I think that your characterization of women who choose to have abortions as being purely selfish is very unfair. Pregnancy is difficult and expensive. Adoption and raising a child even more so. How can you say they are selfish?
cultureshift:
Selfishness is…
…killing your own child because pregnancy is difficult.
…killing your own child because pregnancy is expensive.
…killing your own child because adoption is difficult.
…killing your own child because raising your child is expensive.
Now do you see why I can say they are selfish? A mother, above all others, should place her child above her own self interests. To do otherwise is to deprive your child of someone who should be their most faithful advocate and trusted ally in life.
