Some women even have "potential" children, not yet conceived that are as real to them as that baby in the stroller over there. They are as real as their mothers minds can make them. But for the woman (or in this case child) who doesn't know she's pregnant, or does not accept it, or hates the very idea... it's not a baby. It's a parasite, a cancer. If she is saavy enough to know how to go about ending her pregnancy, and can afford to do so it's all hunky dorey, at least until President Romney takes office. On the other hand, if shes a baby herself, and doesn't have access to any of the options that would solve her problem?
So yeah Ronald you're a 14 year old boy. Your girl friend brings you her bundle of dismay and hands it to you and says "take care of it" are you so sure you'd have handled it? Could you suck it up and face your Mom with the baby?
