This is an extremely reasonable attitude with which I must concur. However,
one must always, as a male, question seriously that we may not understand the
personal health risks to to any female who gives birth... and also to the
immense emotional cost of bearing a natural infant and then giving it away.
Many women speak of the intense feelings engendered by a mere embryonic
abortion within the second month... When it is totally natural that a woman be
prepared by Nature to bond to an infant even to give her life in its defense,
it is perhaps too much to ask that she should subject herself to the creation
of that infant, be prepared for that bonding, and by choice of a yielding for
adoption, feel the natural creation of that bond for an infant to be yanked
away and given to another... perhaps it's too much to be asked of a woman.
