Theres a lot of people who would adopt but for the $40K (on average) cost associated with it. It shouldn't cost that much. If adoption were more affordible, more people would do it.
Well, you appear to be NOW ..after I pointed out what you said in your post: YOU: ""Choose the action ... choose the consequences""" . ME: ""GLAD YOU ARE PRO-CHOICE That's what women do, CHOOSE the consequences !!! """ You keep claiming I said that but have NEVER PROVEN I DID. I noticed you claim other poster say things that they never said...proving you have no point and have to make things up... . You live in a fairyland of made up claims and a whole boatload of misogyny.....I have seen other Anti-choicers who had disdain for women but you're on the top..
Just this week I learned that the Catholic Church tortured and murdered indigenous students of church run schools in Canada from the 19th century up until 1969.....and those EVIL Scums DARE to tell women they're evil if they get an abortion...they are filth..
A more provocative question would be should a woman be "granted" the right to abort a healthy fetus because of it's sex?

Glad you finally agree women aren't perfect (nor do they have to be)....but why do you think all women drive Mercedes?
And yet the SAME funding put into programs for sex education and contraception would prevent far more abortions because what better way to stop women ending unwanted pregnancies that to get rid of unwanted pregnancies?
And that is only the top of the iceberg watch the film Philomena with Judy Dench - what the church did in not just Ireland but many places was so abusive.
Not to the same extent because a significant proportion of women having abortions actually already have children
Sounds provocative. Again, who has the right to know the thoughts behind her decision, or even her decision?
And that was the real point to the thread. It is easy to spit backache Nd say “Oh Well she should not have gotten pregnant in the first place” but the real reasons women have abortions are complex and complicated and are far more life impacting than many of the anti choices realise
Someone has to make these calls. I think the pregnant woman is in the best place to understand the complexities involved in weighing all aspects including the family dynamics, the economics, the health concerns etc. She is more likely to see the whole picture and how all these pieces will fit together for success or failure.
Yes. Until you can find someone who knows more about what situation this fetus inside will be borne into, what real support system there will be, and who has a better idea of the realistic economic and physical challenges that will lay ahead for him and everyone else affected, this woman is the best steward, the best advocate and best capable of deciding whether to bring this fetus to term. It sure as hell is not some govt agency that is best suited. Sometimes that answer will be not to your liking. That's just too bad for you.
Um... You mean like a medical expert? Or a bioethicist? Or special guidance counselors who are specially trained and have experience to help women navigate this process? Aborting because of the future life circumstances you expect the child might be born into seems pretty harsh. How about this? If someone else steps up to the plate and signs a contract agreeing to adopt, that woman shouldn't abort. They could place the women on a registry (with her picture and relevant information) and if no one offers to adopt within one week, she can abort. I think that proposal would neutralize your "care of the child after birth" objection. I don't know how pro-choicers would feel about white women and more attractive looking women not being able to abort tho...
