"JOURNEY OF THE ADOPTED SELF: THE PRENATAL SELF

Keep in mind that that's just ONE book.

If the parents are unfit financially, physically, etc. there is no legitimate reason for them to give the child up for abortion rather than adoption. At least this way they're giving life and providing a better opportunity than taking life away.

I can expect the fear of what may have happened, because, believe me that is the dual side of the coin. Adoptees also feel that, that eternal wondering of where their parents may be and how they are. I'm willing to bet if someone took a survey of orphans and adoptees - the vast majority would say they're happy to be alive rather than dead.

As for why I'm the embryo? Because it's something I feel inside me. I don't have memory in the sense of the common definition, but I do have feelings that can't be explained away in any other sense - this is an intense feeling for a woman I've never even seen. There has to be something that explains this and books do, in fact, explain this as I have provided the sample for above. Those who live with their natural parents, never have to question intensely their origins and that moment in their life - thus, in effect, they have lost that moment in time that others are bound to. Upon reuniting, it is also stated that some significantly regress back to the state of being a child - once again, this is for a woman that according to you they have "no memory" of... which makes no sense at all in your terms.

I have never spoken one word against rape victims. I have never called them weak. Only that I believe it would be more psychologically draining for them to abort than to give the child up for adoption. I'd say the rape would stick with her, but you add that on top of the possible guilt she may feel after the abortion? I seriously think it would haunt her a lot more for the rest of her life.

I don't try to be a dictator, even though it may seem that way. I just talk strongly especially concerning things that I am deeply connected to. You can choose whether you want to agree or not, but I'll always speak my mind without holding back.

Honey I dare you to find one woman who had an abortion after being raped and getting pregnant who feels guilty about it.
