I think you aren't looking at the lives some of these unwanted children live. Have you ever cared for a child brought in due to lack of care and lacerations and infected sores covering their body? Have you ever cared for a child that socially was retarded due to lack of nurturing? Have you ever cared for a child molested? Have you ever cared for a child starved out that then gorges themself scared of when the next meal will come? Have you ever cared for a child that was given drugs to sleep so it wouldn't be a bother and their little body will never grow in the way it should have? Have you ever cared for a child abused by the hand of the people that had reckless sex and in no way planned on being parents or had the capabilities? Some of these unwanted pregnancies get to live hell here on earth. Is that fair to innocent children?
Yes I have. I teach these children EVERYDAY. I see these children fight for life with every ounch of strength they have. I have seen these children go from causing trouble to working hard and enjoying school and having hope. They may not go far in life or they may go on to college and come back to help their community. What brings about the change? Someone took an interest in one child. It might not be much other than a hug everyday.
I will give you a bit of history of one child. Born to a mother who was a prostitute did drugs, not sure which kinds since she did whatever she could get her hands on. After he was born went from one family members home to home. Was starved, beaten, used as drug mule,taught to steal and made to go in stores and steal. Watched as mother was beaten to death and then saw Auntie shot in a drive by. Has been molested by who knows how many people. Has been a behavior problem all his school life. Is on the verge of being placed in a special school for behavior problems. This childs eyes were DEAD~All hope had been stripped from him. What put light back in his eyes? A man took enough time to send in a picture of a calf. NO it was NOT me it was one of yall. He asked me if there really was a man who owned this calf and did he really send it to me for him. He said no man has ever taken the time to do something for me. He has had women do all kinds of things for him but the fact it was a MAN.
DO you not see the real PROBLEM its not that abortion would have kept him from all that pain. It is we have allowed adults to act like children and forget their responsiblities. Too many depend on "the system" to come in and fix things and take care of thier life. Too many males are walking away from their children. We have taught these children the solution to any problem is to get rid of it. We have devalued life to where you have to debate when life begins in order for you to count.
Can any of you look in that childs eyes and say your life would have been better had your mother gotten an abortion?
If you think you can pull up the picture and try.
Legislation isn't the answer, education is.
