You ask an excellent question . I'm too old to adopt kids . On top of that , I've done my part raising my own kids.  Look , there's lots of people out there trying to adopt kids. Adopting kids when they are babies is the very best time. If Planned Parenthood is responsible for 329,000 dead kids last year and only helped 3000 get adopted---their priorities are all messed up. Clearly innocent life means nothing to them.  IF they do all the good work people claim they do and abortion is so little of their work---why don't they do what's best for women's health and end doing abortions ?  Or at the very least turn their abortion vs adoption ratio around ?  Both PP and their supporters have a very simple choice---stop doing abortions or lose federal taxpayers money . Again IF they do such great work , why don't all their supporters make donations to them so they won't need federal dollars ?  Then the killing of innocent kids can continue at this horrific rate.  Thank your mom for her choice.
