If someone kills someone, we won't demand he repent for his sins like the bible (I'm throwing out the bible because that's usually the basis for our morals in society) would have us do, we kill him. How much of the tax-payers money do we spend on orphanages? Is it justified to have EVERYONE pay? How many more people could we save if we didn't pay for oprhanages in hospitals? Just some thoughts. I'm feeling pretty indecisive myself.
Do you have any idea how hard it is--how much it costs, how long the wait is--for adoption in America? How many YEARS, how many THOUSANDS of dollars that hopeful parents have to pay, just to have a child of their own? Parents that may not be able to have children of their own, but are ready for them, as opposed to parents that are too irresponsible to not have children and are not ready for them yet? I believe there are something like four times the number of parents on the waiting list for an adoption than there are abortions in America every year, but I could be wrong about that.

Shortening the life of a murderer is wrong, but taking a life shortly after it starts is "a-okay"? By the way, a lot of people--myself included--wouldn't have a problem with abandoning capital punishment if our prison systems weren't a joke, but that's an entirely different subject. And most orphanages are privately funded--charity and all. But even if they were government-funded, why would it be wrong for taxpayers to spend money on orphanages, but our obligation to pay for food and health care for every irresponsible citizen?

One other thing I noticed, that goes along with all the "animal rights" nuts--why is it that raising an animal to be killed for food is immoral, but killing a baby is a matter of convenience?
