To the editor:

In the letter from Frank Depenbusch, he presents us with a false equivalent. He says instead of having an abortion, all a woman has to do is relinquish her baby and life will be OK. I have been a part of the adoption triad for 26 years and have seen the depth of sorrow and the havoc that “just” relinquishing a baby can cause. I have also seen the depth of sorrow and havoc that abortion can cause.

I have NEVER met anyone who is pro-abortion. My strongest feeling is to support birth-control efforts here and around the world so these awful choices will not have to be made. I also hope that those who oppose abortion will stop making the false equivalent between abortion and adoption. It’s just not so.
