With adoption there is the possibility of being reunited with that child. Many times children seek out their birth parents when they get older or a parent seeks out the child. With abortion, that option wouldn't even exist.

Even "Jane Roe" is now against abortion.

A History of Lies

Roe v. Wade, which gave America abortion-on-demand, was a decision built on a foundation of lies. Norma McCorvey was “Jane Roe”—the plaintiff who, under the direction of

the abortion lobby, claimed that she had been a victim of gang rape. She has since admitted that this was an outright lie. Nevertheless, the ruling stands.

Now a pro-life activist, Norma McCorvey says, “I was the most willing dupe [of abortion advocates].” Testifying before a Senate panel, she confessed, “I think it’s safe to say that the entire abortion industry is based on a lie … I am dedicated to spending the rest of my life undoing the law that bears my name … I had to face up to the awful reality. Abortion was not about ‘products of conception’ [or] ‘missed periods.’ It was about children being killed in their mothers’ wombs. All those years, I was wrong.”

While Roe v. Wade is the most widely known abortion case in America, the U.S. Supreme Court issued another crucial ruling as a companion case to Roe, which further defined the terms of abortion in America. The second case is known as Doe v. Bolton. Sandra Cano was the plaintiff “Doe” in this case. Today, she testifies of how she was exploited at the hands of abortion advocates.

“I was poor, pregnant, uneducated, seeking assistance and getting a divorce from a man who was a convicted child molester. My only source of help was Atlanta Legal Aid. Instead of the help I sought, a feminist attorney turned my circumstances into a tool to achieve her agenda—legalizing abortion,” Cano said, speaking at a pro-life march. “For over 20 years now, my name has been synonymous with abortion. I was against abortion then. I am against abortion now. I never sought an abortion. I have never had an abortion. Abortion is murder.”

Not only were the foundational court cases a fraud, the abortion lobby’s fundamental arguments for abortion rights were a farce from the beginning. Abortion advocates found that they could win popular support as well as judicial sympathy by focusing on the horrors of illegal “back-alley” abortions. They argued that countless women were dying at the hands of “back-alley butchers” who exploited desperate women in crisis pregnancies, and they found that exaggerating the statistics would further their cause.
