ill have to 100% disagree that adoption is in any way irresponsible or that it is in any way stupid. I think the post two above mine says why.cpt.fass1 wrote:
Because the child can't choose.. They say they don't get a say because they don't have a voice. And without a voice they can't be heard, and even if they had a voice they don't have a brain till a certain point so they couldn't even use it, not only that but it's not the instant it's born that it has rights it's after the 3rd month I belive.
Adoption sucks and it's a stupid choice that's way more irresponsable then an abortion.
as far as not having the choice and not having the capacity to say what you feel, that means nothing to a persons rights. Just because you can't communicate your choice doesn't mean you dont get one.
example: You cannot treat animals in most places inhumanely or neglect them. You WILL face some sort of punishment. The animal cannot tell someone how they wish to be treated, but they still have the right to be treated fairly. Many would argue that they dont have the brain capacity to even understand what being treated humanely is, but they still have that right. So, how come an unborn child doesn't have the right to be treated fairly and humanely? because they can't communicate it??? By your definition then, we should be able to kill our children up until the age of 1 or 2, when they can start to understand the issue. until then, fair game, right?
