but i too have problems with those who have children they cannot afford to care for, and others who mistreat and or/ have killed their children.
I wish their was a way to have to "qualify" to be a parent...
with the knowledge we have scientifically already this seems a logical step...

Even affordable, accessible, effective birth control is controversial in religious circles. Just another way mere mortals 'play god'.
While I am pro-choice, I am also anti-abortion. Its not a question of life, that much is pretty obvious.
Abortion screams failure! Failure to teach, failure to learn, failure to protect, failure to meet needs, failure to take responsibility, and so much more.
I don't think any reasonable person can make a list of circumstances in which (a) god will allow people to interfere with 'the plan', and when he won't. Yet, that's exactly what they do.

I did, ages ago! Now I'm going to have to find it again.
