Abortion or Adoption? Pros & Cons?

Question

If you absoulutly had to choose.(no other choices)

which one would you choose and why?

Answer 1

This is a false dichotomy.  There are always other choices.

(And there are negative effects for adoption, too.)

Answer 2

definately adoption.. because even if i couldnt give the child the good life that it deserved then someone else could. and someone who really wanted a child would get one. I wouldnt do abortion because the child doesnt even get a shot at life.

Answer 3

Adoption because Abortion is murder...

Answer 4

Adoption... no matter what anyone says you never truly deal and move on after abortion.  Adoption is giving a gift worth more than anything in the world.  So many women in this world, even on this site, that are so deserving, would do anything to adopt a baby!

Answer 5

I guess adoption, especially if you have second thoughts; abortions can scar physically and emotionally.

Answer 6

The two are not related.  They are entirely different choices.

Abortion = a decision not to continue with a pregnancy

Adoption = a decision not to continue with parenting

Answer 7

try the "search for answers" function.  this question has been asked, debated, debated and asked again about 156 gazillion times in the past month.

---ok. my answer (again)

"unintented pregnancy is too nuanced and complicated to make a blanket decision."

ETA:  KR..."compulsary mothers???"  --lol!!!i can't breathe. please stop..

Answer 8

Adoption. The choice is life. To me there is no choice i could never get an abortion.

Adoption before Abortion!!!!!

Answer 9

idk what im gonna choose but im glad u asked this cuz now i can see what other people think and maybe that will make it better to decide for me cuz i am pregnant and i took a test and it is scary so ty

Answer 10

First of all, there are thousands of children not taken care of in for example South-America and Africa. When each of all these kids have parents taking care of them, maybe then we can start talking about not having abortions. Until then I would absolutely say yes to abortion, anyday!

Answer 11

Definetly adoption I never could bear to kill an innocent baby.

Also I've seen the pain a couple goes through when they find out there is no possibly way they can get pregnant, and later the great joy when they were finally able to adopt a child who needed a much more stable home. 100% adoption!

Answer 12

NOTHING to do with each other.

All those answering how wonderful adoption is - haven't been given away by their parents.

Adoption has hurt me - an adoptee - 365 days per year.

And I've had 39 years of it.

How about take responsibility - and parent.

Otherwise - get an abortion.

Don't make a full term child suffer - because it's all too hard for you to parent.

No one EVER thinks about the effects of ripping apart mother and child.

Mothers can pretend that it doesn't matter.

The children just can't work out what they ever did wrong.

Answer 13

Abortion is murder

Like any other murder, it SHOULD be illegal unless the mothers' life was at stake

if you have to chose between a life and another live, well, then, you have to chose, and a pregnancy that high-risk wouldn't necessarily end well anyway.

Answer 14

Abortion, because Adoption aborts an infants mother.

Answer 15

ADOPTION.. abortion is killing when theres SOO many people looking to adopt children cuz they cant get one any other way.. and i WAS adopted.. and im 14 now.. so if i woulda been aborted i wouldnt even be here... and by the 20th day that a person is pregnant the heart of the baby is already beating.. :D
