Yes, I may need to look into the number of unadopted kids myself. I don't understand why there are people on waiting lists while, at the same time, there are about two dozen faces on the adoption wall at Wendy's ... kids of all ages.

But, if you view abortion as murder (which, technically, it isn't. Murder is a crime. Abortion is not), then why would you say it is okay to perform an abortion in cases of nonconsentual sex/rape/incest? It certainly isn't the fault of the child! Is it not murder, in these cases? After all, the woman could still up the child for adoption.

As far as incest goes ... what if it is consentual sex between brother and sister? Would you say it is okay to abort because the child could be born with some mental or physical impairments? And if so, can a family abort a child they know will be born with mental and physical impairments even if it is not the result of incest?
