What about adoption? Why didn’t you consider that as an alternative?One of the anti-choicers’ favorite arguments against abortion is that women who have abortions are depriving prospective adoptive parents. However, one only has to take a look at the literally hundreds of thousands of children in foster or state care to know that is not the case. Unfortunately for the great majority of these children, they will not be considered for adoption because they have committed a grave sin-they’re no longer babies. It is rare that you’ll hear a prospective adoptive parent sigh, “Oh, I just want a seven-year-old so much!” We have always had huge respect for people who adopt older or special needs kids. Contrary to popular belief, adopting kids from the state is not that expensive. Some states will bend over ( ... )

There's some particularly ludicrous billboards prevalent in the southern United States that make statements like "I would have cured cancer, but you aborted me," and INS gets posts in the guestbook with much the same sentiments. I propose in the interest of fairness that billboards be put up that state "I would have raped and murdered nineteen women, including your daughter, but you aborted me" or "I would have started World War III, but you aborted me". The potential for evil is just as strong as the potential for good. Osama bin Laden, Charles Manson and Adolf Hitler were once cute little babies too.
Well, if you didn’t want to get pregnant, you should have kept your legs closed! Why didn’t you just say no?Ah, now we’re getting to the real issue. Remember, it was only very recently that women have been “allowed” to enjoy sex, and a lot of people are ( ... )

Well, what if your mother had aborted you? How would you feel about that, huh?
It's a mystery to us why "pro-lifers" throw out this particular bit of nonsense on a regular basis. Again, how selfish is that--to believe that we're such special little snowflakes that the world would have come to a shuddering halt should we not have been born? What if our mothers had aborted us? We wouldn't have existed. So what? Things that don't exist have no opinions one way or another. To be blunt, it's a stupid and pointless argument and anyone who actually thinks that it's a good one deserves to be ridiculed.
So you just encourage women to sleep around and run down to the abortion clinic to rid themselves of the “inconvenience,” rather than taking responsibility for their actions, right?Wrong. We encourage people simply to think before having sex, because a lot of nasty complications, both physical and emotional, would be avoided. But accidents do happen, and mistakes are made. Having children should not be used as “punishment” for a birth ( ... )

I didn't see this addressed on I'm Not Sorry FAQ but someone, please someone needs to talk about how the Republicans are driving up abortions with their financial policies toward the bottom 99% along with the Republican opposition to basic affordable healthcare. Are these wingnuts able to connect the dots? It just pisses me off to no end.
