Tell that single mom to put her kids up for adaption so they can have a nice life with a caring family, that has enough money to feed them? No be selfish and raise them in a shitty poor environment so that they can get rapped by a crack head at the age of 13 and turn into crack whores by the age of 16 and repeat the cycle for ever. ---

You’re a liberal and I would expect nothing less. Find it myself? You posted it moron its your job to back up what you say not mine. I’m sorry I guess as an educated person I expect to have facts back up statements but since your an **ignorant** conservative I guess I should expect nothing less.
