The only situations I've seen brought up is the mother not wanting it for whatever reason and unsafe sex. Are you saying that in those cases you honestly believe the child would prefer to have been aborted? Would have been "kinder"? Because I can tell you, even on my worse days, that's far from it.

Here I'm not talking about the girl, I'm asking what you meant concerning the child.
Okay I went to work, calmed down, came back, and here we go again.

Honestly I don't think the "child" would prefer anything considering an embryo has no brain and therefore no conciousness. It can't prefer a thing.

Listen I don't know for sure if your "I know now that some guys will make better fathers than some girls will make mothers" comments were directed at me but I have a feeling they were. However this is why I believe you are wrong, you see it comes down to whether the child is wanted. Some women are going to be much better mothers to a wanted child than an unwanted one, and there are some that are going to be bad mothers to both. It has nothing to do with whether a woman will adopt her child or not.

I'm trying so hard to control myself, I just can't stand it when you say that you have a deeper connection to this topic than a woman does. You are not a survivor of abortion (and there are some out there). You were unwanted yes, guess what so was my mother. Her parents were 17 she was unexpected but they kept her and had three more kids later. She doesn't go around saying she has this deep connection to the abortion topic. If we were talking adoption, I'd be all for you. But not this.
