re: Adoption

REB — 3/10/2004 12:52:48 PM (archived)

I do thank my natural mother for giving me up for adoption. Her other two options, keeping me or aborting me wouldn't have been too good for me. A 15 year old will have a hard time raising a baby by herself. And, of course, abortion would have been a bad thing for me. (Abortion was not legal back then)

That is one reason I can not support abortion. I would be a hypocrite if I did. This is also why I see it as murder, as it would have ended my life. I see no difference if I had been killed back then, or killed today.
