From what I understand there are long waiting lists for people wanting to adopt.
There are really easy ways NOT to get pregnant. Once that happens you have a life to deal with.
Getting pregnant is not like losing your keys or running out of gas on the highway. It's not a goofy mistake you should be able to solve as though it meant nothing.
