“I Felt Sad Just Thinking about an Abortion”
— Posted by John (May 20, 2008 at 1:54 pm)
There was an article this weekend in a Los Angeles area newspaper about Korin Cuico, a San Pedro teenager and a highly recruited softball player who became pregnant and decided — at the last minute — against having an abortion.
Instead, Korin chose to let one of her cousins (who had just found out she was unable to have children) adopt her baby:
“In my mind, I was thinking about an abortion,” Cuico said. “But I didn’t want to because the baby was already moving in my stomach. I felt sad just thinking about an abortion. It was an emotional roller coaster for the next month….”
“I had a change of heart. If I had an abortion, I don’t know how I would’ve lived with myself.”

Very beautiful and inspiring!
I really believe in promoting the “Adoption, not Abortion” pro-life message. It’s very positive and tells people what they can do instead of abortion.

She made a very positive choice. Adoption is always better than abortion because it lets the baby live.
But the pro-death/anti-choice/must-abort crowd is sure to be unhappy. While they claim to be for a woman’s choice, there is really only one choice a woman can make that is acceptable to these death peddlers: Get an abortion, end of discussion, don’t even think about other alternatives. They pretend that it is for the woman, but really, there are issues of financial gain for the abortion industry, social control (of who has children), ideological issues, and fear that someone else’s kid will somehow inconvenience them. Thus they try to control other people’s reproduction even while they hypocritically claim to set women free in this area.
I’m so glad this girl had the strength to buck this pressure. It’s good that she found out about her cousin’s problem in time too. Not only will her baby be adopted, but since it is a relative adoption, she will probably get to see her child on occasion as the years go by.
But even if you never sees the child again, adoption is still better than killing the baby.

Though this survey is now closed, I would definitley recommend looking over this inspiring (and interesting) modesty survey geared towards guys and how they view feminine modesty.
