Ok I'm going to be a bit harsh now. I am also going to generalize a bit.
I personally believe that women who give their children up for adoption are the strongest women you will ever meet. It takes such an amount of strength and courage to give up a child you have carried to term. I could never do it and I admire every woman who is able to.
Women who get abortions are the second strongest (again generalization not counting people who do misuse the right). The decision to have an abortion is so incredibly hard. And so many people think that all the mother is thinking about is herself but I don't think that can be farther from the truth. More than anything that mother is thinking about the quality of life her child would have. Or the effect having the child would have on her family, or the father of the baby. I think that those women who make the decision to do it are incredibly brave.
Lastly there are the women specifically in bad situations that decided to keep the baby. I'm talking about teenagers who have been thrown out of their house, or women with no money, or that have a lot of kids already that they are struggling to support. I truly believe that women in these situations that keep their child are weak, and selfish. Because the only reason they are doing it is because of their feelings. Because they would feel to guilty if they did anything else. It doesn't matter if they can't actually afford a child, it doesn't matter if it would keep them from getting an education or a job that could then help them support future children. I'm not saying it doesn't work out, it does sometimes. But there are plenty of times where it doesn't. I think women who are in those specific situations make a mistake when they choose to keep their child. However I would NEVER deny those women that choice. Because yes there's always a chance that everything could work out and if they decide to take that chance then that's their perogative. But for those not willing to chance the bad happening. For those women who choose to end one pregnancy so that they can get their lives together to maybe have more children in the future, that's just as much their right.
