Editorial: Abortion debate finds common cause
March 18th, 2008From the Tri-City (Washington) Herald:
A bill making its way through Congress brings a rare chance for both sides of the abortion debate to come together in a humane way.
The bill, backed by Sens. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., and Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., would create a national registry for families willing to adopt babies born with Down syndrome, spina bifida, cystic fibrosis or dwarfism. It would cost about $5 million.
… this is an effort well worth the time and money it will take to set it up.
… A national registry would give pregnant women who might not carry their babies to term another option: A warm and accepting home with parents who are willing to accept the extra responsibilities such children represent.
