Abortion shouldn’t be “birth control”, but ALL other forms should be legal and used! Adoption sounds great, but is very difficult and expensive in the U.S., which results in unadopted AMERICAN kids, while folks go overeas to adopt in Asia and Africa- that’s just stupid!
WHICH: A couple I knew some years ago, some of my best friends, fostered a young girl when her mother died of an OD, in jail no less. They were about to get a completed adoption of the llitte girl when the long lost “grandmother” came out of the woodwork and social services gave the chld to her. She was also a drug addict who’d taken the mother, her daughter, into the drug scene. Three weeks after this paragon of parenthood got the child back, her “boyfriend” murdered the little girl, three years old, raping her and then beating her to death, while “grandma” looked on and did nada to protect her.My friends later divorced because he still wanted to try adoption, but she couldn’t bear the pain of trying again. The system still hasn’t changed much.
While the Pope has noted humans shouldn’t breed like rabbits, the church still doesn’t support birth control except through accepted means, meaning “rythym” method, which is the very definition of “parenthood”.
Which, my daughter and her husband had given up on tryng to have a child, thought about adoption, but in October announced she was PG, and due three weeks before their 20th wedding anniversary!! Surprise!!! They’re dellighted, but my response was the same as many of our friends, maybe we should have sent them a book on how it’s done, a long time ago!!??
Another note on choice: We had a daughter, a son, and a vasectomy. Economics and other personal choices entered in We love our children, and they turned out be be excellent, yet very different, adults. Part of that postitive rearing in families IS related to the size of those families.
Rabbits it should be remembered abandon their children as soon as they’re weaned. If food sources aren’t up to snuff, the rabbit will actually resorbe those fetuses that won’t survive(think anencephally). Unwanted, severly damaged genetically or in utero, or just unaffordable, human children are lucky sometimes to just be abandoned, or never born.
