Point well taken point anti-abortionists...Now can we have a discussion about how many babies (after birth) that are left under-nourished, abused, and neglected? Are you going to take responsibility for providing each and every one these babies a caring and loving home? This is when the mother can't provide for them? No, don’t tell me let me guess, I am going to receive a big lecture about personal responsibility, no government safety net, and use of contraception - inconsistent argument here…
