Anti-Choicers march on Washington promoting adoption as their cause

I despise, with a hatred white-hot, anti-choicer mofos using adoption as an excuse for denying women the right to their own health care with these sob's noses planted firmly in our doctor's offices. As an adult adoptee I despise being used as a pawn by these women-hating assholes.

I have stated before, but I will again, the horror I felt as I watched the disaster of the Haitian earthquake only deepen as I saw how many rw "christian" groups who had long ago set up camp in Haiti not to assist the poor, but to prey on them for their children that they could not afford to support.

Here's the anti-choicers, in all of their filthy glory using adoptees as their tools:

The adoptee rights community has mixed reviews of this film, but I always insist on making up my own mind on what I see. I come from(was a forced relinquishment) the same generation that Philomena was forced to relinquish her son. She was in an Irish Laundry, but my mother was here in the states and forced to Nanny a young child to pay for her medical costs of being forced to relinquish me. Can you imagine the torture of having to nanny a child while you know that you would be forced to relinquish a child that you wanted to parent?

Sigh. I wish more people cared.

Peace and love

Can we not all agree on this?

My experience is that everyone wants to hush our voices, yet wants to use us to speak for them.
