    We can all agree that abortion is undesirable and a terrible experience for a woman to go through, physically and mentally. However, who will take care of these "unwanted" children? Certainly not the church nor governments. The real issues are the lack of education and the never ending social disparities. Congratulations, this is excellent work!! I want to see more.
