1) Which of my statistics involve older orphans. If the 1.5 million people who had an abortion last year gave birth instead they would each have an infant on their hands. Considering noe of them want the babies all of these infants would be given up for adoption immediately. Therefore there would be 1.5 million infants available.

Currently 500,000 people are looking to adopt. This number includes people looking for children, and infants. http://www.adoptioninstitute.org/FactOverview.html

How do these numbers not equate.

Besides, there are plenty of infants available. What the people on the waiting list want are white blue eyed babies. If these people are so desperate to adopt then i'm sure africa could accomodate the demand.

2) Would having to carry a pregnancy to term be a deterent. Yes, i agree. But I believe education and prevention is a far better alternative than relying on reluctant parents learning their lesson after a few unwanted pregnancies. Spend the money on programs that reduce unwanted pregnancy by educating and convincing people to use protectiong. We are a rich and smart enough society that we shouldn't have any unwanted pregnancies. That's just my opinion.

3) Yes. Abortion used to be illegal. Family sizes were much larger. Women didn't mind (or weren't allowed) to work therefore stayed home to take care of the kids. And most parents were willing to spend their income on their children before they went out and purchased luxuries.

Can you really say the same of the potential parents who would have to raise their children instead of aborting them. Or are todays reluctant parents interested more on watching tv, buying cars, or doing drugs than spending money on their kids. I wish we could revert certain of societies moral perspective (obviously not forcing women to stay at home) overnight to what they were 50 years ago, but I believe this takes more time.
