| Message | Life is precious, who are we to take it? But is it better to live happily than live an unhappy life in poverty or hunger? We think so, not everyone should be given the responsibility to take care of a baby, not everyone is physically or perhaps financially equipped for such a long comittment. In the long run, it is better if they wait for the next one, or even adopt a child. |
