That's rather depressing.I apologize because I don't mean to make a generalization here, but all of the women that I know that have had abortion have pretty much said it was the "easiest option."

I know I'm being a pain in the *** here, but that's not a justification, that's just a repetition of your claim. Why is the taking of human life wrong? I disagree. I think the taking of life from a concious being is wrong, on the grounds that concious beings have the capacity to suffer, which is universally agreed upon as undesirable. I also extend it to ecosystems, on the ground that suffering of sentient beings results from harming ecosystems.
You haven't provided a justification for your stance.
And the other hundereds of thousands of children already in the system (in private and g'ment orphanes, foster care, etc.) who will grow up in the system and then be kicked out into the world when they reach 18 years of age?
Sorry, but this whole adoption thing is merely a pie-in-the-sky distraction.
If the baby had something horrible that would result in painful death after birth then yes, I would consider an abortion. In the case of assault I would just give the baby up for adoption (obviously, there are plenty of parents out there who would love to have a baby). Other then what I first mentioned, I have no reason to abort nor would I see it as moral or ethical. It would just simply be murdering my child.
Please read my previous posts. People want NEWBORN BABIES. In fact, there are even more couples on these waitings lists than there are mothers considering this kind of adoption (picking a family for their baby). That fact alone proves that people are simply turning to the easiest answer - abortion.
20k kids starving a day...
Agreed, except I couldn't abandon my child if I was raped; I would still keep it
I'm not sure I could. I did have a friend who did and she was perfectly happy but for me and my husband, I'm not sure we could do that. And since I know there are sooo many people who wants children and cannot have them, it's possible that would be the best option in that situation.
