Dear Claire,
If it were at all possible for you to think logically, you would realize
that in both cases you are putting the burden on the innocent party. It is
not just waiting  the nine months, pregnancy is not comfortable. While it
can be a joy if the mother is going to keep the baby, how do you think
women feel when they give the baby up for adoption or to an institution. As
far as a retarded or handicapped child goes, how much more do you think it
coasts to raise this child than a normal child? And lastly, why doesn't
your God Damned Church put something in the kitty with their big tax breaks
if they don't want these children aborted?
