A comment made by Gideon MacLeish about the abuses of CPS and then Baker made a statement about child brokering caused me to think.
Now for those looking for facts and links, I will state there are none, just my opinion, But one born of many years of observation and deductive reasoning. Neither of which is empirical.
But perhaps the zealousness of the CPS now is due to the very fact that adopting a child is so difficult as there are none to be adopted (actually very few) due to abortion.
Abortion is legal up to and including the birth (PBA), and hence it is a conveneince in too many cases, not a necessity (regardless of the literature - and that is documentable). But it means that Sally sue, decides she is mad at billy bob, and so she kills his child. Instead of allwowing it to be adopted by an infertile couple desperately wanting a child.
So what to do? CPS! Slip a bribe to one of their henchpersons and viola! A child that is abused! (They let it cry for 15 minutes before feeding it - doubt that? Check out Gids links).
So what has this 'abortion at any cost' mentality has now created a quasi black market in loved children. No, NARAL is not behind this. Any born baby is an anenthema to them. No this is a consequence of people of good conscious, deciding that to restrict abortion for any reason is an assault on their rights.
And that is what is so sad. For while most of the 'abortions at any cost' crowd will rail and decry this black market baby market, their reluctance to take a stand and say waht is acceptable and not is contributing to this crises.
While I am sure many can poo poo this opinion of mine, NONE can refute it with facts. Why? for the same reason I cannot prove it. It is shrowded in secrecy and deception. And broken hearts and lives.
You say that Abortion is the right of the mother, up to and including birth (and yes some even say post partum). Yet you do nothing for the rights of the parents that have done nothing wrong except to 'blow bubbles' on their childs stomach.
How does that make you feel? Trudy had an article about why humans do good. I stated, and maintained it is because of the good feeling we get. it is a narcotic.
So for all you pro choice people, read and think of this and decided how this whole sitauation makes you feel good. I know there are deviants of the real human life that get a feel good from doing evil. I would hope that it is not 50% of the population. And in my opinion, I dont think it is.
You just have not thought this through. There is no reason to abort a viable baby. The health of the mother is never in question at that point. The intelligence and life of the baby is. And there are a lot of very desperate people willing to pay big bucks to get them, even going so far as to snatch a baby from a loving household for their own reasons.
I dont fault them as much as I do the kill the 'fetus'that has not been birthed crowd.
