I'm not saying that those who get pregnant have to raise the child, it would probably be painful for many in that scenario - a constant reminder. I can understand that. What I can't seem to grasp is why anyone would choose abortion over adoption.
Have to stress again, I'm a guy that was born from an unplanned pregnancy from a woman who couldn't keep me because she was poor and my father had run off, so she couldn't provide the life she wanted for me. I'm the opposite side of the coin from abortion, so I guess that's why this is a really intense subject for me. I know what can happen from sex, I'm the evidence of it, it's shaped my life - due to that, being born out of a mistake, I'm responsible in how I live my life. Adoption always over abortion unless there's possibility of pain for the child, always.

Well I will explain it to you.
1. It is not safe for young girls to go through with pregnancies, they can have complications, they can be kicked out of their house and left with no support, and the fathers rarely stick around.
2. Do you know how much it costs to have a child? Some how I don't think so since you seem to just write it off.
3. Physical and emotional pain. On the emotional side, it is VERY hard for a woman to give up a child and I applaude the women who are able to do it. However some people might not have that strenght and they may intend to give the child up and may end up keeping said child when they really can't take care of it, that is not good for the child.
Having an abortion is taking responsibility. For the women who do it it's the right decision for them. And it's their decision. Abortion is NOT an easy way out, it is a very hard thing for them to do, ask any woman who's had one.
As for your "proof". Let's say I believe you when you say you remember being in the womb. Do you happened to know exactly how far along you were. Because you may very well remember, however that brain activity probably didn't start until after the time when the majority of abortions are carried out. So it's not really proof of anything.
