I would support either of my daughters babies- because they ARE my daughters, and I love them and would love their children. It's a purely selfish decision. I don't really want to support anyone else's child. I like kids. I enjoy working with them- but I don't want to give someone else's child a home. It's too much for me to give. I know how much my own children have taken out of me. It is because raising children is so difficult that I would never like to see the state mandate anyone have a child. But I would also never want to live in a country that FORCED people to have abortions either. Since aid is given for each child born (although that's capped in many states now) I wonder why you think the State is skewed toward abortion? Seems to me for a long time we actually were skewed toward births.

You don't SOUND like you support the right of women to choose- but I am glad you do. So you are primarily concerned about forced abortion? Which, as you know, doesn't occur here. .................... Opponents of the death penalty claim it is better to not kill any killers than to take a chance on putting an innocent person to death, yet in the same breath a lot of them propose killing the non-perfect human fetus, or any fetus for that matter. Why is it they won't give the same consideration to the unborn? Shouldn't they get a chance too? Some of these same individuals propose killing the unborn because of constrictions a child would have on the mothers lifestyle......an inconvenience. A caring society cares for its' ill. Somehow perception of society has been changed....a lot of people now think that the only thing of importance is for some govt employee to be throwing money at perceived problems and social ills while some beaurocrat is getting their picture taken. Is it OK, in your view, for the fetus in the Asian culture to be aborted because it is female? A simple question that needs a one word answer.
