Hey guys. I'm a woman and I have a couple of things to say about this issue. I may get some negs on this but this is just my opinion.

First off, let's not forget this is coming from a state that can't figure out how to use an electoral ballot, i.e. the last presidential election.

Secondly, when it comes to making laws like this, a large portion of the time it's men making them. I'm not saying they don't have a right to have a say in their child's course of life but usually, when a child is being put up for adoption, it's for a good reason. Be it the father has skipped out or the mother doesn't feel, or isn't, fit enough to raise the child. There are many good people out there, who can't have children, who can love and provide for them.

My feeling about the men/people making these laws don't know what it's like to walk in a woman's footsteps. If a woman has been raped, she is mortified and violated in the worst way. She feels so humiliated that often rapes don't get reported. What on earth makes these lawmakers think she will lay herself on the line and print this humiliation in the local paper? Furthermore, women don't want to publish their promiscuity either. Men aren't the only one's who want to keep their sexual relationships quiet.

Perhaps if lawmakers got off their butts to give their brains some oxygen, we wouldn't have so many stupid laws. We don't want you to have abortions but we don't want to make it any easier for you go give the child up either....give me a break.

We have more important things to worry about these days.

Now I'm off my soap box. I'm sorry if I offended anyone but this is just my opinion.
