[Peace-discuss] Obama gets another one right

[Marti Wilkinson]

For people who didn't want to have a baby, wouldn't adoption be better than
ending a human life? --CGE

That is not always the case here. For some women adoption is an option they
are willing and able to consider. I know a young woman who engaged in an
open adoption so she is able to be involved in her sons life along with his
adoptive parents. This is something that has worked out well.

By that same token there are women who, for whatever reason, do not wish to
carry a pregnancy to term. In that instance I still believe that abortion
needs to be both a safe and legal alternative.
