If you don't want the baby that badly / can't take care of it, there's plenty of families looking to adopt.

Who are you or anyone else to say when it is acceptable or not! Don't attempt to thrust your opinions down the throats of others! It is not your decision, and never should be, what others do in that situation! Face it - in the modern world - abortion will always be an option - the date just needs lowering!

The adoption argument is weak to say the least and shows that people that make such comments have absolutely no understanding of the situation.

There may be quite a few adoptive families at the moment - but if women were forced to have babies they didn't want - there soon wouldn't be enough families to go around, and older children looking for families wouldn't get a look-in as everyone would want babies. What about those that couldn't get good adoptive families - what happens to them - institutions! What a great start in life that would be!

The unsafe practice of illegal abortions would rear its ugly head again and many women and babies would die! All because some people think THEIR principles are what is important!
