What kills me the most about Big Girl's post is that she wants us to feel badly for someone who can't financially raise a child and worries that the child will starve to death, but doesn't give a second thought to its life being snuffed out by a scalpel. Hypocrite seems to be too nice of a word.
When my wife and I were younger, we lived paycheck to paycheck and worried about some bills getting paid. We raised two sons without them starving for one second. I look back and wonder how we did it, but IT CAN BE DONE!
