Adopt a child

It’s hard to believe that in the year 2015 abortion is still an issue.

The 24-hour abortion waiting period not only discriminates against poor women, but all women and their rights.

I’d like to propose a bill for all the lawmakers who oppose abortion that it be mandatory that they adopt an unwanted child, or one that is poor and hungry.

If the roles were reversed and men were the ones to get pregnant, this would be a non-issue.
