You don't start feeling strong emotions for your child until you start really interacting with it.

I cannot stand pro-life people. We're already living in an over-populated world and could stop with reproduction for a decade or so.
Oh I agree, and I am definitely pro-choice by all means. But I didn't want to open that can of worms with the abortion thing...because some people fly off the handle at the thought. People are less likely to get up in a wad at the suggestion of adoption though. That's all. I have had conversations with people in the "oopsie" situation and have heard the reply "well I was attached to it after being preggo for months and doing everything right while I was" and other similar answers. In my honest opinion, I agree with you, and think it's a false justification to keeping it rather than being selfish and thinking about your own life first....which more people need to do...otherwise we get this cycle of 16 and preggo families.
