umm, look into the foster care system, there are TONS of kids who are NOT able to find homes. There are NOT plenty of families wanting to take these kids in.

Where do you guys get this idea that there are so many perfect families willing to take in kids, and not enuf kids to satisfy them. It's the exact oppossite i'm sorry to tell you.

I agree with this too though. Adoption is always parading as a definitive over option, when most of the time the child wil just spend time in a home for years waiting for family. Adoption can't just be viewed as an easy option which it often is viewed as

That may be true but that still doesn't detract from the fact that there are many people out there who will take in a child.

As I said earlier, even if there is a substantial difference between ≥24 weeks and ≤23 weeks, that fetus should be given the chance to develop into a living being (assuming that it already isn't). Getting rid of a (potential) life because of school or whatever is just shallow. If someone's going to have sex, they should at least be prepared to face the consequences and realise that out of that may emerge a life being formed.

The current foster care system isn't perfect, sure (it's seldom that anything in life is), but if you don't want a child, then why not just abstain from sexual intercourse, if the system's overflowing?
