What Do You Think of These Passages?
Question by : What do you think of these passages?
My husband and I were cleaning our house today and i found one of the booklets that i got um, I think this one is from the Pregnancy Crisis Center. Its about adoption and doing the best things for your baby. I’d thought I share a few passages from it and pick your brain.
Q 1: “If I keep my baby maybe my baby’s father will… (marry me, stay with me, come back) Sorry but babies rarely have that effect on guys…especially guys who have sex with you before saying “I do.” Statistically, you’re much more likely to meet and marry Mr. Right later on if you release your baby to a loving adoptive parents than you are if you choose single motherhood.”
Q 2: “Ultimately, You are the mother of this baby and it is you – Not your parents, friends, or the baby’s FATHER – who should make the final decision.”
Q 3: ” Adoption saves your child from the all too frequent damage that comes from being raised in a fatherless home.” On a side bar it says “Children in families without fathers are five times more likely to grow up in poverty, four times more likely to commit suicide, two to three times more likely to abuse drugs. 70 %of long term inmates grew up fatherless and girls without a father in the home are more likely to get pregnant before marriage.”
Q 4: “The realities of single motherhood mean that your opportunities for dating, marriage, higher education, good jobs, and a comfortable standard of living may be severely limited.”
Q 5: ” One of the biggest lies ever is that abortion is an “easy solution.” Its anything but easy for your baby and you WILL suffer emotional consequences.”
Q 6 : ” Now, with the prevalence of open adoption, you not only choose your baby’s adoptive parents, you can get to know them and stay informed about where and how your baby is. Depending on the specific arrangement that you and the adoptive parents agree to, you can have varying degrees of news and contacts as your baby grows up.”
*note that it says nothing about it not being legally enforcable in any state.*
This just names a few that really stuck out to me. Remember they are handing this crap out to women who are going there looking for help and advise. Women who are experiences the troubles of an unplanned pregnancy and who are very hormonal.
