DEF <exploit> 2. to make unethical use of for ones own profit.
The problem is that absolutely no concern is for the mother, their
only purpose is to get their hands on the baby. the prospective
adoptive parents are well-to-do contributers to the church.
Unethical,explotative, and IMMHO monstrous.
As I've already pointed out, the refusal of so called pro-life
groups to support birth control points clearly at their primary
goal.
Women are not property, nor are they "Axolotl tanks".
