Angela & James,

Thanks for supporting some of what I'm saying to ALG.

I've noticed that when anyone keeps making comments such as "Its simple as that". Its typically "not as simple as that".

ALG and Indiana are not the exception. They are the norm.

Society believes that men should be responsible for their decision to have sex. Men are viewed to be the lucky ones to get sex and therefor must deal with the consequences. The focus should be based upon a discussion between a man and women when its determined that she is pregnant. Should she get an abortion, should they put the baby up for adoption, will he support her decision literally and figuratively.

The decision to have sex is NOT the decision to raise a child. They are two completely different decision processes in today's world.

We are basing our system on the old version where abortions were illegal or a carnal sin and adoptions were not possible. Imagine 100 years ago when nobody would adopt your child hardly because there wasn't enough food or clothing. Today you can find thousands of families so happy to raise your child.

My point is that our ideology is based upon 1950's logic.

Women today are powerful and can stand on their own two feet. In today's world women can make a decision to have a baby with or without the support of the man. She can decide.
