>>>>Even if one is not pro-choice, there is always adoption. If you know that you cannot afford to raise a child, what could be better for the child than to give it up for adoption to a couple who can afford to raise it? There are thousands of couples who cannot have children of their own that are waiting and hoping to adopt one and these couples can afford to give the child a good life. If one is pregnant and cannot afford to raise the child but keeps it anyway, this is a selfish decision and not in the best interests of the child.

>>>I have no problem giving the baby for adoption. That's a good choice. But if the parents wants to keep the child, I will also respect that. There's more than money involved in having a child.

People have to learn to be responsible enough to live within their means. This is even more important when one decides to have a child because that decision now affects two people instead of one.

>Just out of curiosity, pro-choice?

I don't know, seriously. I would say I am more pro-choice, but I get stuck in the gray area. I don't really feel strongly enough either way to take a stand.

If my child had some sort of horrible disease that would have an effect on the quality of life, I would not support an abortion.

If my child being born would have an effect on my wife's well-being, I would consider exploring the options.

If I accidentally knocked up a girl in high school, I wouldn't support an abortion but would strongly encourage adoption.

If my wife and I lived in poverty and she became pregnant, I would not support an abortion. I would man up and get a second or third job, swallow my pride and move us in with my parents until we could handle living on our own, etc.
