    LOL! You are the one who said adoption is too cost-prohibitive for most Americans to help prevent abortions!

    I don't give a crap about your views on abortion. I am in awe that you'd allow kids to die because their parents made poor choices. "Can't feed em don't breed em?"??? And that somehow justifies passive murder? WTF-ever.

    When given the choice between big business and big government, choose big business. Big business never threw millions of people into gas chambers, but big government did.

    I did?

    I likely said it costs alot to adopt a child. But I don't think it costs a dime to give a child up for adoption. There are plenty of orgs out there to help women who want to give the child up for adoption. In some cases, the parents getting the child will even pay for the prenatal care, hospital costs, etc.

    "Passive murder" is something I'd expect Karl Marx to utter, Not you.

    There are many things I want but do not have because of money. Why should kids be exempt from this type of responsible thinking?

    So "passive murder" is bad, but sucking a child out of a womb is ok? Is that what you are saying?

    I'm sure a poor minority living in poverty in the city has people lining up to take her child.

    Oh, and fyi... apparently adoption is difficult and expensive. Have a coworker trying to do it. And he has the highest security clearance you can get.

    It's almost unreal how hard it is becoming to eat healthy in today's society.

    A few years back when my wife went back to school we did an experiment for her sociology class. We went to the grocery store and got one weeks worth of good healthy food, and then went back and got another week of crap (chips, soda, processed meals) and guess what? It was almost 4x more expensive to eat healthly than eat like crap. We then did it at restaraunts, came up the same 4x more to eat at a nice healthier restaunt than at fast food.

    We then went from an upper-middle class neighborhood to see how far it was to drive to a healhty food store, and a healthier restaraunt. And then did the same in a poor area. Once again it was over double the drive time from a poor area to get to a decent place to shop or eat.

    So if you're on a budget, and don't have a good income, trying to feed a family you really no longer have a choice, because all you can afford is crappy fattening food.

    I concluded that based on your stance on sex education.

    There are more parents wanting to adopt than there are kids to be adopted. Why do you think some people are going to other countries to adopt kids?

    Beaurocracy moves slow. It sucks. And soon we will get to wait for healthcare too!

    You were wrong, but I can see how you drew that conclusion. I'm all for sex ed, I just think it's the parents job, not the Government's job.

    This is why they need to be taking poor kids on field trips to the farms and orchards, greening the inner city, and showing the parents how to hunt.
