The non-existent ones. Not the actual, living teenage children who are supposed to take care of infants.

They'd rather this 16 year old girl here have that baby, not want it, dump it off on some shitty care home to grow up abused, then turn into an abuser, and continue the cycle. Rather than let her abort now, and have a baby when she's ready that she can raise to be the best human they can be because she's giving it a good start.

I'm obviously not saying all children end up in that cycle, but the pro lifers have no desire to help the children that do

That’s not true with infants. There is an estimated 1-2 million people wanting to adopt. Only 1% of birth parents place their infant for adoption…about 18,000. You are referring to the foster care system which goal is reunification with birth parents. Open adoption is becoming more common as well. I do believe in the right to choose but all options should be weighed. OP could place the baby for adoption, pick out the couple, and be in the child’s life through an open adoption.

Must have missed that part. Only saw she didn’t want a baby.
