Reply #149: let's talk about people who don't take care of their children, shall we? [View All]

i knew a woman in college who had at least five abortions before she finally had a son. she was (and probably still is) addicted to crack, and her son spent a good portion of his young life in foster care. and let's not pretend there are enough people out there willing to adopt less-than-perfect children, or older children, or children with physical, emotional, or mental issues...let's not pretend about that the way the anti-choice folks do.
and let's talk about the men who father children they can't be bothered with raising...mostly drug addicted too, btw. and let's talk about how THAT phenonmen still really isn't that frowned upon...
if you know you are irresponsible, abortion may actually be a better option, especially if you are using drugs that may harm the fetus.
