Abortion should be illegal

You said babies rarely enter foster care but this is untrue. While yes, adoptions can occur through private agencies, a large number of them also occur through the foster care system. In which children are placed in the system and then fostered and/or adopted. "More than 60% of children in foster care spend 2-5 years before being adopted. Some never get adopted." https://adoptionnetwork.com... You also said how women get to control who adopts the child though this is completely untrue. W Omen giving up their children sign contracts relinquishing parental rights and then after giving birth, give away the child without any say. If they were to decide they do not trust the adoptive parents anymore, it would be too late as they are legally not the parent anymore. Are fetuses alive? I would argue they are not. A good argument made by the Supreme Court (during Roe v Wade) is this: "Personhood begins after a fetus becomes "viable" (able to survive outside the womb) or after birth, not at conception. [31] [32] Embryos and fetuses are not independent, self-determining beings, and abortion is the termination of a pregnancy, not a baby. A person's age is calculated from birth date, not conception, and fetuses are not counted in the US Census. The majority opinion in Roe v. Wade states that "the word 'person,' as used in the Fourteenth Amendment [of the US Constitution], does not include the unborn." If something is not viable, I would not argue it has rights. You also talked about how now we have to question children and teens with disabilities and whether they are human. Of course they are, they have been born and are living. However, a fetus has not been born, it is not independent, and as the Supreme Court said, no one starts counting age until birth. "Adoption may often be rocky but it doesn't ruin people's lives. I believe that the idea of something being life ruining is far over used. Even abused people can recover and in the end lead healthy lives. Abortion as a solution to a problem such as abuse is in my opinion, victim blaming. It isn't the child's fault for existing, it is the abusers fault for abusing." You say that adoption doesn't ruin people's lives and that abused people can in the end lead healthy lives. Are you saying that it is better to give birth to a child, give it up for adoption and hope for the best, and then the child is mistreated or to terminate the pregnancy before the fetus can think or feel? My original reasons for women choosing to end pregnancy were: "they are not ready to have a baby, can't support another being financially, and then there are the other cases where a woman is raped or giving birth will endanger their life." These women know that having a baby would ruin their life but also the life of the child. For one, the economic impact of having a kid is enormous. It is important to note that in areas where there is increased poverty, there is more accidental pregnancy due to bad sex education (or abstinence-only) or inadequate access to contraception. These women may be poor and cannot support a kid, they realize that giving birth is far worse than aborting. No one is saying that the fetus is to blame for all the women's problems. What we are saying is that aborting in many cases is the best option compared to giving birth. "I would like to save heath effects for later to increase our focus for now. How about round four?" That is completely fine by me, I think it's a good idea.
