I must second these facts.

I don't like to preach pro-life attitudes -- IMO if there's danger that
the mother could die in the pregnancy, or if she's been raped, an
abortion is in-line.  But when it comes to abortions for personal
financial or lifestyle reasons, you've got to seriously consider
adoption before you consider abortion.
