No! I wouldnt. There is always adoption, and not only that but I know here in the US there is welfare, and the state will help you with providing the baby with the things it needs. There is a WIC program that provides formula for the baby, and when it gets older acutal food. Also food stamps so you can go grocery shopping, and HUDD, which provides you with a home. So if worst comes to worst there are other options out there...

if you're not financially stable or not ready for a baby, then don't make one! specially here in the philippines, since its a catholic country, its not good! if you're already pregnant and don't want the baby, then just let the baby be born and just take it to an orphanage.

I am pro-choice. It's not my place to judge. I wouldn't tell a woman to go have an abortion but I can only support their decision. Keeping the baby and giving the baby up for adoption are also choices. Therefore, I am pro-choice. I also wouldn't recommend a woman having abortion as a birth control method because if she is ready to have children of her own, she can have a high chance of being infertile and can run into some health problems related to the abortions in the long run. I can understand if a woman contemplates abortion when she has health problems and pregnancy is a threat to her. I can understand when a woman contemplates abortion because she doesn't have any financial or emotional support from her family, friends, and even the father of her baby. And because she doesn't have any support and is not willing to go through her pregnancy, she will become desperate and even starve or not take care of herself. I also understand when a woman was raped and contemplates abortion. And the list goes on. Also, when you think about adoption. How do you know that these babies are going to good homes? Some women think about the children they gave up every single day, for years and decades. They often wonder if their child was/is happy or if they went to a good home. Because not all adopted/foster parents are good people. Sometimes you see on the news that some adopted/foster parents abuse their kids. Also, you often see on the news every month at least, that women dump their babies in the dumpsters and abandon them to die. These women didn't have abortions, they went through the pregnancy and perhaps even hid their pregnancy, maybe because they didn't have enough money for abortion. This is more traumatic to me to see a newborn baby abandoned, than when a woman has an abortion. I also find it ironic that people who are pro-life are not vegitatarians but meat eaters. They say abortion is "murder" but they don't realize that alot of food that ends up on their plate used to be baby cows, piglets, chicks, and these innocent animals get slaughtered so they can become food to us humans.
