It's unbelievable. I don't even think that people really believe that kids are better off dead than adopted; but they don't want to have to endure the social discomfort of having everyone know they're pregnant and aren't keeping the child. And hey-----it's legal to kill the little bugger so why not take the easy way out?

Actually I've seen surveys done of young women; especially college aged women which show that they DO believe that the child is better off dead. They don't want the baby, but they don't like the idea of NOT knowing what happened to the baby, if it were adopted out.

Not wanting anyone to know they're pregnant is likely a large part of it, too, I guess they don't want to admit THAT. It's just twisted.
