Good article. Surprisingly balanced for "Time"

I just wish that they would have given some space to adoption. An unplanned pregnancy does not have to be a financial burden on anyone. There are plenty of resources to get someone through the pregnancy and then the baby can be given to another family. The waiting list can be years for families who want to adopt. It's sad that we have families going to China and Russia to adopt children. We were very blessed and only waited a year to adopt our youngest son. More attention needs to be given to the ridicules rules and regulations that make adoption more difficult and more expensive than it needs to be.

Planned Parenthood's Von Unwerth brought in examples of its literature and argued that some of it was misleading and out of date. She points to one brochure that is still in use called "You're Considering an Abortion: What Can Happen to You?" It warns, "Your next baby will be twice as likely to die in the first few months of life" and "After an abortion you may become sterile."

I do know several young women who prematurely delivered their babies and the babies did not survive or are unable to conceive. The common factor in their lives is that they had an abortion(s).
