Adoption: the Alternative to Abortion

A woman is more than a fetus. Though a woman might be pregnant with a child, she is still her own person and has every right to decide what she wants to do with her body. Many people argue that having an abortion can be emotionally damaging, however, so can abortion. Women develop an emotional bond with a child when they carry it through the full term and go through an experience of delivery. Giving up that child for adoption might be the only reasonable option for a young girl too immature or poor to raise a child. However, that woman has to live with a feeling of abandoning their child for the rest of her life. In my opinion, having an abortion can be psychologically damaging to a woman; however, giving up a child from adoption is a great deal worse.

If the women did not want the child it could lead to an abortion, which is the murder of an innocent baby. Surely no human being could say that murder is okay. Even if the women gave up her baby for adoption, that baby is going to have a chance of being in the system, having a hard life of poverty, or feeling empty or upset because their birth parents did not want them. Therefore is much more effective to prevent the pregnancy.

Adoption is the best option out there because it gives unborn babies an opportunity for a better life, and to be able to see, and become successful human beings. In the article “Stop calling abortion a ‘difficult decision”, by Janet Haris, is the president of

Just like abortion the mother is able to return to her previous life rather than parent the baby when choosing adoption. There are many parents that are struggling with infertility, and adoption allows their dream of starting a family to become a reality. (adopt) There are parents wanting to adopt, while at the same time there are approximately 1.1 million unnecessary abortions happening throughout the U.S. (for life).Which just shows how common unneeded abortions are happening. Despite the belief that birth mothers are mostly teenagers, women who pursue adoption are of varying ages, races, and levels of education.(adopt) Not only is abortion killing the baby it is also can cause great emotional pain for the mother afterwards. It is called post abortion syndrome. It’s a form of post-traumatic stress and includes symptoms like the feeling of guilt, anxiety, depression, and even sometimes the thoughts of suicide. In some cases it can affect the way the woman lives the rest of her life.(action news) That’s another reason why adoption is the right choice and abortion should be illegal. Even the 14th amendment was designed to protect human beings like the

The train station itself portrayed the option on whether to have the abortion or not. The authored established two sets of tracks on both sides of the train station. Each tracked presented options for the couple to choose from. For example, the first track showed beautiful green grass, with tress, a field full of grains, wide river, and huge mountains which represented paradise if they have the operation. On the other hand, the other side of the track showed the life they live now. The life they were living involved them traveling around the world, drinking beers, and staying in hotels. This symbolize the life they will continue to have if they procced with the

The definition of being a human has many variations, perceptions, and opinions, creating debate and conflict surrounding the controversial area of abortion. According to the Criminal Code of Canada a child becomes a human being within the meaning of this Act when it has completely proceeded, in a living state, from the body of its mother, whether or not, it has breathed, has independent circulation, or the naval string is severed (Fisher, 2013). Although this is the current law, restrictions are beginning to be sought for, especially in regards to genetic disorders and abortion. Now more than ever our society faces a pressure in the pursuit of perfectness, and anything outside of the binary is not generally accepted. Like gender selective abortion,

Choosing to go through an abortion and placing a child up for adoption are quite different matters to analyze. Simply, going through with an abortion is murder by killing a child. Where as, if you were to put a child up for adoption you are giving that child a chance to live. Enduring an abortion may to some people be a convenience; abortion is a quick way of dealing with this problem. Adoption can be seen as a long and grueling process. However, they are both mentally damaging; in both cases the parents, or parent have to give up a child and a life. In some adoption cases some people choose to take back their child; but for others the decision is indefinite. Both situations must be seriously considered and measured.

I know there are a lot of oppositions on choosing adoption as opposed to abortion, like it’s a women’s body, she should be able to do whatever she wants with it, but she is carrying another human being, who has its own heartbeat, DNA, fingerprints, and other things. Adoption is a wonderful option, it gives people who are longing to be parents that ability and people who are not ready to be parents can give the babies a better life with people who will truly love them and take care of them. If a woman gets pregnant while in school and she puts the baby up for adoption, she is more likely to finish school and get a degree so that when she reunites with her birthchild she will be able to show them that she chose adoption to better the child’s life and her

With technological advances of today, parents who are unable to substantially procreate are now given the opportunity to bear children. New techniques for procreation include Artificial Insemination, Surrogacy and In-Vitro Fertilization, all which have brought about happiness to families. Unfortunately, at the same time many of these new reproductive techniques may bring about ethical considerations and debates, causing pain and legal arguments. All of these ethical considerations warrant governmental and contractual regulation as a way of guidance in handling these situations.

“Unplanned pregnancies can halt a woman's career, education, as well as other goals that they may desire to achieve in life.” Having a child takes a lot of responsibility and maturity. While most mothers choose to keep the child despite the circumstances, mothers always have options. They could choose between keeping the child, aborting the child, or giving the child up for adoption. I believe that if someone has chosen not to keep their baby, adoption is the next best thing. When adopting a child there are several advantages for both the adopted child and their adoptive family.

There is many different ways you can get rid of your baby without ending its life. Some women do not want to keep the baby because of financial situations or other personal reasons, so they chose to abort. This is not a very good reason, because under no circumstances should a baby be aborted because they are unwanted or unable to be taken care of emotionally or financially. Why abort a baby that is much wanted by so many. It may seem easier to abort the baby so they will not be attached to it, but imagine how happy a woman can make someone with a gift of a child. The baby can easily be given up for adoption. There is so many foundations that take in children so that someone else that wants a child can adopt them. So many women who cannot have a baby would adopt from a mother who can and they are so grateful for the birth mother. This also goes for couples who want to adopt because they cannot or do not want to have a baby on their own. It would be such a blessing to them to receive a baby in the first place, but it would make them feel even better to know they saved a baby’s life right before it was about to be aborted. Adoption is an option and should be taken under strong consideration by a mother who does not want her

The Washington Post article “Abortion and the Adoption Option: What the Numbers Show About Women's Choices” says, “The National Committee for Adoption said that there are between 1 million and 2 million qualified couples in the U.S. who have expressed interest in adopting a baby, which means at least 40 potential families for each baby offered for adoption.” (Reid). These parents could offer loving homes to these infants, which is a better alternative than to end the child's life before birth. Some people might argue that even if the mother’s life is at risk, she can give birth and let her baby have a wonderful life with deserving parents. Some people claim that abortion is a selfish decision, because the mother values her life more than that of the person inside of her. No guarantees exist that the mother would be fine even after having an abortion, so it wouldn’t hurt to be brave and take the

If you have had an abortion these symptoms may take effect, if you have any of these side effects after having an abortion contact your doctor immediately, Severe abdominal and back pain that prohibits you from standing up, Bleeding that is heavier than a normal menstrual period, Foul-smelling discharge, Fever above 100.4 F. Abortion is the removal of an embryo or fetus from the uterus in order to end a pregnancy. Abortion should be banished because, Why not put it up for adoption, why pay the money to abort, she could have raised it.

The choice between adoption and abortion changes millions of lives every day. Some advocates of abortion feel if the mother of the child thinks that she will not be a good parent or thinks she will harm the child, that she has the right to abort the child. Abortion is a life changing decision and has the reputation of being an easy way out of an unwanted pregnancy. Adoption, on the other hand, is one way for a woman who is not prepared to be a parent to provide her child the best life possible without being involved in the child’s life. According to national estimates, one million children in the United States live with adoptive parents and from 2% to 4% of American families include an adopted
