I’m the white mother of an adopted brown baby. And I guess I should be thankful that his birth mother lived in a country where for her abortion was not an option. I guess you should be thankful of the same thing since you have an Ethiopian black baby.
Though I oppose abortion, I have come to realize that our country will always offer that option as a woman’s “choice”. HOWEVER, that being said, how can anyone Christian, agnostic, atheist, devil-worshipper…..how can ANYONE possibly think that late term partial birth abortions are moral and acceptable??? To think that our new president “adamantly opposed the “infants born alive protection act” (unbelievable!) and has promised to pass the freedom of choice act, which will in an instant wipe out so many pro life laws on the books. He supports using our tax dollars to fund abortion both at home and abroad. He is not just pro-choice, he is an extremist” (to quote Renee) is deplorable. Sickening. Horrifying. Makes my skin crawl. Do you realize that these babies are viable until murdered? How is that morally more acceptable to you than soldiers willingly dying for their country?
He’s our new president. I’m not afraid. God is still God.

Thanks for sharing your views Believer. I, too, am against abortion. My question is this: What are you (and I) willing to do to bring abortions to an end? The President may have power to pass laws and rightfully so, but what we need is not legislation, but compassion, empowerment, and the provision of resources for true change to occur.
