I’m a Pro-Choice Adoptive Parent

There are parents who want to adopt the child. The mother and baby are healthy. Yet still you think the woman should have the right to kill the child.

The only reason I can find here for this is the argument that denying abortion is coercive. Assuming the pregnancy did not result from rape (this has not been alleged), that argument rings hollow. So the author bends over backwards to be non-judgmental and act as though the pregnancy was some sort of disability – the woman got pregnant “too easily.” This is the argument of a teenager.

This phony argument does not help women make responsible decisions. The same risky behavior that caused the pregnancy could cause much more serious problems that do not have a quick fix. The baby’s life is not the only life at stake.
