Nothing is technically forcing her to raise it. In some places you can take a baby and drop it off at a fire department until it is two months old.

That's literally abandoning the baby.

Either way I'd be happy to argue against abortion if there were social structures put in place to guarantee the child will be raised well, but there aren't. We can't even keep free school lunches funded by the federal gov, so what makes you think these children will be any better off if they are carried to term? Not to mention they're being born into an ever increasing hellscape of a planet that will likely lead to mass famine and disease which isdominated by a tiny minority of billionaires that would rather see the world burn than give up their precious money.

As for the adoption argument, its an extremely long and involved process to get approved as adoptive parents. Not to mention everyone wants to adopt a baby not an adolescent child so if they are not adopted before ~2y its likely they will never be adopted and will have to live their childhood in foster homes and orphanages.

Allllso, a lot of these adoptions are handled by some religious org that will deny anyone if they dont subscribe to their one true religion.
