Arrow Re: Election Question

Well, an unemployed single young woman with a rape baby to take care of really does a really horrible life ahead of her. Not only can't she feed herself but now she's got a baby to feed and take care of on top of it, and getting a job/education when there's no one at home to take care of the starving kid is really hard. Add the fact that her emotional wounds will reopen every times she sees the child and she's in for a really bad life. Ruined? I don't know, but certainly not a life I would wish on anyone...

I don't know how adoptions laws are either here or in the USA, but I think what we need is a "no questions asked" right to give your upcoming kid to adoption. You don't like the gender? Give him up for adoption. You got raped? Give him up for adoption. Can't afford having a kid? Give him up etc.

Sure many parents would give up their future kids to avoid responsibility but it's already what they're doing. At least this way the kid would be alive.
