gift for baby death image
BR
Whether its a birth of a baby, wedding events, deaths or charities, there is social pressure to give money. It is most bothersome when a financial gift is requested for people you do not know [co-workers/neighbors]. I am tired of giving hundreds of dollars away to non family members and acquaintances. Can't anyone have a baby without expecting gifts from everyone?
Answer
At a past job I worked in a nightmare office of all women, dozens of them, and the hat was passed almost daily; birthdays, babies, weddings, anniversaries, holidays, illness, going away, you name it. Not only that but they specified the amount you were required to give! I was the low man on the totem pole salary wise and relatively new and I deeply resented this incessant robbery for people I barely knew and having to pay whatever amount they deemed necessary. I never do it today and avoid this sort of thing; if confronted in future I will smile regretfully and say "I'm sorry, I'm just strapped right now" and that's it.
I especially resent the Girl Scouts selling cookies which I used to love but now the price is ridiculous and the cookies are dreadful, last time I had to throw them out, ugh.

Should the babies of women who want late-term abortions be given a fighting chance?
Barbara
If someone is in their 3rd trimester and they want to abort their pregnancy, should the baby be delivered and given to someone else?
Why or why not?
What if a women wanted to do this and the premature baby didn't make it?
Answer
If you don't want a baby..especially if you are already that far a long. Just go ahead and have the baby and give it to someone else. God starts creating that baby the second it is conceived. The personality, eye color, laugh everything is already determined even before it looks like a little person. It is not our choice to take a life. I understand why some do it and If I did not know better I would probably do the same thing. I don't look down on those who do. I just hope that I can encourage people to choose another option. That is definitely a living person that will literally be sucked out and ripped to pieces. I don't think I could handle that even if I was ok with it. Oh and I know some people that have done this and it has bothered them ever since. I grew up in a christian home and got pregnant before I was married, I was scared to death but knew I had to deal with the "consequences" having my daugther turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me. She was such a gift even though at the time it was my worst nightmare realizing I was pregnant. Anyways, Good luck to hoever is making this kind of decision. :)
