Let me first start off by saying “you tell’em!” On that note, I am sure you can tell that I obviously agree with Miss De Los Santos and Denying Women the right to live their own Life, their way. I too was shocked when I saw how far this bill had made its way through Congress, and the only reason I have not commented on it sooner is because I truly didn’t think it would make it that far. So, now all I feel I can do is jump on the “really?!” bus.
As most people, issues tend to bother me more when I have been affected by it in some way. One thing that I have unfortunately seen for years now is unwanted children. Not only have I gotten to truly see how many of them there are but also the effects caused by women trying to abort in a “do it yourself” manner with drugs and alcohol. I also have seen the effects that drugs and alcohol can cause when a baby survives through horrible odds. My aunt is a foster mom and has been one for the past 11 years. In those 11 years, she has housed, fed, and loved 72 of those “unwanted children,” and this does not include the numerous kids that were placed in her home on an emergency receipt basis.
Did you know that according to the census bureau there were roughly 463,000 Kids in Foster Care in 2008? So again, why would we want to pass a House Bill 15 that can ultimately only end up guilting a woman into keeping an unwanted child? As the numbers show we already have enough.
