These groups have campaigned against legal reforms to make contraception more freely available. They also oppose sex education and school programmes to prevent child sexual abuse. Making contraceptives and abortion available only encourages teenagers to have sex. Teenage sex has complex societal causes. Reality dictates that birth control and abortion be available to help prevent teenagers from becoming parents.
Adoption is a better alternative to abortion.
A woman should be able to decide for herself. Some women do choose adoption, but many more choose single parenthood. Adoption is a difficult route for anyone to take, and it is not fair to demand that women carry a pregnancy for 9 months and then give away a baby. Many women feel they could not do this and no one has the right to force a woman to do so. For a married woman, giving a baby up for adoption is virtually impossible legally.
