[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Ungrateful brat" is trolling. It's emotionally loaded and inciting language, and it doesn't reflect reality.

What I suspect is more true is that women who are pregnant in circumstances or conditions that are incredibly painful to them will be more likely to opt for abortion than adoption now.

Not because they are picturing ungrateful whiny brats, or anything of the sort. I highly doubt that. I suspect they will just want to know the distressing circumstances just won't be continuing to be brought up in their future, over and over again, by anyone.

I also think adoption has always been sold as a happy ending for all involved and it’s clear to me that[b] even in the best situations with the best of intentions, there can still be a lot of pain on all sides.[/b][/quote]

Yes. Doesn't mean it's not the right answer for some people, but it is a more complicated and potentially fraught decision than it ever has been before. I would not be surprised if the number of women choosing to carry to term and place the baby for adoption goes down.[/quote]
