Abortion and adoption

We have reached a sad state in our nation when it costs more to save a human life than it does to kill it.

I have been researching adoption costs and fees, and the amount it takes to adopt a child from right here in America is staggering. Every adoption agency I have checked with says the fee is as little as $5,000 up to as much as $14,000, depending on the child's age, the particular agency, the financial needs of the birth mother, etc.

There are grants and aid that can be applied for, but the amount out-of-pocket can still be more than most everyday, working-class families can afford.

Sadly, though, organizations such as Planned Parenthood will gladly abort a child for free, without cost to the parent. They continue to find unique ways to advertise their services to kill our unborn children, and our federal government funds their efforts.

There are many families in this nation unable to have children of their own, and they would love to adopt an unwanted child and give it the love and attention it deserves. But, with those expensive costs associated with adoption, many families are left unable to foot the bill to adopt.

Maybe it's time to start charging all of these women who think they have a right to abort a defenseless, unborn child some of the same fees it takes to adopt a living one, and see if they might reconsider placing a child for adoption, rather than murdering it in cold blood.

Until we place more value on a human life than we do on unborn children in this country, our murder rate will continue to escalate.
