If they really cared about the children who are part of our daily lives, this event would never happen. Amazing that anti-abortionists advocate murdering doctor's when at the same time they are against murdering children (their words not mind). Personally, I think pregnancy and childbirth is a personal decision that should be honored whether we believe in the decision or not. We do not have to "walk in their shoes" nor do we know the situation. Why are the anti-abortionists not figuring out how to care for the children that are born instead of not working on ways that care and adoption are readily available?
