Adoption is not an alternative to abortion.

116. My birth control failed.

I was working at a gas station for 8 bucks an hour, and had previously given birth to a child who died of a genetic disorder. I was told that there was no test for Zellwegers syndrome pre-birth, you have to do a liver biopsy and wait a few months for results that may be inconclusive. I was having similar problems with my pregnancy that I had before. I could not take the chance that I would spend another year watching my babies body fail her. I could not watch another child die. Had an abortion.

It's nobodies business what choice I make, and I didn't need somebody to advise me to think about adoption. It's nobodies business what decisions women make with their bodies.
People who think they know shit, judge situations without knowing shit.
You are right, by the way. Adoption is not an alternative to abortion. Taking a chance giving birth is an alternative to abortion. I almost died every time I gave birth, I bleed and bleed. The doctors said I was lucky to be pregnant in the modern age or they would not have been able to save me. A lot of women still die in childbirth. I had a friend who died of infection a few years back after giving birth to her fifth baby, her boyfriend talked her out of having an abortion. He took her choice from her and she died to make him happy.
