POPSPro-Life Democrat Gets Booted for Supporting Contraception It is the height of irony in the pro-life movement that many do not support contraception as a way to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Excepting those with arcane theological reasons for the position, it indicates to me that many in the pro life movement actually want unwed mothers to get pregnant, deliver their babies, and experience all of it as a punishment for having sex outside of marriage. They don't care about life. They care about punishing carnality.

POPSKids Born to Unwed Moms Hit Record High Sad...extremely sad. This contributes to the poverty level and the emotional instability of the next generation. Welcome to the 21st century, the fruit of 'free love' and personal irresponsibility. We will reap the whirlwind and in fact, already are.

POPSGov. Palin Slashed Funds for Unwed Teenage Mothers I really can't understand how a governor could slash funds for teenage unwed mothers unless increasing their hardship is supposed to teach those sinners a lesson. I believe that is about the correct righteous tone that masquerades for apathy and stinginess in "fiscally prudent" circles these days. Of course, if one wants to get really biblical about the matter, one could always consider the significance of "Whatever someone sows that also he reaps" if you get my meaning.

POPSBroken Homes breaking the economic bank Perhaps we are not willing to look at the real cost of broken homes. Being a product of a broken home myself I can personally state the high price I had to pay as a result of being raised in a fatherless home. The emotional scars and damage caused by the harmful effects of a parent leaving were hard to overcome. I am unable to calculate the actual financial cost the broken home had on myself but I can say for a surety that it certainly had an ill effect on it. Now I am not saying to anyone to stay in a dangerous relationship but too many marriages are destroyed for no other reason then selfishness and unforgiveness. It is no better for the Christian home than it is for the non-Christian household it would appear. Perhaps we need to spend more time and energy on making ourselves better spouses than trying to fix our 'better half'?

POPS'Baby hatch' highlights Japan fears over adoption Confucianism, which spread to Japan from China and Korea more than a thousand years ago, emphasises the importance of a child's relationship with its birth parents and reverence for ancestry When women give birth they must enter the child's name on their family register, a powerful incentive for single women to end a pregnancy or even abandon a newborn rather than risk its being discovered by a potential employer or future husband For much of Japan's history, adoption has therefore remained within the extended family, with childless couples often taking in a nephew or other relative to carry on their family name or business, rather than because the child was in need of care. "Special adoption," of needy non-relatives was not introduced until 1989 and only a few hundred cases are approved each year, compared with three to four thousand in the United Kingdom, which has around half Japan's population.
