Abortion vs. Adoption

Paper Summary:

This paper presents the argument that a woman faced with an unplanned pregnancy should ultimately feel more comfortable giving her baby up for adoption than having an abortion. It argues that the mother should feel happier knowing the child would be brought up by a loving family than killing the unborn child.

From the Paper:

"In addition, the woman who decides to give a baby from an unplanned pregnancy up for adoption is giving the greatest gift of love she possibly can not only to the baby that she feels she cannot adequately raise or love, but also to the family who seeks a child for adoption. The mother who gives her baby up for adoption knows that her baby is above all a wanted baby by the adopting family. She can know for the rest of her life that she was able to give a special gift to someone that many cannot or will not do. And she can have closure with the baby in that way, knowing that the adoptive families are screened in a way that natural pregnancies can never be, and she can be secure in the fact that she did what was likely the best for herself and for her baby. In conclusion, it would appear that despite all statistics to the contrary, it is most likely easier for any woman in the long run to give an unwanted baby up for adoption rather than abortion."
