We are all Made To Live - Dr. Paul Saba shares how his family chose life when everything was stacked against them.

Would you trust a stranger with determining the value of your loved one's life? There is an uncomfortable gray area when it comes to determining the futility of someone's medical treatment in America. Every decision is subjective somehow, so it might be risky to have too many laws that interfere with your decision-making.

But while the vagueness of these laws is thus necessary to some extent, we should also consider the potential abuses this ambiguity renders possible. Seeing as the doctors and committees claim authority over this process, there should be many important questions we could ask about their decision-making.

Prior to the fall of Roe v. Wade in June of 2022, Vox argued that adoption could never “effectively replace abortion” because “people who choose adoption still become parents — they just don’t raise their children.” Now, a year after the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, it appears that adoption inquiries from pregnant women have been increasing.

The abortion-to-adoption ratio in the United States is about 50:1. Data from 2020 puts the ratio at 47:1, but, as the pro-life Lozier Institute reports, based on information from the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute, at-home abortions via the abortion pill are not included in those ratios.
