    Cause it needs to be a choice. Forcing someone to be born into a family that didn’t want them is recipe for disaster.

      Choice of whom ?? The child who should be given a chance to live or adults who want to kill a child because they want to play god ?

      Why not give the child to a childless couple that wants a child ?

        Sure as soon as all the current kids in the system are adopted to loving homes, Then you may convince me that this is an option.

        Growing up unwanted or just flat out poor is haunting. I recall an episode of naked and afraid where a dude in his 50s is still working through being put into the system because his mom gave him up. Have some empathy for the people who suffer there entire lives because their parents didnt get a choice.

            Can’t kill what never existed. That’s the point. It was never a person. Never had the chance to be one.

                A wanted child deserves protection because it will be a person. an unwanted does not because it will never be one thanks to modern medicine.
