People do selfish things all the time, but there is a substantial difference between wanting the responsibility of having a child and, say a puppy. You can have a puppy and still live a normal life but a baby changes everything and it is often easier, socially, physically, mentally and financially to have the abortion and try to put your mistakes behind you then to try and carry them for 9 months and grow attached to the baby inside you while letting everyone know about the pregnancy and having it effect your school, job, health, future.

I am not encouraging abortion (I am pro-choice) but there are definitely people that shouldn’t have children and many adoption/orphanages are messed up! If a child doesn’t get adopted as a young baby the chances of adoption reduce exponentially as the child ages or if it were born with a defect or any “issues” that baby is going to be a permanent child of the state.

If there are people out there that want children soooo bad let them adopt one of the millions that are currently looking for a family, rather than holding out for the perfect one to be born. Who is the selfish one again?


I would be curious to find out the racial stats of children put up for adoption and what race is adopting. I would bet race is a significant factor in the adoption decision. It would also be interesting to see who racially is getting abortions that would be available for adoption if not aborted.
