A study in Czechoslovakia of 220 children born to mothers who had been denied abortion twice (the requests had been turned down, appealed, and turned down again)
“An interpretation of this study to suggest that “unwanted” children will almost surely have a poor future would be misleading; the study children seem to be living relatively normal lives.”
Zdenek Dytrych, Zdenek Matejcek, Veratislav Schuller, Henry P David, Herbert L Freedman “Children Born to Women Denied Abortion” Family Planning Perspectives 7 no. 4 (July/August 1975).
The study found only minor differences between “wanted” and “unwanted” children. This would seem to verify that many children who are unwanted in the womb become wanted after they are born. From others who truly don’t want their children, giving birth and putting the baby up for adoption is an unselfish option that allows the baby to live.
