[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Telling people that any adoption is coercive painful and a societal disgrace leaves suicide abortion or infanticide as the only other alternatives for someone who does not want a baby and does not want to keep a baby.
Just saying. [/quote]

OP here.  Extensive research shows that very few women in the United States make a choice between adoption or abortion.  Given that abortion was relatively accessible until Roe was overturned, most women who wanted to end pregnancies ended them.  Among those unable to access abortion, only a tiny percentage choose to relinquish to adoption.  A woman’s first choice may have been to prevent pregnancy or end a pregnancy, but most women who carry a pregnancy to term have zero interest in relinquishing to adoption.  It is far, far too painful to have a child in the world and not parent that child.

Research shows that the vast majority of women who relinquish do so for economic reasons.  That’s why there is almost zero domestic infant adoptions in countries with a strong social safety net like those in Northern Europe.  With access to health care, maternity leave, housing, and child care, nearly zero mothers who choose to carry a pregnancy to term ever choose adoption.[/quote]
