We are not going to keep our legs closed, as the reality of the population boom has shown.
Adoption, while theoretically a good idea, is harder to do than anything in the entire world. As a woman who has been carrying around your offspring, your hope for the world, the love of your live, for nine months, giving this living piece of love to someone else to raise can be impossible. Even if you have no hope whatsoever of giving your child anything remotely close to the life it deserves.
Some women think that it is a better choice not to put themselves through agony for the rest of their lives by either giving a child up for adoption or forcing their child to go through a life of horror due to an abusive family member, constant hunger, etc.
These women will have abortions. Most of these abortions will happen before the first flutters of fetuses inside wombs are felt. These abortions will happen regardless of the legality of abortions in the country these women are in. It is clear that legalized abortions help rather than hurt, as the women who get abortions are doing so not with shady "doctors," not with coat hangers, but in ways that allow them to live rather than die. And live the rest of their lives knowing that they made the best choice for their children.
