I...Thanks, Juliana, for your very thoughtful reply. I agree that many women are perhaps pressured into abortions because they really have no other choice. Perhaps being Pro-choice should mean making other choices available to women, as you have written.<br /><br />We have been blessed with Anand because some woman was courageous enough to go through her pregnancy, and give him up for adoption, rather than choose the easier option of abortion. There are a number of women like that at this home, waiting out the final months of their pregnancies, giving birth, breastfeeding their babies for some time, and then giving them over for adoption, while they seek ways to re-enter society.<br /><br />I was also struck by your observation that pregnancy is not the only (or main) result of premarital sex, but seems to be the only consequence people are trying to avoid by promoting abortionsPradeephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07696126197283766968noreply@blogger.com
