I don't see how anyone could strictly oppose abortion unless they are willing to adopt the unwanted children that would result.

As a society the determination of when a fetus is "alive" will never be resolved. You'll never convince me that 3 cells is a person, and I'll never convince you that a woman should utterly have the right to decide what to do with her own body.

All we can do is argue around the edges - and if you advocate any form of restriction of abortion on the basis of "pro-life" then I hope you are protesting every execution performed in the US, and have 10 adopted children at home. Otherwise you're a hypocrite.

The lesser evil between the abortion of a fetus, or a lifetime of being raised by the state, is the abortion IMO.
