Tampa Biz	Adoption for sure!! :) It is such a beautiful option. There are a lot of adults out there that want to have a family but can't due to whatever reason. When you choose abortion, it is not only ending one life, but a line of lives. My father was adopted. If he was aborted, I wouldn't be here now, my brother or my nephew. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

BPD Wife	For me personally, it's hard for me to imagine either case - because of being unable to conceive for so long. However, if forced to choose between one or the other, I would choose adoption. That being said, I still fully support a woman's right to choose. What I believe in or what I would choose, is not necessarily what someone else might want. It should be every woman's right to choose what is best for her in her own situation. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

janine k	As an adoptee I am forever grateful that my natural mother didn't abort me and as a relinquishing mother I did not even let the thought of an abortion pass through my mind Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Zuko	I would chose adoption... but I value my right to make that decision. I'm adopted, so I can't imagine ever aborting a child... however, I'm still pro-choice because I don't think anybody has the right to make that decision for me. I'd also like to add that I do NOT look down on anyone that chooses abortion. I've actually driven two friends to get abortions and been the coach for one who gave her child up for adoption. Like I stated earlier, it's every woman's choice and I would never EVER think I have a right to tell another woman what she should do wit her body, REGARDLESS of the circumstances surrounding her decision. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

dizzy1	abortion Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Nurse Autumn Intactivist NFP	Abortion, Children should not be created and then given away. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Independ"ant"	If abortion was the solution to stopping self centered people from contributing to trafficking, kidnapping, rapes, and murders of existing children by driving up the demand for international children than I would be for abortion 100% but then again it doesn't matter what I or you think because its a woman's right to choose. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Cass M	I am pro-abortion. I have adopted two children and I am very glad the birth mother had them. However each person there is a different circumstance. It is to be left up to the women. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Andraya	Abortion, abso-freaking-lutely, hands down. I would also like to add that I am sick and tired of people saying that abortion is only a right choice under the circumstance of rape. If you truly believe that abortion is wrong why does rape make it ok? The child has no say in who it's father was. If it is due to the trauma of the mother then what about other cases of trauma that result in pregnancy such as abusive relationships or what if the mother is traumatized by the very fact that she is pregnant. I HATE hypocritical people. Blech. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Sophie V	def. depends on the situation and age. if i were to get prego RIGHT now...id say abortion. i KNOW its wrong and blahblahblah. and plus when you adopt or give a baby up, youll always be wondering what the baby is doing, where it is, stuff like that. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

brittapworld	It would depend on the situation. I was raped and had delivered with my first. I got pregnant with a guy i was in love with but he decided to go back to Vietnam when he found out so I aborted it. I think adoption is the hardest! After you carry a child and nurture it while in the womb for 9 months, then go through the pain of labor and hear the childs first cry, then secretly knowing someone else will be taking care of your baby for the rest of their life, would be harder then terminating the pregnancy. Once you deliver your baby, the baby knows who the mother is by smell, the sound of your voice and by some other phenomenal attributes. I just think it would be hard to worry bout if the baby will resent you when they are older and it would definitely be hard on birthdays knowing you should openly be celebrating an amazing day but you cant because you dont want anyone to know.

Gaia Raain	My answer from a question that was asked three days ago: Ok, I'm going to just go ahead and state the obvious here: WHAT ABOUT PARENTING??? Now that that's out of the way, if it's a choice between adoption and abortion, and parenting is out of the question (I can't imagine why it would be, considering most of the reasons women give their children away are temporary and easily overcome, especially with all the help we have in today's society), then I'd have to say abortion is better. I disagree with abortion. I believe it's murder. But there's this whole thing that I keep hearing over and over again that adoption creates a situation where the child is made to feel grateful to these people who "saved them" for all eternity. Have you ever heard about that Eastern custom where if you save someone's life, they are indebted to you for the length of their life, unless they save YOUR life? Well, that's true. Did you also know that BECAUSE of this custom, it is not considered an option to save a person's life? They wouldn't subject their loved ones to a life of subservience to another person - a life of gratefulness. It is considered a kindness to allow the person to simply die, let their life end where nature intended (because they don't believe in killing, and I'd be willing to bet that abortion falls under that category for them...it's nature's way or no way), rather than to spend the remainder of their life a slave to another person. Speaking of nature's way...let's go back to this idea of parenting. What a world this would be if WE westerners lived by this philosophy. If you get pregnant, that's nature's way of telling you that you're ready to be a parent. And if you're infertile, it's nature's way of telling you that you get to spend your adult years being the cool Aunt that gives all your Mom-friends a break. And/or you get to be EVERYONE's God-mom, and if someone is unable to parent, then viola, you get to become the parent you always wanted to be - the ethical way. Man, I really am a crazy hippie chick, aren't I? All these weird ideas about "it takes a village" and "Eastern customs". Enough to drive an entitled PAP wild! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

celtic.piskie	I have sooooo many problems with adoption. I would never ever put a child through what i went through. I just wouldn't. But I've lose one daughter, and have a 3 month old gremlin daughter lol, so I really couldn't say. Unless I was in a situation, and had to make that descision, I really have no idea. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Swim Chic07	I would choose adoption all the way, every child deserves a chance in life. I don't believe in abortion, it is murder either way you look at it, you are killing someone. I would love to adopt a child later on in my life. Every child derserves a home to grow up in and be loved. No matter if you choose adoption or abortion you would wonder who that child would of been or is when they grow up. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
