[quote=Anonymous]Can we please stop calling the members of this community (which includes several people who have struggled for years with IF) naive [pollyanna] if they disagree with you about this?

Yes adoption is hard...but no, I don't think that's a reason that a woman should carry her child to term.  That's the anti-life argument to a tee!!  I remember an entire anti-choice ad-campaign about that when I was in high school.

I think it's completely justified for OP to have complicated feelings surround this situation, and I'm glad this forum provides her an outlet to discuss them.  But it makes me sad that this is bringing out so many anti-choice sentiments...that are somehow justified by people claiming to be pro-choice except still talking about how horrible OP's friend is.  Many treatments that IF patients rely on like IVF are opposed by large swaths of the anti-choice community.  It really disheartens me for people to be so moralizing about this choice when a different choice that many of us rely on can provoke equal judgment.[/quote]
