Many children are given away for adoption for perfectly legitimate reasons. I know you could say to take precautions not to have a child in the first place if you know you can't take care of one, but the fact of the matter is there's no way to guarantee one will not get pregnant from intercourse. If one chooses to engage in such a lifestyle, and gets pregnant, what option do they have?
They may either abort the child (not an option for many people; be it morals, religion, or whathaveyou.) or give it up for adoption once born. Many people that face this option are indeed losers/deadbeats, but what of the people who are simply trapped into their circumstances? Do you honestly think a mother who gives up her child because she knows she will never be able to give it a good and happy life should never be able to see it?
