Critique of Ann Coulter's The Church of Liberalism: Godless

Ahhh, you beat me to it, LM.I used to volunteer at Christmas festivals for children waiting to be adopted and living in group homes. I can tell you that every year less than 10% of the kids there were physically healthy, white children and the majority of that 10% had some form of behavioral problem. The only white infant I ever saw there was a baby boy who had been shaken so violently that his head had swelled to 3 times the normal size. The rest were teenagers, black, Latino, Native or physically/mentally disabled. Or they had AIDS. The saddest part was that for 5 years pretty much the same kids returned to receive their presents and face paintings and 2 minutes on Santa's lap.So, yes, N_J, there are many people waiting in line to adopt, but those that are waiting more than likely are waiting for a healthy Caucasian newborn, NOT an AIDS baby, NOT a crack baby, NOT a child with anger issues, NOT a baby of any minority and most definitely NOT a teenager.I also find it interesting that I can receive $8000 for some of my ova and some couples will pay WAY more than that through a private arrangement for the eggs of a woman who meets their specific criteria. Of course, I do not have statistics of how many of these couples are anti-abortion, but I'm willing to bet that it is similar to the general population.And AMEN, LM, for bringing up the issue of social services.Yes, we want you to have your baby, but no one will adopt it and I know you don't want it to languish for years in a group home, so your only choice is to raise it yourself, but you won't get any kind of help. You can't work because you can't afford childcare and food at the same time, but you can't get welfare, either. If your child gets sick, you have to be in debt for the rest of your life in order to pay the medical bills and we don't have a low-cost preventive care system either so you'll have to wait until s/he gets REALLY sick because you didnt know that a problem was developing. The school system is underfunded and we no longer have free/reduced lunch programs so your kid will probably go hungry during school because we got rid of subsidized housing and rent-controls so all your money will go to rent and you will still be behind even tho you could finally get a job at $5.15 an hour now that your kid is in school. But, the minimum wage will be a thing of the past very soon because it makes Big Businesses earn $5 billion a year profits instead of $6 billion and corporations are people, too! Your baby will probably have a baby in its teenage years, too, because our abstinence programs in the schools don't seem to be working too well, but we can't go back to teaching about "safer sex" because it isn't in line with our Christian principles. And the cycle will repeat. You and your baby have fun now!Edited by AdminAsgara, : No reason given.
