YES JUDGE! regardless of the situation on how it occured. The FACT IS you have a choice at every CORNER. To dispose of a LIFE for WHATEVER REASON is not JUSTIFIABLE. You CHOSE. You had a CHOICE. AGAIN REGARDLESS of the scenerio FACT is FACT. Its a FACT she delivered a BABY & INSTEAD of placing the child at the steps of a CHURCH or FIREHOUSE WITH NO LEGAL ACTION ANONYMOUSLY DONE. THOSE ARE FACTS. Not to mention ADOPTION, which is ANOTHER FACT.
