Dana asked:
I am of the opinion that there are three kinds of people:
1. Those who would only raise their child themselves
2. Those who would either have an abortion or raise their own child
3. Those who would give their child up for adoption or raise it themselves.

I really don’t think there are many people out there who would consider all three options, therefore outlawing abortion wouldn’t make any significant impact on adoption rates. All it would do is increase the number of single mothers, teen mothers, and illegal abortions.
Are there more people out there who would give their baby up for adoption in the absence of safe, legal abortions than I think?
