Why don't pro-life groups do this?

[Al B. Sure!]

Why don't pro-life groups pay for pre-natal care, medical expenses, and lost income for a woman who would've otherwise aborted her child and then put that baby up for adoption?

I mean if someone's too poor to have a child, such a system would take away the economic arguement of abortion... and i'm sure considering how determined some pro-life groups are, they'd be willing to put up money towards saving children.


thanks

They do. It's called Medical Assistance, or Medicaid.

what if youre athiest mad monk? do they point to the door or the cross?

[Al B. Sure!]

MRT:

of course not... what is this attitude that christian groups are hateful of everyone?

[MRT144]

its been my experience that the fundie evangelical christians of america are out to convert or pass judgement on the way other people live. Im christian myself but i accept that we are all gods children, whether black white asian latino or middle eastern, gay straight or bi, male and female, christian muslim jewish budhist hindu athiest etc etc.

the fact is though a lot of christian organizations dont look kindly on outsiders. not all christian groups are, its mostly the ones that are overly zealous in their beliefs.

[Demerzel]

that's what I was wondering, is the counseling & guidance free from all religious aspects or not?

[Gibsie]

I've seen one similar house in the UK. It's clear that if the more pro-lifers spent more time helping those who are in trouble with pregnancy than condemning them the abortion rate would be a lot lower.

[Elok]

Well, there's the Gabriel project run by the Catholics as well. I don't know how much they do, but such groups do exist.

[The Mad Monk]

Spiritual guidance is there if you want it, but it's not forced, at least not in those homes that I know of.

The only christian groups I've seen like that have been characatures on TV. Most devout christians I know are like Ned Flanders, folks who would give the shirt off their back in a snow storm.

A sane, pragmatic approach to birth control/contraception wouldn't hurt either.

When I was small, my mum offered to adopt the unborn child of her friend, to stop her having a termination.

Some people will go to lengths to stop what they percieve to be murder.

Despite being a raving liberal, I've always been divided over the abortion issue.

My parish is involved in the Gabriel Project. Catholics are generally a lot less asinine than you seem to think MRT. A lot of the work is aiding non-Catholics, such as Mother Theresa's work in Calcutta.
