I know that adoption isn't always a safe, sane option. By no means did I intend the above list of scenarios to be exhaustive, either. Adoption is a poor option these days for many children because, well, the screening process for adoptive parents is nowhere near as rigorous as it was when I was adopted as I understand it, nor are the requirements the same from one place to another.
I also don't believe that life begins at conception. However, to me an embryo is a *potential* life, and thus I would be reluctant to abort one, regardless of the stage in which it is, gestationally-speaking.
I suppose my views can be summed up as "I am pro-choice because we live in an imperfect world." :P
