I'm not upset at all. I'm actually interested in what everyone has to say. A good debate can be very refreshing, sometimes. Anyways, back on subject - I understand that many adoption agencies are poor and failing, and many children either take years to find a home or don't find one at all. But that still doesn't wrap my mind around that it's ok to abort a child. It's one heart beat that's being stopped, and one life you'll never get back. I don't hate the mothers for doing what they think is right, but I do think it's a poor choice they make. I know it's a very serious issue and I know a lot of women who get abortions end up either depressed or very regretful - and like I said, you can't take it back.

I know it's a decision that MOST women don't take lightly, but even afterwords they might face regret. Although it's her body, the baby has it's own body, too, in some cases. By 7 weeks, it starts looking like something other than a blob of cells and has an actual body. By 10 weeks, it starts taking on a human looking image. A /majority/ of women don't find out they're pregnant until after the 3rd or 4th week. Yes, it's her body. But that thing growing inside her is not.
