At first, they gave me the usual adoption and anonymous baby drop-off laws. <br /><br />Me: Would you agree that children in the Child Welfare systems tend to have more psychological problems and more difficulties in life?<br /><br />Them: Yes<br /><br />Me: and that many of the convicted criminals in our prisons came from dysfunctional families or group home type environment?<br /><br />Them: Yes<br /><br />Me: Then why would you recommend putting more children into that system? Sounds like bringing the child into this world just so they can suffer a life where nobody cares.<br /><br />Them: .........................um, uh....abortions kill babiesAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15749901210520157882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6474809311354370416.post-86446282126365022452012-10-11T11:54:18.504-04:002012-10-11T11:54:18.504-04:00While I do not disagree generally, I would like to...While I do not disagree generally, I would like to note that it is very likely that sex for pleasure is "nature's" way of ensuring that one continues to propagate to fulfill what appears to be life's number one goal; to provide an ongoing existence for itself. <br /> Also, speaking of an accurate reflection and in the interest of eliminating complexities or hypocrisies, perhaps we should not rest an argument in favor of abortion on only extreme cases of rape. If it is murder, it always is and we should either embrace it for every case or none at all. By mentioning this, I m not attempting to moralize. As I implied, I don't view abortion as unacceptable. However it would not hurt to remove the distractions and be honest in the conversation.<br /> There are most definitely too many unwanted children as it is, and our world is vastly over-populated. Have you noticed that frequently the same people that are pro-life have little interest in investing in that life once it is out of the womb. <br /> Abortion as a topic in politics seems to be about votes, like so many others...How disingenuous. If people were having the conversation in the rational manner that you have employed here, perhaps it would seem real.<br />PS: I hope that this did not come off as adversarial. I simply take great pleasure in conversation and thought streams.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09566429474454817063noreply@blogger.com
