Lizzie, what "system" are you a product of - homes for unwed mothers? If not, then, what the hell are you talking about? Whatever it is, why and how are you denouncing it? Why should your rejection of said system mean anything to me? Esp. since you haven't bothered to explain yourself. I don't know you. Although I generally wish you (and everyone else) good fortune, I am not personally moved by your thoughts, actions or circumstances. While I am a male, how does that dictate that I am not to be concerned about my opinions re. the abortion issue - or, make your opinions more valid or weightier than mine. Lizzie, it is my belief that abortion is a murderous act and gender doesn't have jack to do with it. I will add that like some other kinds of killing (self-defense, justifiable homicide, warfare, legal execution, law enforcement), abortion is sometimes justified. Hey, if carrying a child gives you the right to murder it, then, if I am the sole provider for my family, should I be allowed to abuse it as suits my convenience? In fact, if I am the father of an unborn child, do I have the same right to kill it as the mother (assuming no consequence to the mother's physical health)? Your last sentence makes absolutely NO sense unless YOU have actually adopted a down syndrome child, or supported your daughter in a decision to give birth and give the child up for adoption (or personally given birth involving those circumstances). If you have, you have my great admiration. The snack was delicious.
