True (the business about the cogency of that position). However, the "it's gonna wreck her life" argument is something of a straw man -- as there are far more compelling reasons someone could have for needing to terminate a pregnancy.
Regarding adoption: there are millions of children in the foster care system who are just waiting to be adopted. However, there seem to be a dearth of those (where are all those parents who are supposedly so desperate for a child -- any child) who are willing to adopt children who are not the right race, age, sex, or what-have-you.
