Adoption still places the parents under the duress of the medical bills up to the point of adoption, nor does it address the extreme physical duress it places the mother under.

Additionally, it does not address cases of rape, incest, pregnancies which have a high chance of killing the mother, or children with severe defects (who are likely to remain in foster homes, in the average-to-good case).

We also have no idea who the 15% of all pregnancies that end in miscarriages "could become" but we don't obsess over it because pregnancy never has been and never will be the guarantee of a fully formed independent human being. Not in humans, not in any species.

It won't be hard to find serial killers and serial pedophiles that weren't aborted because of abortion not being legal.

We can only begin to judge people as individuals once they have gained agency and self-awareness. If we're going to turn the argument into a contest of silly clichés, then how do I know whether a given fetus is going to grow up to become the next Jobs or the next Hitler?

You can't define a clump of cells as "good," "evil," or, indeed, as "human." Your own holy book makes no attempt at doing so. If you insist on enforcing your unsupported opinion at gunpoint, it can only happen at the cost of our own free will... just as seen here.

what about the billions of people already on this planet who are not in such a lucky position?

Steve Jobs was also the child of Syrian immigrants, so I’m not really sure he’s the person you should be trotting out in situations like these.

I have an inkling as to why this comment is being downvoted, but I'd love to see some actual responses to it that refute or at least engage with the claim that "adoption is an option".
