Anti-abortionist, why haven't you adopted a child?

Question

If you believe pregnant mothers should put their children up for adoption rather than have an abortion, why haven't you adopted a child?

Or is it that, life is precious until you are born?

Answer 1

brilliant question if i could i would give you 10 points for asking the best question of the day.

Answer 2

A lot of people do adopt! My cousin and her husband adopted a 3 year old and the birthmom had more kids with different fathers. My cousin now has the other 2 as foster kids and is trying to adopt them too. Her sister has 3 kids of her own but also adopted another. The adoption procedure is not easy, so not everyone is allowed to adopt. You have to have a certain # of bedrooms, beds, etc. I have kids of my own, but who knows? I might still adopt another one.
Why do people just assume that if you are pro-life, you wouldn't adopt? I don't just assume that someone who is pro - abortion is a bad person. I do know this though: every woman I know who has had an abortion regrets it. (and yes, of course there a few that don't regret it, I just don't know any.) I really feel for women who have have had an abortion because I had a miscarriage and had to have a D & C and the procedure was so horrible with a dead baby, I can't even imagine going through the horror of it with a live one!

Answer 3

I'm anti-abortionist and I don't think a mother should put her child up for adoption unless she is still in highschool. And in that case, just because you believe something is wrong, such as having an abortion, does not mean that everyone against abortion should adopt a child, because some people, such as myself, are not ready to take on that responsibility, even though I am against abortion. I'm still in highschool and could not care for a child at this time, but that doesn't mean I should be all for abortion just because I can't adopt a child.

Answer 4

So let me get this straight, anyone who is for a child's American rights (the right to live) should adopt a child. Furthermore, anyone who supports our troops should become one. You people are sad, ones who think like you do.

I could say on the other hand that anyone who is concerned about global warming should not drive a car or use electricity. However, I happen to have a little common sense.

To all you pro-choice activists: Perhaps my thoughts should be that if I want to kill someone because they have caused me an inconvenience, I should be able to do so with no questions asked. But that is a ridiculous theory isn't it? It sure is...

Answer 5

because have not been called to be a parenet. but the wait for a baby in the adoption service is long time. they have many children that are in the adoption process which people do not want to adopte because the emotional baggage that go along with the children. people go outside the country to get babies from other countries then wait for a USA adoption.and yes we do care about children after they are born and there health. here are a few links

Answer 6

I believe that it is because pro-lifers don't care about the lives that the children will have when they are brought into this world. All that they care about is their own agendas. Take South Dakota for example. The legislators in South Dakota don't care if a 15 year old girl is raped by her grandfather and gets pregnant. So long as that mother is not endangered during a pregnancy, that child lives. They don't care if the mother has the financial capability to take care of that child. They don't care if she has any kind of support network to help her. They don't care if that child has access to education, medical care, food, clothing, housing, or even a chance at a life free of genetic deformities due to inbreeding. They simply don't care. I believe that this is true of a majority of pro-lifers. Now, all you exceptions, don't bother speaking up. I don't care. If you're an exception it only proves the rule. Pro-lifers, in general, are only out to protect their own interests. They don't care about the life that the child will lead. Who does a child call daddy? Who knows. Is that child teased at school because his grandpa is is daddy? Probably. Is that child going to grow up in poverty as most children of single parents do? Probably. Is that child going to be more likely to commit a crime? Probably. Is that child more likely to abuse drugs or alcohol? Probably. Is that child more likely to be a single parent? Probably. Is that child more likely to be a slower learner than peers with two parents who live together? Probably. Pro-lifers DON'T CARE about the children that these people will have. And to say that they should close their legs is absurd. I know more pro-lifers than I do pro-choicers, and almost all of those pro-lifers are engaging in premarital sex. The few that have had children suddenly became hypocrits, telling people that they should close their legs, when they themselves had no intentions of having a kid. Life just washed over them like a tsunamai and they let it take them whither it would go.

Answer 7

My mom is adopting children. Thank you very much. I hope you abort the next Bill Clinton. I really don't care, stupid people have stupider babies. So go ahead, abort all the babies you want. We don't want your seed plauging America's intellectuals. I hate going to school and learning Grammar and Spelling that I learned in the 6th grade or younger because idiots get online and type like a pile of crap. Please, make sure you abort children so they don't turn out like that.

Answer 8

I believe people should have a license to have children and fined if they have one with out passing a test. There are 6 billion of us on the planet, we need to be responsible, but not give people the easy way out (ie abortion).

So many wingnuts are having unwanted children. Time to introduce morals back into society!

Answer 9

My wife and I cannot have children. We weep that people kill the life in their wombs.

Because adoption has so many difficult legal requirements, and is economically cosyt prohibitive, we have not as of yet adopted. Once we can afford the process, we will adopt.

However, your arguement is irrelevant. If you believe that gasoline causes holes in the ozone, why do you still drive cars?

Answer 10

For all you know BB, they may have done just that. Do you know how much adoption costs? You're very cavalier about the subject of others' children and I'm not sure you have a clue as to how difficult it can be or how expensive.

Answer 11

I ask this question every time I go to Brazil, where are all those right to life folks, to help all the thousands of unwanted children wandering the streets looking for their next meal and sleeping in packs under cardboard for protection? One thing I do know is, most who are against abortion, support the death penalty! Is it that they will feel cheated from giving death to those who lives they saved at birth?
