'Pro-Choice' Americans At Record Low, Poll Finds

83. I'm Pro-abortion, too!

I'm so glad to hear someone else label themselves that way. I think abortion should be the number 1 choice made by certain people, and I think they should be encouraged to have one. Those people are:
- children under 15, and are likely to have an unhealthy child
- drug abusers with no means of non-government financial support, and are likely to have an unhealthy child
- homeless with no means of non-government financial support, and are likely to have an unhealthy child
- women who are unwilling to raise their children, and are likely to have an unhealthy child
- women with more than 2 children and no means of financial support, and are likely to have an unhealthy child
- women for whom a pregnancy would be unhealthy and they are not willing to take care of themselves or the fetus
- women who do not wish to raise their children and for whom a pregnancy is a hindrance to work

I admit that for most of these individuals, adoption is a possible option if the child will be healthy. However, in many of these cases, the child may be malnourished. I would be happier if these women had adoptive parents lined up by the 2nd trimester.

OK, maybe I should restate this. I believe in adoption, but I also believe that abortion should be the option of any woman who wants it, no matter the reason, and for any woman who might not be willing to take care of HER OWN health or the fetus's health, abortion makes more sense than adoption. For children, I believe that abortion should be the number one option because pregnancy is likely to disrupt school.
