The Insanity of Economy

The economy has become such a burden to the human condition that women are giving up their babies in order to provide for their older children.
American women.
You’re not removed from this – the third-world practices of “lesser” cultures have surfaced in the Land of Opportunity. It’s here, and it’s now, on our home turf.
A recent Chicago Tribune article highlighted the disastrous results of our atrocious economy and the poor decision-making of our lawmakers (http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/lifestyle/health/chi-women-health-economy-10-mar10,0,1083254.story). They include:
- A couple forced to abort their third pregnancy because they could not afford another child – and the husband is stationed on a military base!
- Planned Parenthood announced a record number of abortions
- The Cradle reported an increase in adoption calls
- The number of pregnant women seeking financial assistance has doubled
As one respondent put it, parents can’t even support themselves, let alone a baby. While our politicians enjoy lavish birthday parties (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/03/09/politics/washingtonpost/main4853643.shtml), go on spa retreats (http://www.nbc4i.com/cmh/news/national/national_govtpolitics/article/are_your_taxes_paying_for_democratic_retreat/12543/), and trips around the world (http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/politics/elections/sfl-flgoplondon21sbdec21,0,7883162.story), Americans are struggling to do the single most vital thing to everyone’s existence: give life.
Pro-Choice versus Pro-Life has nothing to do with this. It’s one thing to force a person to give life; quite another to force a person to destroy the life of their child.
Women MUST have access to affordable, quality prenatal care. Children MUST have access to proper health care. The government can no longer ignore the insane disregard for human life.
They take away our homes. They take away our jobs. Now, they’re taking away our babies.
Don’t let this happen to you. If you’re pregnant and fear you can’t afford it, contact MaternityHealth.org for information on how you CAN receive affordable prenatal care and delivery, and even find help with your childcare expenses once your baby is born.
The gift of life is too precious to be destroyed by the economy. Don’t be a victim of others’ poor judgment – make a stand for
