Adoption not abortion

Another story that came out of the National March for Life here in Ottawa May 9.

One of the most powerful forms of social justice is adoption, because it unleashes purpose, love, and mercy, says Ryan Bomberger, co-founder of the Radiance Foundation.

Adoption is the solution to the social injustice of abortion, he told the 2013 Youth Conference May 10 which was held in conjunction with the National March for Life.

“I am that one per cent used to justify abortion,” said Bomberger, who said he was conceived after rape.

He said he could not imagine his mother’s courage, choosing to go through nine months “of a traumatic pregnancy,” after the “most violent act” changed her life forever.

But because of the decision of his birth mom, his adoptive mother was able to hold him on the day he was born and have him in their home by the time he was 6 weeks old. “I want to shatter the myth of the unwanted child.”
