I've read this thread all day (I'm at work and reading it in between customers) and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it. Catholic Lady I know you and I are very far off on views and I won't be changing mine but I must say you do bring up food for thought and I like how you have actually debated instead of argued it all. I understand your side, despite not siding with you, so I get WHY you feel the way you do.
Also thanks to some others I've learned a lot about how science has babies lol. I might hafta go into that myself seeing how conceiving naturally is not working. I go to the doctor in January for tests. We have already decided that if nothing works and we don't get to have our own kids then we will adopt. Hell we might still adopt if we get a biological child simply to try and give another child or two a good home. But there are so many out there that are sleeping on office floors, starving, being abused... that bringing another child into the world that their parents don't want seems more cruel than aborting it to me. They can't miss what they never had and that is one less suffering person in the world. I would prefer that we took care of the living ones that feel pain opposed to those that can't but probably will. Sure they might get lucky and get adopted in a good home but that could have been another, older child, that could have been taken from a horrible situation that wasn't because the good parents want a newborn.
