Anyway, here are some woman's issues to consider, that are very on topic when discussing abortion, particularly adoption, as this seems to be the pro life side's ideal answer to the topic. Yet where are all the religious anti abortionists to adopt all of these babies(and babies do grow into even more unadoptable children/teens)?

"A common consequence of rape and prostitution is unwanted pregnancy, especially in places where condoms and other forms of birth control are not available or are too expensive. As such, many women turn to abortion. Worldwide, there are 36 to 53 million abortions performed per year.[13] Abortion on request is permitted in only 22% of all countries and in only 6% of those in the developing world. One third of developing countries either prohibit abortion or allow it only in cases of rape or incest or to save the mother's life. Seventy thousand women (8 per hour) die annually from abortions (13% of all maternal deaths).[14] A lack of contraceptive services and impaired access to abortion lead many desperate women to choose self-induced or other unsafe pregnancy termination options. In Latin America, one quarter to one half of maternal deaths are due to unsafe abortions.[14] Worldwide, for every single abortion death, there are 30 infections or injuries.[14] Many more women suffer and die as a result of inadequate prenatal and perinatal care. A recent report from the World Health Organization, the UNICEF children's agency, and the U.N. Population Fund states that women in Sub-Saharan Africa are 175 times more likely to die from complications in pregnancy and childbirth than women in rich countries; in Africa at large, 1 in 16 women do not survive a pregnancy.[15]
In 2001, the Bush Administration reinstituted the "global gag rule," which blocks foreign nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that receive US family planning assistance from performing abortions, except in cases of rape, incest, or a threat to the woman's life; from providing counseling or referral for abortions; and from advocating for safe and legal abortion in their respective countries.[16] This policy has hampered the efforts of NGOs to provide not only pregnancy terminations, but also contraceptive and anti-HIV services, and has undoubtedly led to an increase in the numbers of unsafe abortions and HIV-infected individuals. The Catholic Church's ongoing, unscientific renunciation of condoms further exacerbates the problems of unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV.[17] "
I find it perverted and very revealing of the poster's psyche to claim the abortion/unwanted pregnancy debate boils down to
"It takes two to tango. You made the decision to open your legs knowing full well that you where performing an act of reproduction. "
It also tells me the person has little concern for women's rights, or remotely care about how women are treated in general.
