re: #162 Justanotherhuman

I really wish all the “right to life” assholes would look at things like this and it would dawn on them that if they really cared about “the children” that maybe they could work on things like low cost or free day cares instead of those bogus “crisis pregnancy centers” they love to fund and support. Or food banks and school supply centers in poor neighborhoods or after school programs or a whole host of other answers to big problems. The company she works for has a social responsibility too, wouldn’t it have been great if her HR people could have pointed her towards affordable child care or had one on site?

But no, they’ll see that woman’s mugshot, view her as “Other” and make their own stupid conclusions about her and her life. It may turn out she meets those stereotypes, but it looks like, on some level she was really trying to figure out how to support her kids. I hope her other kids end up in a home where they are loved and cared for. God this is so sad, and not the only home where tough choices like this exist every day.
