You started by saying you have healthy children, which is why I think that an abortion of convenience is wrong. We have adoptive and child support services ready to take care of an infant in place.
Oh, so you meant the fact that I could have children, not raise them. They are two entirely different things.

I'm sorry, but I think your attitude is flippant and makes use of no perspective other than your own narrow beliefs. You don't even bother to try and understand the perspective of a woman (or teen) who is dealing with the anxiety and fear of an unwanted pregnancy. In your opinion they should just be able to carry it, give birth and walk away. La, la, la. I really don't have much to say to that.
