> I have only one thing to say. What do you propose to do with babies who are unwanted, and will not or cannot be taken care of?

Which babies are unwanted? I read of millions of families wanting to adopt but we are killing them so they can't adopt. The Pro-choice side is simple, "kill the unwanted ones." That type of logic is spooky. What about all the unwanted people walking around on planet earth? That is the next step! Answer: "Kill them!" Besides at one moment the woman who is pregnant wants her baby and the next moment she might not. Pregnancy plays on her mind a lot and one day she is up and the next day she might be down.

> Since you say that abortion is wrong (and I do not say it is right), what do you propose to do with all of these newborn children? Do we force the mothers to take them home where they will not receive the proper care? Or do we send them into an already overcrowded child welfare system and hope that maybe someday they will be adopted?

Your logic is poorly done. As I said in the above there are millions of families that want babies but will never get them, we are killing them not counting what it does to a lot of the women, some are dead, some have mental, emotional problems, some have physical problems and they can never have another baby, even if they wanted one, etc.

> How many black and hispanic children have you adopted?

I would think that you are or were really heavily involved in Planned Parenthood, that is the reason that they got into abortion in the first place to kill off the "unwanted" children of the "inferior" races such as the blacks, hispanics! You have a super prejudice mindset friend and super poor logic here too. There are many that want black and hispanic babies too! I like what one Christian brother said who is a scientist, "There is only one race in reality, the human race. Some have more pigment than others."

> How about other members of your church?

This is another one of Planned Parenthood lies! It is not any more a religious issue than a social, biological, humanitarian, caring, thinking, issue. If we kill for this social reason then there isn't anything to stop us from killing for other social reasons such as old age, sickness, etc. We are getting into that now and it will increase. It is gettting like it was in Hitler's day, no one was really safe from whatever they wanted to call "good enough" to live.

> Those children are the most prevalent in the adoption system, but very few of them are actually adopted as most people who can afford the expense of adoption are looking for white infants.

I agree that they make adoption hard at times but at other times it is super easy. It is according to the agenda that the government wants to push. I am sure that a homosexual, one into perverted sex can adopt easier in many places that a normal hetrosexual couple which is sad but as I said before "abortion, murder" is never the solution to a social problem.

> That leaves many children to be raised in orphanages or in foster homes where they will never know what it is to truly be a part of a family, until they reach the age of eighteen when they are considered to be adults and are sent out into the world to fend for themselves.

There are many people who have come out of foster homes and orphanges who have played an important part to society or they lived happy useful lives but there are very few, almost none who have lived through an abortion to play any part in this life. Some have survived abortion but very few. Like the so-called doctor who pulled one arm off of the baby in the woman's womb and saw how tough it was going to be so he wanted more money and they didn't have it so he quit doing the abortion, the girl was born a few weeks later with one arm. I saw a picture of her at approx. 2 years old. She is very pretty little girl but with only one arm. The "doctor" went to jail for it. They called it a "botched abortion". If he didn't get greedier then he could have just finished the baby off and he would have been fine.

> So while I agree that abortion is not a good thing, I will fight for the right for a woman to choose.

Choose what? Define your terms! You mean choose to "kill" the baby if she doesn't want it. You are a super greedy, evil person and you want everyone to think from your lopsided view of life or is it death.

> Instead of abortion, we need to teach sex education so that there will be no need for abortions. ONLY by teaching people how to prevent becoming pregnant or getting a woman pregnant, will abortions stop. And at the same time, we will save people from contracting the various diseases that kill.

It is super simple for a woman not to become pregnant, don't mess around with a man until it is her husband and then be thankful for the children that she has, there are many who would love to be in her shoes. But then you have places like Planned Parenthood who tells you to use condoms or take the pill and you are safe or at least safer. What a joke. Abstintence is the way that is sure. When you are married, then hope for a family, don't deny another generation from coming to be. We lived by God's rules on sex for years and this country prospered but look at us now, we are going back into the Dark Ages. And as far as the diseases go, the sure way is not to mess around until you are married and then if you want to mess around make sure that it is with your wife. Sexual diseases normally don't "mess" around with people that don't "mess" around with others.

Final thought: He must have known that I was going to write him back, it was set so my mail would return to me. Oh well! The only thing that I know to do is put it on my Web Page hoping that he will check back. Hope to include more later when I get some statistics.
