While I was in the process of adopting my son I had the misfortune of sitting for hours going through the Blue Books. Literally thousands of children (none orphans) abandoned by their familes AFTER being abused so severely that they are lame, scarred, hopelessly retarded or so emotionally disturbed that they can no longer function in society.

After the adoption, a Right To Lifer showed up at my door. "Sullivan" to him meant Irish Catholic. When he realized that it was my maiden name and I had a child, he treated me like garbage and started in on saving my soul. I asked him if it would have been better if I had aborted my son and gone to church without anyone knowing? He left.

If you truly abhor abortion, do something about it - open your home to that unwanted pregnant teenager and her child. Take in the drug addict preggie or the one infected with AIDS and raise those children. Give those precious but unwanted children the same upbringing as your own flesh and blood BEFORE their familes have a chance to harm them. Frightening a pregnant woman with no means of raising a child away from an abortion doctor is not how to end abortion.

The truth is you don't want those babies in your neighborhood nevermind your home. When I said this to a rabidly pro-abortion friend, she looked at me thunderstruck and said "I don't want to raise someone else's children." I already knew that - there are still thousands of them each on his or her own page in the Blue Books.
