Sure you would. And you would win. But that would not mean a thing...because there are thousands upon thousands of infants who simply cannot get adopted for one reason or another already.
So make your bet if it makes you feel better.
It shouldn't!

Boy...talk about false choices!!!!
One...allowing her to have an abortion would not be "bail(ing) the kid out of a jam she got herself into." It would be allowing her a choice over her own body...just as any woman contemplating an abortion exercises.
Two...just what makes you suppose that electing to have an abortion is not "...taking responsibility for the choices they make and thus learn(ing) to make better choices?"
Why do you see electing abortion as mutually exclusive of those ends?
