To Heleva, You make some really good arguments...

1. Not enough people are stepping up to the plate to adopt, indeed, and those reasons are certainly worth investigating. Could it be that parents would rather raise a child with their own DNA and go to the expense of industrial fertilization than adopt? Could it be that this society does not regard motherhood as an admirable profession? Could it be that the majority of families do not function in a traditional manner anymore? Could it simply be that this society has become far too self serving and irresponsible?

2. The politics of pro-lifers appear inconsistent. First of all, I do not think that the sanctity of human life should be a matter of politics, more than it should be a matter of social transformation because the politics will naturally follow such transformation. As for capital punishment, there is a big difference between a justice system that litigates someone who is guilty and one that terminates an innocent human being who has not so much had the opportunity to even take a breath of fresh air. As for war and global gag, indeed it is very, very tragic that women are willing to sacrifice their own lives and ultra religious regimes are willing to compromise the welfare of their own communities under the delusion that they ought to pursue their own interests, in spite of evidence to the contrary; proving indeed just how much Satan is invested in this kind of rationale. However, we are not in a battle of flesh and blood, but of principalities, and where Satan has a stronghold, the outcome is always death. For that reason, I do not support surrendering of principles simply because the enemy has a great deal of determination. (Romans 2:12)

3. It is not the government’s responsibility to raise children; it is the responsibility of the parents. As I have mentioned before, the problem appears to lie in the lack of responsibility. Personally, I think that this society is making a grave mistake in handing their responsibilities over to the government, lest it become Marxist.
