Freedom of Choice to Choice; what? Abortion? Adoption? Or...?

Question

What do you think that women should chose to do when they at PG and are not ready to have a baby in their life?

Answer 1

They should put the child up for adoption or take care of their responsibility since they had unprotected s*x.

Answer 2

adoption.  abortion is killing a baby, and keeping it wouldnt be fair if it would have a better life with someone else.

Answer 3

Adoption. If the person made a mistake why should the baby pay for it? I think the only abortion should be used as an option is in severe cases. Like if the mother may be facing death due to severe complications in the pregnancy or if someone gets raped and pregnant at a very young age sinse it can do damage to someone so young and fragile. But I think adoption is the way to go because so many people throughout the world try everyday to become pregnant and can't. Why should they never be able to have children?! Adoption can make a lot of people happy all with one little decision!

Answer 4

Here is what I see today.  I see lots of infertile couples desperate for a baby.  I also see lots of children desperate for parents, who for some reason are just shuttled from one foster home to the next and cannot seem to get adopted -- because they are the wrong race, not cute enough, not healthy enough, or were born by parents who aren't exactly exemplary human beings.  Is giving the baby up for adoption a viable alternative to abortion?  The facts suggest otherwise.

But I'm listening to suggestions.  Here's my plan:  We get one million or more "pro-life" people to sign up for a program, let's call it "Stop Abortion Now", or something like it.  The members will file a special tax form every year and pay an additional tax (which, if you wish, will be credited against their local real estate and school taxes).  This anti-abortion tax will be used to pay for medical care and pregnancy-related leave of women who are forced to bear children against their will, as well as to compensate employers for loss of productivity, refund lost tuition, etc.  

Additionally, unwanted children who don't get adopted on the open market within 90 days of birth will be randomly assigned for mandatory adoption to pro-life members of Stop Abortion Now.  (Naturally, the special tax will  also pay for the leave necessitated by the 90-day free adoption period.)  You want 'em?  You adopt 'em.  And don't even think about choosing -- like the birth mother, you get what you get: children with Tay-Sachs disease, babies of rapists and drug addicts, children both to women over 50, etc.  YOU pay their medical bills.  YOU raise them.  YOU provide, personally, for an alternative to abortion.

As with every strongly held belief, I say -- put your money where your mouth is.

Answer 5

Women should do whatever they feel they want to do with their body. There is no one clear cut answer to solve everything.  Every individual will have to make that decision for themselves and it will be between her and God.  Not between her, God and everyone else who has an opinion about what she should or shouldn't do.

That's a personal choice.

Answer 6

i think she should take a lot of time, and think about her options. abortion is not right for everyone, neither is adoption. i don't think there is anything wrong with either.

myself, if i knew in my heart i couldn't properly care for a child, i would have an abortion. i don't want anyone making that choice for me, nor do i want to make that choice for anyone else.

Answer 7

I believe it is a personal decision for everyone.  As an woman who has suffered from infertility for 7+ years and an adoptive mom, I of course would hope that people would "choose" adoption.  I also am pro-life in my personal views.  However, I do believe that it is an individual decision to be made by each person.  In that sense, I am pro-choice.  

Adoption can be beautiful.  And I do personally disagree with abortion.  But I know that many abortion protesters are also against the infertility treatments that I went through.  For me, it was a personal decision.  And I feel that everyone has been given choices to make in their lives and they are the ones that must live with the outcome of those choices.  We should not judge them one way or the other.

Answer 8

I  think if a woman gets PG, they need to sit down and really decide for themselves what is best for thier situation, and what action to take. What I think dos'nt really matter. They are the ones PG.

Answer 9

I think people that are not ready to have the responsibility of having a baby should not have s*x.

So many people try and try to get pregnant with no luck and some people who just don't want a baby always gets pregnant faster.

So the answer to your question is adoption for me anyways.

Answer 10

Well in my case, I chose adoption, even I had plenty of reason to have an abortion. I got pregnant while on birth control pills.

Answer 11

Women so far have choices, Once the anti abortion people break government, we'll have no choices. The pharmacists already can refuse birth control, this is the next step. If I need an abortion, I want the CHOICE of whether or not to do so. The girls should chose what they think they can handle. If they want an abortion, they should be able to do so. f they want to do adoption, they should also be able to do so.

In the old days, abortions were illegal and many went to an alley for one, only to end up with hemmoraging and infections from the rusty coathanger, if this is where we're heading in the land of the free, then I'd just take my chances and do the abortion myself. Again.
