Abortion I am adopted and if my birth mother had made the decision to have an abortion I would not be standing here giving this speech today. Luckily, my Birth-mother decided to take responsibility for the mistake that she made by not choosing abortion. She carried me inside her as a constant reminder of the mistake she made in having unprotected sex at age fourteen, and then she chose adoption. By helping pick a loving, infertile couple who could give her child so much more then she could offer at that young age, she made a wise and loving decision that she didn’t have feel guilty about for the rest of her life. What is more precious then LIFE itself?
