What are your thoughts on this article about maternity homes?

Wow, keeping them isolated, interecepting their mail, limiting communication - sounds like imprisonment.

We had a matching earnings till now i desperate to stay homestead. Our plan became for me to stay homestead AFTER the toddler became born yet I had being pregnant problems that forced me to end artwork at 4 months pregnant. What we got here across became wonderful: we had greater money left over on the top of the month as quickly as I wasnt working. while i became homestead, I wasnt commuting and filling up with gas all the time, I wasnt ingesting out or getting takeout for lunches, i became homestead and comfortable and had time to make dinner. while i became working i could get homestead previous due, then do a rapid restore meal or takeout that could properly be costly. while i became homestead, i can make issues from scratch and on the cheap, and it became scrumptious, fit and we've been greater comfortable. all the fast restore stuff is greater costly and then theres the final minute stuff offered on the food market on the way homestead considering the fact which you're so drained and dont go with to be bothered cooking plenty. So, there i became at homestead, and we weren't lacking my earnings. We have been SO stunned. We additionally adjusted our budget and our life variety, and saved greater money. Our toddler is 6 weeks old now and Im nevertheless at homestead. And yeah, no daycare is remarkable and my toddler and that i are already so close. that element at the same time is properly worth any difficulty we could could face.

I think the article is written really well and presents the issue in a good light, it also raises very real concerns re 'choice'. I think these homes are great in some respects but in many others they are really quite bad. They all seem to work off the assumption that all teens become pregnant on purpose when really that just is not the case, there are many reasons teens find themselves pregnant when they really didnt want to be, we need to find out why, not accuse and shame these girls. Is it because teaching absitinence doesnt give them enough facts about how to protect themselves and what options they have should 'the condom split' etc such as the morning after pill? (forgive me but I am not 100% familiar with that line of teaching so I have probably got that way off). When I was pregnant with my first (above the legal age of consent but still a 'young mother' because I was not yet 25) I was able to attend a course called young mums to be, they teach life skills, how to cope with a baby, how to budget, how to write a CV, what is happening to your baby and what will happen in labour. They also helped you to bond with your baby which most of the mothers needed due to the pregnancy happening in difficult circumstances, I think something like this should be available to all mothers.

Maternity homes should banned. Why does a pregnant woman need to be isolated? I think the person that stated brainwashing is correct. That would be the only reason to isolate mothers is to brainwash them into relinquishing. How sick.

Wow.

This sort of thing was my biggest fear when I found myself pregnant at seventeen.

My parents (not me) were Mormon, and I knew, if my mom found out my plans to abort, I would have been whisked away to a program like this and forced to parent or place the child for adoption.

there is one place i know of. its called covent house. it is a place for kids to get off the streets' they have program for girls that are pregnant. thy help them. they can ether keep their baby or give hem or her up.

ya know, i think people who force their kids to give THEIR kids up for adoption is horrible.

its a totaly different thing if the mother chooses adoption.

thats really sad ):

Vulnerable population says it all. Legislators and state people should not assume 'church' people are nice people. Didn't they get a clue from all the scandals already?
