she'd had multiple abortions


I'm the mother of 3 ... first was super unexpected and to not have that child NEVER EVER crossed my mind. NEVER. EVER.

HOW the HELL do women do this and continue on?? Do they have no soul??

My father was given up for adoption by a very young woman (who went on to have more kids later in life when she was prepared to raise them).

If abortions were legal back then, I could see choosing to end the pregnancy being a more desirable option to avoid the hardship of a teen pregnancy/parenthood. A real “could have been me” story. Or maybe “could have been no me”.

It saddens me to think how many souls like my father never even had the chance at life due to someone’s lack of love and choosing the easy way out.

babies being born.


I think about those babies and their babies and grand babies. All the people who didn’t get a chance to be born and have a life.

Actually don’t have to imagine how many aren’t around to share their story, there’s records that indicate the number is over 60 million.
In my opinion if it was 1, that’s too many but to think that our nation has willingly, gladly and unashamedly killed 60 million defenseless babies is sickening.

Were you an only child growing up or did they have other kids?



They had two biological sons, the youngest of which was 17 when I was adopted at 5.

I just showed this post to Janet Yellen and she looked at it with grave concern. How could you be so selfish so as to impede your mother's full participation in the labor market?

Good for you but you’re the outlier.

(Yes I know I don't anything about you, but we all know lefties can only imagine a white male can get ahead like this after having a rocky start)
