Quoting Taylor's Mommy 725: Clearly. The OP has already been made, complete with stories to raise awareness. Now, 5 days into the ... [snip!] ... reported. You could pull up 100,000 stories like this and there will be 100,001 adoption success stories to contradict them.
How, exactly, does an adoption success story "contradict" bad parenting, I wonder?

Quoting Taylor's Mommy 725: And where does abortion fit in with this ideal life?
It doesn't need to--the point is being better off not born.

Quoting Noah's Incubator 33 wks: i do agree that foster homes ca suck, but are they really better off dead??? i doubt it. just my personal opinion
My sister's good friend thought so. He was so fucked up due to an abusive foster Dad that he commited suicide at 18.

i think it would have been better for the children to have been aborted. Had that been the case, however, the parents would still be out in society. Thats a scary thought. I do not normally condone abortion but think about the childrens lives had they not actually died. I mean they could have endured abuse for years to only turn out exactly like their parents and continuing the dysfunctional cycle if they survived. Abortion would have been more humane than suffering miserably.

Quoting they are my life[ OND 08]: Ok, not to mention the little girl that was abused by her mom, dad and uncle. That little girl should ... [snip!] ... who was suppose to protect her. At least she would have grown her wings in less pain than what she ended up growing them in.
Yes she would have been better off in heaven. I just don't understand why keep the baby if you are gonna do that, why not leave them in the hospital and disapear?

Quoting TypoDemon: ParentsBehavingBadly.com is probably the main reason why I'm pro-choice and believe abortion should remain legal.Yeah but it is legal and yet they still had the baby and they still abused it so what does it matter if it is or not? People are still sick!
