Do you think it is justice to force an imprisoned woman to continue her pregnancy and then remove her child from her custody because she cannot provide care while she is imprisoned?
Aren't there Constitutional restrictions on cruel and unusual punishment?!?!

Forcing you to continue a pregnancy, full knowing that the state will be FORCING you to give your child up, to me, is extremely cruel. And no man could ever FATHOM the depth of feeling women have for their child after 9 months of pregnancy. That is much crueler then any abortion.
