Last time I checked foster care was voluntary not compulsory on the part of the foster parents -- do the administrators and/or foster parents receive a lot of tax dollars?

If they receive assistance or tax breaks for taking a child into their home I am not against that, but I believe it could be better provided for privately -- I don't see the need for a lot of administration ...

I stand by what I said -- very few of the abortions fall into the category you mentioned -- on a percentage basis, but even the retarded and mentally ill know how to love -- your argument comes down to one of eliminating human beings because it is not 'convenient' to have them around ...

Just because someone doesn't provide what is needed for a child, doesn't mean that they cannot. Some have joked with me saying my son is deprived because we don't have a TV or playstation -- but some folks really think this way -- if a child can't live with certain amenities ...

But what does a child really need? Love, nutritional meals, a place to stay that is safe, someone to teach them what is good (and I don't mean Hillary's village, either) ... many children who are poor have these things. Some who are in wealthy families do not ... but most would rather have the opportunity to live, rather than not.

Why should you or someone in the government decide and promulgate the idea that an existence which is better than can be had in any third-world country is not worth it for the child ... pro-choice is a euphimism for pro-abortion, radically against children
