I wish babies born alive after an abortion would be given up automatically for adoption instead of being euthanized.

Yes, the women are right — “my body, my choice.” But if the newborn child had the wherewithal to survive a botched abortion, then kindly let it live with someone other than the person who did not want the child to begin with. Let the children live, so they may live a life of their own, to be all that they can be.

The U.S. has so many people in childless homes who want to love an unwanted baby. Be big enough, passionate enough, to give a newborn a chance in life. Don’t deprive this little child of a warm loving home and family, or the opportunity to have a beautiful, fulfilling life. I thought the U.S. was better than this. Just think. It’s simply a heartbeat away.
