What if the mother is not ready to take on the care of the child?

Will we bring another unloved thing into this world? As a victim of child abuse, growing up being unloved and scorned for the simple feat of existing was something that has scarred me for the rest of my life. I don't want that to happen to anyone else - and plus, if the abortion happens early on, the child has never opened their eyes or experienced life. I think the people who are going to give birth to a child have full right to decide if they want it or not. Sometimes, the circumstances just aren't right. Also, you have to take into account the idea of rape - should a woman be forced to carry the child of a man who raped her? There's a lot of situations and overall, in general, the person who gives birth should be allowed to make the final call.

ADOPTION. THERE ARE PEOPLE WANTING CHILDREN WHO CAN'T HAVE THEM. FIND SOMEONE. There will always be women in the church who will want another child to take care of. People can give that human life a chance to have a good life.

The adoption process itself can be lengthy, costly, and emotionally draining. Furthermore, not all children who are put up for adoption find homes. According to the AFCARS Report, there were over 122,000 children waiting to be adopted in the United States in 2019. These children spend an average of 3 years in foster care, often moving multiple times.

No child should ever grow up feeling unloved or unwanted. However, I believe there are alternatives to abortion such as adoption and foster care systems. These options can provide the child a chance to experience love and care in a different family setting.

Texas Offers Trump 1,400 Acres for His Mass Deportation Dream

Officials in Texas have offered President-elect Trump a 1,400-acre ranch for his mass deportation plan.Dawn Buckingham, land commissioner of the Texas General Land Office, said in a letter to Trump Tuesday that her office was “fully prepared” to work with federal agencies that are going to be involved in Trump’s immigration plan, and specifically deportation.Buckingham offered Trump a 1,402-acre lot in Starr County. The lot is owned by the Texas General Land Office and is roughly 35 miles west of McAllen, Texas.She said the agency is ready to work with the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or the U.S. Border Patrol to build a facility on the land for “the processing, detention, and coordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation’s history.”“I am committed to using every available means at my disposal to gain complete operational security of our border,” Buckingham wrote.The letter and offering of land were first reported by The Texas Tribune. Last month, the state bought the land along the U.S.-Mexico border and has plans to build a wall.In the letter, Buckingham criticized her predecessor for not allowing a border wall to be built on the property. Those actions “enabled cartel members and violent criminals to sexually abuse migrant women and children on this land,” she said.On Monday, Trump signaled he would declare an immigration national emergency and use military assets to support his mass deportation plan when he returns to office.
