this is the kind of bullshit...
...that gives pro-lifers a bad name.
I am against abortion. I think it should be illegal except to save the life of the mother. I also support all sorts of social services for people with unplanned pregnancies, whether they choose to raise the child themselves or give it up for adoption.
The thing is, there are a LOT of unwed teenage mothers who considered abortion, were pressured to have an abortion by fathers/mothers/boyfriends, had their child anyway, and raised it successfully, despite the odds. Others had the child and gave it away for adoption. Few of them would say their lives were easy, but there are many women among BOTH of these groups that would absolutely encourage girls in their shoes to do the same and have the baby. What the folks who came up with this site needed to do was find them, have them tell their stories, HAVE THEM GIVE INFORMATION ABOUT HELPFUL PLACES TO GO, etc.
