"Why do women opt for abortion over adoption ?"
"When contraception failed in my monogamous long term relationship , I heavily researched both options , as well as parenting . I looked into requirements for Medicaid , WIC , and other subsidized assistance offered in my community . I called a few clinics around town . That 's an interesting story , but not for here . I had heart to heart talks to many different people with different viewpoints . I decided to have an abortion because I was sick all the time . I had diagnosed migraine headaches constantly , and my seizure disorder that had laid dormant for years returned . I could n't leave my house . I lost my job . I was in the middle of my education ( it was early summer ) and if I continued my pregnancy it would have put me back a semester , thus costing thousands of dollars . The father did not want me to continue the pregnancy because he was concerned about my physical health . Just thinking about that time period makes me nauseated . I understood the merits of adoption , especially since my father was adopted . I talked to my aunt about adoption and foster care , since she has participated in both . I also thought about parenting , the love and all the things I have to offer . I knew that the father would have supported my decision to parent , I knew that our financial hardships could be dealt with , and I knew that my education could be continued later . I came to the conclusion that abortion was the best choice for me and my health . I appreciate that some may find this decision selfish , and essentially it is , since it was made with my best interests in mind . I would also hope that even if they consider it selfish , they understand the reasons why I made that decision . And if it was your wife , daughter , friend , and she was dealing with what I was , you would not expect her to continue a pregnancy ."
