Reply #241: There is also a waiting list of LIVING children in homes waiting to be...

[Maddy McCall]

adopted. Why don't all of those marvelous two-parent families on the waiting list you mention go adopt the children that are already alive?

The third option you mention still puts the burden on the woman of sacrificing her education and career; possibly her mental,physical and emotional health--basically ALL aspects of her life for nine months to be an incubator when she may not want to be.

The woman is in control of no life but her own; therefore, the solution that SHE chooses should be based on how the pregnancy will affect HER life.

You mention "inherent sexism." When men start bearing children, then the biology of their burden will be considered by the law. Until then, biology gives women the choice. Deal with it.
