I don't have any other postings any else has made on it. D,d the postings terminate too quickly?? please forward if anybody has them. NOW... Ok, so I'm ignorant. Enlighten me why it is an objectionable solution???? What is the perfect solution??? The woman has an abortion. Now this is acceptable to you. Is it because you think that it is easier to put a dead fetus out of the woman's mind? This assumes the mother has no guilt over it. ok. I grant that this happens often today. That still does not make it right. The woman has the abortion and is so disconsolate over it she needs professional help. I assume that this is acceptable also to you as long as "society" (whoever that is) supports her. How is it going to support her? We now have a problem with the ethics (or lack of) of the professional. Yet more problems. The baby is born and the mother gives the baby up WILLINGLY to another couple. This happens and it does work out well. Does the mother forget the Baby? I doubt it. The baby is born and the mother is somehow "coerced" into giving the baby up. I agree here (how about that). This is NOT a good solution. There will be regret, remorse over it. Even the adopting parents IF they know of the coercion should be guilty about it. Now explain yourself further. I advocate WILLING adoption. I extrapolate the feelings of the woman. After all you are not the only sensitive man on the net (occassionally I have my moments, this isn't one of them). Marchionni
