Atheists on this list have complained about these babies using up our tax dollars. If they have the right to complain about these children, then why can't I complain about women who can't even consider giving up their baby for adoption to an infertile couple

> If a woman chooses to have a child and give it up for adoption that is fine, but you are talking about *forcing* women to have children.
DAVE G. Exactly our point. Women should have the *CHOICE* either keep the child, give it up for adoption OR chose abortion. To abort a deformed/retarded child IS a merciful act.
