I don’t have the answer but I can tell you when I considered adoption I was told straight up I had limited options because my child was black and I had previously given birth to twins with autism. They sent me a packet with 3 families in it. My friend who was white and having a white baby (a boy when that was known bonus) she couldn’t beat the families off her that wanted to adopt her child. That is reality. So bravo to you and your friends but ya’ll are the exception not the rule.

oh Cathi who told you black people are amoral? First of all most women receiving abortions are GROWN WOMEN in their 20′s not teens for you to say they shouldn’t have sex is insulting at best. These decisions need to be left to a women, her doctor and HER GOD not yours or your morality.

you could donate to the Jackson Women’s Health Organization they frequently have women who need help accessing procedures because of lack of funds. They are also in the middle of a legal fight with the state to stay open. You can google them to find their contact info.

You’d better get out there and start practicing some of that self-control then, Michael. If abortion is so horrid to you I’d recommend not having any sex with women. Practice what you preach.

Yes. I’d add that being poor is enough of an insult in an affluent nation without the compound insult of being told you don’t deserve sex if you want it, as well.

Which is why the stance of the “religious” right is so intolerable. Indeoendence of body and personal liberty only apply to men in their worldview. Women control their fertility through education and access to birth control and —the economic opportunity that is allowed through family planning ? No, tja would undermine their conception of inequality between men and women.
Better always to be barefoot and pregnant and sexless.
