Projection Prevention offers to help UK drug addicts stop having kids - people freak out

[snowykitten]

I have always supported Project Prevention, a charity that pays drug addicts to get long-term birth control or sterilization in order to prevent more kids from being born as crack babies. They've been active in the USA for a while but recently they expanded into the UK as this news story discusses:

personal attacks are not cool no matter who we disagree with. i will not insult your intelligence by accusing you of not knowing this rule of the cf community.

I find your assumptions and the dismissive nature of your comments to be offensive as well. i have biological parent-addicts, too. i have disabilities from being born on drugs, including partial deafness and heart defects. this does not mean i am right. nor does it mean your opinion is the god-sent law of the land. we could get into a pissing contest over whose addiction was worse, or whose parents loved them less, or who had less money, but frankly - irrelevant. the fact remains that the project is a public service which addicts and non addicts alike are free to take advantage of and promote, protest or ignore.

getting a message from a "random LJ user" probably will not make you change the way you approach a situation, but i certainly hope sometime in the future you realize, dear friend of oh_annalouise, that trolling is an art and you have mastered it. i'm glad you are passionate about your opinion; let me go on knowing the truth about my addicted family and praying that one of them soon takes advantage of this generous project's funds and opportunity.
