Difficulty watching local news

I remember when I chose not to watch the violent Local News anymore and just watch informative World News that didn't seem to impact us that much Nationwide. BUT...the scales are tipping, in fact tipped, and about to get even more disturbing globally. China is coming for Taiwan and eventually the rest of us. They are speeding up their plan as we speak before our elections produce strong leadership that could hinder their effort. They know our leadership is weak right now.

Meanwhile, reports are revealing that our military isn't as strong as we once thought. China has bought our US technology to strengthen their force. In fact, we are paying taxes for China's military growth. Our freedom is on shaky ground. And if that isn't bad enough, today's report says we are 100% going to have a recession within the year. We're all feeling it already.

My point is that local news now is nothing compared to the world news today.

I would like to add that that there is also "Always" the option of contacting an Adoption Agency that has a long list of wonderful couples (and singles) who's hearts are pining away for the opportunity to adopt and pay for all prenatal and post natal expenses, emotional support, and more...especially for victims including "tweens". Adoptive couples can hardly wait to Love and Provide for the child.

I have a strong feeling that a victim who carried that child to full term, as hard as that would be, and then chose to give it to loving parents, will someday, as an adult, look back without guilt or shame but rather with peace in knowing they gifted the parents with a long awaited miracle and also saved the child. At least that would be my prayer for them all.

Sadly, my experience has taught me otherwise. I was pregnant at thirteen, as a result of s. assault. Had I not had an abortion, I would have been emotionally destroyed. No one in my circumstances should ever be forced to carry a child.

No difficulty whatsoever, I live alone so I can shout at the TV as much as I want, use all the colourful language I want without upsetting anyone.
Add to this, it's the best exercise I can manage, however, I daren't wear my shoes indoors as they may just damage the screen on the TV, instead, I wear nice soft slippers which bounce off the TV.
Now where did I put the remote? 😊

Maybe it depends on the jurisdiction. When I was considering adoption, I was told I couldn't receive one cent because that would be considered selling a human being. So the reduction in earning power, increases in nutritional and medical expenses, maternity clothes, etc., were all on my shoulders.

As for dropping a child at the fire station, no questions asked, I never heard of it. Is that for real?

I just read that in some states the mother is not allowed to receive money directly BUT typically about 40,000 is given to the adoption agency and the mother receives all of the money which is used for medical expenses, prenatal and postnatal care, and sometimes it even includes groceries and rent. But I think you are right that each state decides what their rules will be.

I've also heard that the fire station will accept babies...besides, if someone leaves a baby there, what else can they do but take it, right?

There will also be those who will look back and think that having an abortion is the smartest thing they ever did.

As the posts of others here have shown, you are both right, sometimes.

That is why I don't believe the government should have a role in making such a decision. I have no problem with supporting women who decide to keep the baby, good for them and I hope they get the help and support they need. On the other hand that is not always the best thing for the woman to do, only she can make the decision.

No matter who becomes pregnant, or how she becomes pregnant, even a victim of incest, there is no possible reason to murder the innocent baby.
If she can not get an abortion, she can always give it up for adoption. There are literally thousands upon thousands of couples who would be delighted to adopt a child.
 
Spoken by one who never has their life disrupted by a pregnancy or has had to go through labor and delivery plus the subsequent recovery period. Spoken by someone who has gone through 3 pregnancys, plus labar and delivery plus the subsequent recovery period. You're talking about at least a whole year out of someone's life!

Right ! no one should be forced to carry a child. BUT, after a birth, THERE IS NO POSSIBLE EXCUSE FOR MURDERING A CHILD.

I don't have any specific info on the local case of a mother killing her 2 year old, but if found guilty of the crime, she should be punished to the maximum.

As a victim of child abuse, I feel quite strongly about any parent who abuses a child. Child abusers are sadists.

I never said any pregnancy is easy. BUT, we are talking about murdering a LIVE CHILD. .. age 2 years.
 
No way should a child be forced to have a baby. Their bodies certainly aren’t ready and it’s endangering their health. I have seen horrible things as a former social worker and sexual abuse is horrendous and leaves life long scars. Abortion needs to be legal and the decision left up to women. I am so sorry for everyone that has lived through abuse.

Funny when popping into a thread and seeing the evolution of topic

I saw the title;

Difficulty watching local news​


and immediately thought it'd be about how crappy today's newscasts are

Of which...they are
It should be called Today's Opinion
because it seems any and all newscasts are just that

Can't get a straight up newscast anymore

NEWS.jpg


But, yeah, I'm not into the killing of tots.....or adults, or animals, or even creepy crawly things. Or grooving/grieving on it via the news

Now snakes?
Off with their heads!
Have hoe
Will travel

I posted a link to info about the mother in the first response to your post. You must have missed it. Here it is again.

I'm a genuine accident from married responsible people whose BC failed. In high school one of my closest friends was also the daughter of married parents whose BC failed. All I am saying is that this happens and our parents let us know we were not exactly 100% welcome and it hurts, always. She and I became shopaholics as a result and this is a hard habit to break. Even today, I struggle with it.

I guess I take this issue more to heart these days because the American supreme court overturned R v Wade and a woman's right to chose whether or not she was ready to, or wanted to, become a parent. Sometimes bad things happen to responsible people, and their innocent kids. :(

Sorry, but this thread is about a parent murdering a 2 year old, not about abortions which are an entirely different issue.
