I am not willing to go through with 9 months of pregnancy in order to give a baby up for adoption, because I'm not willing to put myself through the emotional trauma. My psyche isn't strong enough.
This, exactly. I can admire the strength of women who can sacrifice so much of themselves and be able to give up a child they can't raise, but I could never, ever do it.
IM(ns)HO, until there's a birth control option that's 100% effective and available to every woman in the world regardless of economic status (other than abstinence of course, which even the staunchest Catholics don't demand within a marriage), we have a moral imperative to ensure that abortion remains both legal and available. Banning abortion won't end abortion - it'll only end safe, medically monitored abortion.
