That seems like a fallacious, and dangerous, argument to make. What's the difference between that and asking: How many descendants of World War II's millions of victims might now be suffering? Maybe wars in general do future generations a favor by sparing so many a possibility of life? To suggest that abortion is preferable to adoption because the child MIGHT suffer by his adoptive parents seems similarly unjustified and potentially harmful as policy, personal or otherwise.
Comparing abortion to genocide? Really?
What adoptive parents? They kids I mentioned were not adopted. Those were real cases about real kids and their biological parents.

Any parent who is considering getting an abortion because they don't want to raise a child is probably a person who shouldn't be forced to raise a child. For really obvious reasons.
There are exceptions, sure, but this is something I know both first- and second-hand.
I think adoption is appropriate, why is it not? Sure I understand the having to carry it, and it seems like such a waste. It almost seems selfish to me.
(If I don't want it no one else can have it) kind of mentality but I understand the struggle.
Yep. Those selfish bitches. You don't understand the struggle or anything else. You might as well shut up while you still feel smart.
