In reply to the discussion: Q for ‘Pro-Lifers’: How many kids have you ADOPTED from [View all]Kellerfeller
(397 posts)and you simply cannot risk having a kid, then "just say no" is probably the answer. Most people are willing to accept some risk. Some are willing to accept a lot.
The case you described (and thanks for taking the time) is tough.
First, there are several organizations that help support pregnant women who are willing to give their child up for adoption. I would think that giving their kid a chance in life would always be a better option than ending it.
Adoption also solves the daycare (and many other problems). The abusive situation is something she needs to get out of regardless. And it doesn't sound like she can easily afford it either way. And most people/organizations are even more willing to help a pregnant woman than just a single one.
Also, most women can continue working up until the last month..
thanks for the thoughtful discussion instead of getting irrational like some do on this topic.
