I agree that folks should adopt more, I agree that young women shouldn't be reduced to slavery by their womb but I oppose abortion and...contrary to the vast majority of my feminist friends, I think that is the correct position for a feminist but that's another subject.

What I am basically saying is a male that says he is against a womans right to choose, yet has not adopted a child that was to be aborted, does not hold the moral high ground in a discussion. If you really believe a life is being taken then go save it... Thats what I am saying.

If you have done so, I have the ultimate respect for your position as I think abortion is horrible, but a very difficult ethical problem quite obviously. I cannot possibly go up to a woman and say to her face, you must have that child, I will adopt the child. I am not in a position to say that. Therefore I will not attempt to interject my personal feelings on her more dire decision. I would feel like I had absolutely no right to speak to the woman face to face, or yell at her and call her a killer. Thats chicken sh it.

Walk the walk. Its very simple. One can oppose a position. Thats easy. But could you actually take the step and adopt a child that was to be aborted. I could not. Therefore I can oppose anything I want, but my standing I believe would be way down the scale as I have not taken action. I would be all talk with no walk.
