Bold is mine, too lazy to split this into multiple quotes.
I personally am against abortion in its entirety. Truth be told, if you don't want a baby, don't have sex. It's a very simple solution.
A lot of the time, sex ed is low-quality and people don't really learn about the many dangers. Also, even condoms can break, though it's rare.
As for rape cases which everyone brings up when this topic is brought up, if I remember correctly, there's only like a few days per month a women can get pregnant. So figure those chances in with the relatively low amount of rapes, and there's very few children that would be produced from it.
That's AT LEAST 50 children per year in the States alone, actually. AT LEAST. Really quite likely to be more than a hundred. I did the math. Which is relatively small, yes, but I'd say it's too big to justify.
I see no reason why they can't be put for adoption. People try to argue then "oh the child will have a sucky life." There's probably more non-adopted children with a sucky life than adopted ones.
Which still doesn't make it okay to give them terrible lives. A terrible life is one in which you rarely know happiness. For those of us who don't believe in the afterlife, that means that one will practically never be happy. I mean, certainly some adopted children end up happy. I know from experience. But it can really fuck somebody up to know that their parents got rid of them.
AND, if you take into account the fact that carrying a baby and giving birth to it is just hell, AND that the person doesn't even get anything out of it and is just giving it up to some other people who may or may not even be good parents, you might realize why many would rather just abort.
