No, not really. There are options outside of abortion. To say it is a case of abortion or a life of poverty is simply ignorant.




Can you fault someone for robbing a store? I can and do.




So take the easy way out instead of doing the right thing?




define "life"

here is mine.


According to Websters

c : an organismic state characterized by capacity for metabolism, growth, reaction to stimuli, and reproduction

A fetus fits that definition in all regards.

A choice is there for everyone. Keep the baby or give it up for adoption. Before that you have other choices. Use protection or use hope. Before that you have other choices. Have sex or dont have sex. I see 3 very reasonable choices without even considering abortion.
You speak of adoption as if its an easy alternative. Pregnancy and giving birth are life altering experiences. Most law makers seem flexible about allowing abortions for rape victims. That unborn child didnt chose his entry into the world either. The basis of that decision to allow abortions for a rape victim is the behalf of the mother not enduring that traumatic experience. Is it any less of a burden for the 16 year old girl who is still in highschool? the college student? someone who just started an internship? ect ect..... Having to drop out of school or miss out on a job opportunity could potentially change someone's life. Why should the government make this choice? they fuck up a lot of less important choices for americans, why do we want to continue to put our lives in their hands? The only person who should decide whether or not to give birth is the mother.

They should collect the names of all the anti-abortion activists and have selections like jury duty for them to accept infants that are given up for adoption. You want to force choices on someone else, choices should be forced on you.
