who later went one and gave birth to the child I am raising I can assure you (though it should be pretty obvious) that abortion and adoption are NOT equal choices. I made that choice at 27, and let me tell you it was BRUTAL putting that behind me. Possibly the single hardest choice I've ever made! The two choices are apples and oranges.

Amazing at how many people fail to see that.
