a fact. So, if we can reduce the number of unintended pregnancies than we can reduce the number of elective abortions. This is a fact. Contraceptives are the only FDA approved method of preventing unintended pregnancy. I understand that the argument with this statement is that abstinence is the only thing 100% sure to prevent unintended pregnancy. But is the fight to reduce elective abortions or to reduce sexual relations? Think about this for a moment. Do you only have sex during the one week per month that you or your partner is fertile? To do so at any other time would be for recreation and not procreation. After menopause, will you and your partner cease having sex entirely? After menopause sex would only be for recreation.

If we want to reduce the number of elective abortions, we are going to have to provide our society with tools to prevent them, tools like age-appropriate comprehensive sexual education, family planning services and contraception. To do otherwise would be to invite disaster, and it’s here. We have the highest incidence of teenage pregnancy among all industrialized nations. Our American penchant for withholding information and basic healthcare services is spiting our youth.

I call no one retarded until after we’ve met. I don’t find that a convincing argument at all. It exhibits a lack of reasoning.

Abortion is wrong (and a sin). So is calling someone dumb. Please show your love for the lost for you were once dead in your sins too.

Not only do we need to stand against abortion, pray, and overturn Roe v. Wade; we need to provide alternative solutions to abortion.

Any AmEx card members, please go to the following URL:

and vote for this much needed solution. Search your heart, make the effort and cast your much needed vote.

Ashley, I first of all would like to suggest that you attend some sort of university or college to better your education so you can somehow communicate your opinion (both with better grammar and vocabulary and with less emotion and more reason).

If many of you would be able to better reason your opinion, not fluff it with of emotion (and poor grammar), maybe some sort of national legislation would go your way.

If we did not protect the rights of women to decide on how they would like to deal with their bodies, then our government would not be able to protect rights that you have.

We have a responsibility as citizens to uphold community values, that’s true, and you are all doing that. But the Supreme Court has the responsibility to uphold the constitutional rights of its citizens — and unfortunately for you, it does not include “saving babies.”
