Disgusting
What a creepy organization..making millions by sucking out unborn children (oh wait, sometimes they dissolve them with acid...or even better, birth them, then crush their skulls or stick forceps into the brains)
a message from Mother Nature.....
Fortunately, our servicemen in foreign countries never have relations with the locals, and never have children of mixed race who get abandoned, neglected, murdered. Un-wanted children never end up selling crack or raping or spending their lives in prison. And fortunately birth control methods never fail!.......... We do a better job of raising children that we have by choice than by chance. Mr. Navy Vet needs to remember his youth.....
