Abortions destroy about 1.1 million unborn babies’ lives every year. Unfortunately, for an unplanned or difficult pregnancy our modern society’s first solution is abortion. Today, families spend around thousands on infant adoptions, there are up to 36 couples waiting for every one baby placed for adoption. Adoption is not a rational option for all pregnant women.There are million infertile couples in many states who are actively trying to adopt a child. Due to the culture of abortion the basic problem is the growing scarcity of babies. Adoption is a choice that certain women enter into happily who doesn’tdesire to keep their babies. Since the dawn of time there have been sterile couples longing for a family and pregnant women who could not parent the child in their wombs. Adoption is not an easy decision for a woman. Both adoption and abortion can lead to intense guilt, grief and stress for birth mothers forlosing their child. Most of the women consider abortion and parenting because of the fear and pain of “giving up” their child.Abortion industries often betray women to get their unborn babies aborted. The abortion industry’s claims that abortion will be easier and less painful than adoption.Women often realizing too late that their unborn baby’s life will be destroyed forever. Some women find abortion to be curse and rule it out among their options for an unwanted pregnancy.Behind the mirage of no consequences abortion stand thousands and thousands of families with throbbing, empty arms. Some girls and women would jeopardize their health if they carried a baby to term. Many people consider it is immoral to coerce a woman to carry a pregnancy she does not want, especially if that pregnancy is a result of rape.The abortion industries are working and encouraging abortions for their profit-driven motives.Neither the life nor the decisions surrounding parenting are easy. Such industries does not care that its business has a ripple effect of suffering, not just on the unborn babies and mothers, but on infertile couples, grandparents and so many others.Adoption can be a tough option for birth mothers, but it’s a loving one that brings joy, hope and love to children and families that abortion never could.The available research on adoption’s relative disapproval is still limited. But the sociological studies that exist submit that some women who are determining between adoption and abortion find adoption to be more emotionally painful than abortion. And the reason obscures the narrative around abortion on both sides. Adoption was frequently ruled out because they felt it was not right for them, because their partner would not be concerned, because they had health reasons for not wanting to carry to term, or because they believed there were already enough children in need of homes. For years women struggles to forget her aborted child. His memory haunts her all days. Seeing children that would have been my aborted child’s age overwhelmed her.In the study, several women articulated an unwillingness to part with a baby they had carried to term and given birth to. The thought of one’s child being out in the world without knowing whether it was being taken care of or who was taking care of it was more guilt inducing than having an abortion. Number ofwomen consider adoption but concludes that it was a morally unconscionable option because giving one’s child away is wrong. Adoption plans are regularly formulated by post-abortive women in succeeding unexpected pregnancies. These mothers have realized the Spiritual, emotional, psychological and physical impact and cannot endure such a deeply traumatizing choice again. Although the general public interprets adoption as a good outcome for the child and the adopting family, the idea that adoption promotes the woman’s best interests is not as fully embraced by those that are on the front lines of options counseling or by the mother herself or her family. The reason the women don’t select adoption is not great for the pro-choice side, either. Some of the womensay that they feel bonded with their fetuses, or at least too involved to give up the resulting baby. That’s antroublesome point if you feel that a fetus is nothing more than a collection of cells, and that what happens to it before viability is basically immaterial.
