no.

give cash UNCONDITIONALLY. it’s not your business how they spend it. you don’t get to walk along with them holding on to the other end of the $1 until you see them pass it over to someone you approve of. if they get food do you get to decide where they get it from? if you see them pass it off to someone, do you get to interrogate that person as to whether they’re a friend or someone who lent them money earlier or a dealer? would you go around trying to stop any and every exchange of drugs, or just if you think someone is too poor or too homeless? how do you know if someone’s drug use is the “cause” (theres never just one cause) of someones homelessness? you do NOT get to feel superior. they ask for money, you choose to give it, it does NOT give you any right to “supervise” them or control how they use their own money. people think that everyone who is homeless or at risk of it (SO SO MANY people are at risk of it) are in that position because they did something to deserve it or are inherently lacking as people somehow, and that they have to be “led” into better Life Choices via patronizing conditionalities that often sabotage someones efforts to take care of themselves. they are NOT lesser people, you do not know anything about them, you don’t have any right to insert your judgment in what they should do to prove they “deserve” any tiny piece of the same resources we wouldn’t question going to anyone who seems Not-Poor enough. you don’t know what would actually improve their lives. you certainly don’t get to think that you know better than they do what they need at any given moment. they are individuals and they are people. to suggest they need your guidance to make good life choices only implies your own biased assumptions about why someone is homeless.

2. I have a themed blog. I post primarily about things that somewhat relate to one of the two causes in my URL. How much I post about something doesn’t say how sickened I am about it. Not to mention-- I’m Canadian. I’m not saying I was completely oblivious to this, but it’s certainly not something I get regular updates about. I was sent this post directly and went “Hey, you asked.” Sorry if I misunderstood you. 

However, I do realize you have a point. 

I’m pretty broke, but there’s some action from me if you’re not satisfied with words. 

Yes, the foster-care/adoption system sucks, but it is always 100% better than death. Adoption/foster care means you have a chance. You may have a painful start, but you have your entire life ahead of you, many years to become a happy person again. 

The idea of killing someone now to prevent possible suffering in the future, is ridiculous.  

Also, deformed and miserable? That’s a horrible thing to say. Sure, if a child will be born brain-dead, or with some disorder/defect that will cause them a painful death, I think that should be left for the family to decide, but otherwise? As far as I’m concerned, if the child has a chance to experience happiness in their life, they deserve that chance. 

I literally created a reddit account just so I could leave an actually helpful comment on a thread for a woman facing unplanned pregnancy. No one had left helpful or encouraging messages for the woman, who is pro-choice but doesn’t want to terminate. She asked for help and advice, but got none. Instead, she got messages about women who chose abortion instead, one even telling her that her risk of having a disabled baby is high and may be worth aborting now anyway just in case!!! One of those disabilities being ADHD!!!

Please go to this woman’s thread and show her compassion and support. I already linked her to my NFP and pregnancy resource blogs, but I know the pro-life fam has so much to offer individually. Comment and encourage and share resources! https://www.reddit.com/r/Parenting/comments/7fj745/unexpectedly_pregnant/
