Abortion or Adoption?

Question

I am SO against abortion but I know that someone here will not like my opinon but am just curious on yours: What is the better option?

I was also asking to those who promote abortion--Have you seen what they REALLY do to an unborn baby? Shame on you!!

Someone answered to me as I am white. True but the child I am currently carrying is African-American,Spanish,and American and I am having family issues on that mix. Please don't judge until you have all facts. P.S. If it were that I could not have kids then I would adopt any race religion creed or whichever. A child is just that to me a CHILD. P.S.S. God made the human race we have made labels for his race-hmnn..... who's in the wrong?

Answer 1

i think adoption is better

Answer 2

The better option depends on the person/people & the circumstances.

I think it is the person/people in the situation that must decide, noone else can make that decision for them.

There are many reasons why people choose adoption but just as many reasons why people choose abortion. Not everyone who has an abortion thinks "Oh my God, I'm pregnant & I don't want this baby so I'd better have an abortion." The reasons for both are numerous.

If someone chooses adoption then that is there decision, if someone chooses abortion then that is also there decision & I would hold neither against them. They have done what they feel is best in their situation. They should not be judged by anyone.

The one thing I do disagree with though is using adoption or abortion as a form of birth control, that is to say getting pregnant over & over again to either abort or give the children up.

As someone has said, only when you have walked a mile in someones shoes.............

Answer 3

Abortion or Adoption?
It all depends on the circumstances involved. In some circumstances abortion is the best option and in others adoption. There are pros and cons for both.
And to Isis - yes I am glad I'm here. I nearly wasn't as my Dad wanted an abortion. Thankfully my Mum thought better of it and here I am with two beautiful kids of my own.
Personally I could never abort my own child or adopt it. Whatever the circumstances.
But not everyone has the same strength or support network or physical health or mental health. So each women has a right to choose what is best for her and her baby.

I know most people seem to be against abortion but....
Can you imagine having to give birth to a baby that was conceived during a rape? Or having to give birth to a baby that was so deformed the Dr said it would die as soon as it was born? Would you continue a pregnancy knowing the labour would kill you, leaving that child and any others you had with no Mother?

No matter what a women decides there are detrimental mental health aspects associated with both. Neither option is easy decide on.

Answer 4

There is no right or wrong answer. I personally would hate to put a child up for adoption knowing that it could be years before they have a good home. I also know the pain of abortion after having one myself and know that although it was the right decision for me at the time Iwould not do it again.

For all those people who are so anti abortion, perhaps you should wait until you are put in a position where you have to make that decision until you make such comments.

I do not feel that I am a bad person for having an abortion at all.

Answer 5

Im all the way with adoption. Abortion is wrong in many ways. Abortion to me is a sin. If you dont want kids right now DONT HAVE SEX! Your just punishing that poor unborn baby for your mistakes and thats not fair. Imagine this...imagine you are a baby about 4 weeks old or more in a belly of a 13-18 year old and they realize they dont want this baby...imagine the heart break of women all around the world who cant have babys. Instead of abortion give them up for adoption many women out there would love to adopt kids. So pease save a childs life and not punish them for your mistakes. And im glad your have this baby of many diffrent races! Thats so awesome!

Answer 6

Life is sacred, that child was meant to be created. Do you know the odds of falling pregnant? I don't the exact figure but its huge. But if for whatever reason the person needs an abortion I do believe that it is their right to do with their body as they so choose, but do all the unsuspecting fathers of these unborn know that they are being terminated? I think not. And as for the time span does it matter? They are murdering a baby, however minuscule. Adoption is better.

Answer 7

Adoption

Answer 8

My thoughts are adoption. Of course I have the greatest older brother because someone cared enough to give their child to someone who would love him. Not to mention I could not abort my unborn child and cry thinking about others doing it. However, whatever others do is their life. I am greatful though to those who do give their children up for adoption. We thought for nearly 6 years we could never get pregnant and decided we were going to adopt. I am now 10 weeks and 5 days pregnant, but still want to adopt a child.

Answer 9

Not always so cut and dried. Plus, a surprising percentage of women have had abortions that never tell anyone or turn around and condemn or judge those thinking of making the same choice.

I had a pregnancy with twins (different sacs). One fetus was dead. The other, if not lost through miscarriage, would have been severely deformed. I opted for a therapeutic abortion, removing both of my unborn children at a hospital that my PCP scheduled for me.

Leaving out the side door hospital entrance, a woman with a protest group threw pro-life pamphlets hitting my face, as she marched there with her 2 perfectly healthy children. I wondered in what way was I "marked' that she could determine I'd had just had an abortion. I wondered if she had a clue about my wrenching pain and anguish over my decision and the horrendous loss to me. Another friend of mind (now an 'ex'-friend, her choice) told me God would punish me for not 'leaving the decision in his hands'. She said she was an advocate for the rights of all children, born and unborn-particularly those with deformities and disabilties. Her daughter had been born with Downs Syndrome.

It was more than just a 'tough choice' for me and was done at 4 months, not the last trimester. But it was my legal choice to make. In my opinion, 'cut and dry' pro-lifers have a skewed reality and are doing the very thing they accuse others of--playing God with the lives of others.

Answer 10

adoption is always the better option, and I firmly believe that abortion should NOT be used as a birth control measure.

I am adamantly pro choice, which means exactly that...pro CHOICE...i feel that all women should be given the correct information and then allowed to make a choice that is rooted in research. Women should always be seen as able to make a choice, not having the option is a slap in the face to females everywhere, basically we are being told that we are not trusted to make an informed decision.

As for being happy that my mother had me, of course i am, what an absurd statement! What I am outraged about is that my smart, college educated mother was not given the choice when she was pregnant with me, she should have been seen as an intelligent woman who can make up her own mind without someone else telling her what she can and cannot do....and yes she shares the same belief as i do.

Promote abortion, also an absurd thing to say, we promote CHOICE.

Answer 11

Your avatar indicates that you're white. Yeah, I know it shouldn't matter. It does. I'm not going to express a preference, but simply state a fact. People fight to adopt a healthy white infant. It's a rare thing to do so successfully and the competition is fierce.
