- You're a truely cold hearted bastard aren't you?
- You're publically stating that you would not only force women to give
- birth to children they don't want, but you would also force peopel to
- give up children that they *do* want, simply because of their
- financial status?

- Adoption is ared herring. Uless the infant is Healthy, White, and Less
- then one year old when placed at the adoption agency, the odds of its
- ever leaving are vanishingly small.
