Discussion of abortion has led to a discussion on adoption, as in: why don’t women put their children up for adoption instead of getting an abortion?

Envy. It’s one of those emotions we chastise ourselves for. We push the feeling down, and tell ourselves it’s a negative way to think. But what if it's not?
