It is really hard to say and I do not judge those that do or do not. I had one at 18 because I was 18, just going to start college and no boyfriend or husband. I could not see going through 9 months of carrying a baby having to sacrafice time for healing, dealing with it all at such a young age, I was just not ready, I had a choice and it was my choice my body and I feel I made the right choice....
I also struggled to hvae a child with my husband and I did regret it a little that I had that abortion but at the same tim I knew I was not ready to have a baby when I was 18 It was just not an option for me.
then when I was trying so hard to have a baby it seemed like I was at the opposite end of the spectrum, I do have respect for those young girls who do get in trouble and see it through even to adoption...they are very strong, stronger than I am or was at that time in my life.
now I have two children so it is really great.

"you women are selfish wh*res, you kill children so that you may open your legs to every BUM without consequences or responsibility. You should have been sterilized after your first abortion"
I wasn't aware that fvcking my husband was "opening my legs to every bum". Get over yourself you horrendous excuse for a human being. You make me sick. Not wanting children automatically makes a female a wh*re? Sorry, but no. Go kill yourself, please. Or at least sterilize yourself so no more ignorant bigots are brought into this world to terrorize the rest of us.

I don't think people should be forced to have a kid. And in some cases adoption isn't the best decision. THere are so many kids out there without families and the world is already overpopulatd as it is. Why bring kids into this world that are not wanted. I think abortion is okay in some cases. But sometimes abortion is wrong.

In the U.S. there are not "a lot of babies out there". Did you know that the waiting list is ten years...yes, ten long agonizing years. I know...I have adopted. Why do you think so many Americans adopt from other countries? It is because you can adopt in less than 2 years by going through the process of a foreign adoption. Due to abortion, babies are a scarce in the U.S. My friend adopted two of the cutest little girls from Korea because of the ten year wait. She got the first one 18 months after starting the process. Since she was already approved, she only waited 6 months when they were ready for a second child.

Sorry, again you are mistaken....unless things have changed. We were on the list for any child from infant to age 5. There weren't any. Sure, we could have adopted age 10 and older without a problem but we hadn't been married that long (when we applied) so didn't want a child older than our marriage! Also, children over 8 usually have so many emotional issues that they never adapt to their adoptive home. Besides, why should a couple be denied an infant just because they are physically incapable of giving birth? Most couples want to grow along with their child...they want to see the first step, hear the first word, etc. I see nothing wrong with that. They are already being cheated by never experiencing the joy of pregnancy or the joy of delivery...why should they have to miss the joy of seeing an infant grow and change from day to day?

How many children have YOU adopted? Those who are SO critical of those of us who have unselfishly adopted are usually the same ones who have never adopted and have often had multiple abortions. Until you have suffered years (9 for me) of infertility, you have absolutely NO right to judge somenone who has. Walk in their shoes first so you can understand their pain. It is always easy to be critical when you are fortunate enough to conceive at the drop of the pants or if you don't desire children in the first place.

Life is full of choices, we're allowed to make our own choices, to strip away a fundamental right on the basis of somebody thinking it's 'wrong' is unfair, and isn't apart of a egalitarian society that most democratic countries claim to be.

It is fact that the adoption system is overcrowded and biased. Most people who decide that they want to adopt go there looking for a adorable, white, and healthy newborn. This leaves out anyone who is mentally retarded, dark-skinned, racially mixed, or is a older child. Even if the baby/child is put up for adoption, it does not mean that they will automatically be adopted. You are pretty much destined to live in the system if you are not white. If you are adopted it does not mean that you will live a good life.
A lot of people do not like abortions because they have this image of a mean doctor murdering a cute baby. Which is far from the truth.

I think it is wrong for ME due to a strong religious background. I don't judge people who have to make decisions based on their own circumstances. It's easy to look from the outside, or even regret an action in the future, but sometimes in a 'present' reality, people do what they feel they have to do in order to get on with their lives.

Since I have adopted, of course, I would say put the baby up for adoption. Abortion is wrong for me but I would never tell someone else what to do. They have to live with their choice and the knowledge of what they did...it is just tragic that an innocent paid the price.
Anyone who has never seen a 12 week old fetus would not believe how perfectly formed it is and how it looks just like a teeny version of a full term baby! It is incredible to see something so tiny and so perfect! Also, the heart starts to beat around the 18th day...something most people do not know. (I'm an R.N.)

I do not think terminating is wrong. I do not think anyone can make that decision but the woman experiencing the pregnancy. No one but her knows just what her situation is, why she wishes not to be pregnant at this time etc.
Adoption is a viable option for those who wish to do so. I don't think any pro-choice person is against adoption, we just realize it's not the right choice for every woman.
