My only gripe with adoption is that it can only work to such an extent.

If you throw every single unwanted child into adoption, you're going to have HUGE numbers of kids in foster homes. Eventually, the majority of these children will never even find homes. Parents don't want to adopt kids, they want to adopt INFANTS. The older the kids get, the less likely they'll be adopted...Plus, there is going to be far more children available than people asking for them.

I also hate the argument that people "shouldn't be having sex in the first place." Because people ARE having sex, and it's not going to stop. So you need to find a way to work with it, not prevent it.

However, Josh, in terms of the ethics of abortion, I would have to agree with you.

...If somehow I would get my girfriend pregnant...I would strongly urge her to keep the baby. For all the points above...I don't want to give up my kid, no matter what.

..However, I understand not everyone holds this same view as me. Is it my place to FORCE everyone else to do the same thing I would do? No, I don't think so. I understand everyone's situation is different, and I don't think the same solution is the way to go every time.
