New Iowa Law Restricts Abortion To Before Most Women Know They're Pregnant

Just as an example as to why it's not the cure-all Pro-lifers tend to think it is, not an absolute rule. The assumption is that adoption will be a better life for a baby than living in a home that can't handle it. The Berkowitz case is an example of why this is not always true. Yes, it is an extreme case, but it does undermine the Pro-life point. There may be some cases where absolutism works, but it simply cannot work for all cases. That was the whole point I've been trying to hammer throughout not only that post, but the entire thread. It's not "don't send your babies up for adoption because he could grow up to be a serial killer." It's that adoption is not the panacea many think it is.

I don't think anyone ever claimed adoption cures the serious mental problems that Berkowitz had.
