A woman who is pregnant with that of an unwanted fetus see's only tragedy. It doesn't matter how the fetus came about, only that eveyday it becomes more of a reality and a threat.
It's so easy for people to say just have it. Are you going to buy (and these fall in no particular order), desitin, diapers, wipes, daycare, after school care, summercamp, cd's, dvd's, toys, books, sheets, blankies, pillows, food, formula, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, lotions, anti-biotics, vitamins, allergy meds, cough meds, coloring books, dolls, trucks, pants, skirts, shirts, shoes, dental visits, health insurance, a radio, television, sunny-d, milk, underwear, pull-ups, tutoring, backpacks, school clothes, school snacks, school lunches, play clothes, play sneakers, dress shoes, coats, sweaters, jackets, laundry soap, the rise of the electric bill, toothbrush, toothpaste, oragel, teething cookies, teething rings, walkers, climbers, swings, rollerblades, heelies, skateboards, surfboards, dance lessons, gynastics, soccer, uniforms for whatever sport, instruments according to whatever desire, V-Smile game and cartrides, i-pod, x-box, Wii, guitar, bedroom furniture, - I can go on, (as you can see) but I am over it. Most pro-lifers seem to forget that when a child pops out - all these things come due. And don't forget a child grows and will need new clothes twice yearly - winter and summer, and perhaps some items for fall, depending on where you live. While some items on my list are only afforded to the wealthy, most items will be needs - not wants. And if the mother can't pay - the tax payer does, and ususally the taxpayer doesn't begin to cover it.
Another question to you is this, what kind of mothers do you think these women will make if forced to give birth to a child they don't want? I think we can refer to women such as Andrea Yates, Patricia Blackmon, Debra Milke, and Susan Smith to name a few. I don't even have enought time to mention the countless others who torture, or allow their men to torture, their children.
So, other than bitching, what have you done to fix the problem?
