As a matter of fact, I *did* destroy their social life and am reminded by them of that from time to time. And I *DO* wish I had been aborted.
edit: That's why I strongly support abortion.
If a parent cannot raise their child in a healthy social environment, they should abort or give it up for adoption. Sure, it's nice and all to bring a life into this world, but what's the point if you're only going to raise it to feel like a miserable worthless piece of human being.

Based on data from the AFCARS Report, as of October 2000, there are about 568,000 children in foster care of which an estimated 118,000 are awaiting an adoptive placement. States need your help.

There are more children looking to be adopted than there are parents looking to adopt. I really don't think putting up a kid for adoption is the best solution because a) it burdens the government with taking care of a child you should have brought into the world prepared to care for and b) you shouldn't leave a child during important developmental stages after birth. I felt like pointing this out to the people who make it sound like it's the easiest solution and there are more parents looking to adopt than children.
Knowing there is an overflow of children up for adoption, and if I didn't think I could care for the child, I would definitely leave abortion as an option. It's one thing to disapprove of someone choosing to get an abortion or not, but I think it's wrong to deny someone the right to abortion. Ultimately, it's their right to decide and it's their body, no matter what your opinion is.
