- Indeed, I have provided a home for one such child - my oldest son is adopted
- and we would have adopted more had abortion not come along and made it
- difficult to do so. We did discuss going off-shore to find a child but
- decided to keep it as is given the problems inherent in doing so. There are
- families without children who would galdly give homes to these children.
- What are we doing - cutting off future potential contributions to society
- including our future CPP and Old Age Pensions for these children would have
- contributed to those when we are ready to retire.
-
- Note, I did not say that I did not want my tax dollars to go to abortion - I
- asked about the one who declines on moral/religious grounds and it seems to
- me they have that right even if there are people like you who would deny
- them that right.
