If you are so concerned for those poor fetuses you should be doing more. You want more children thrown into an already overflowing, and broken system. You want more children thrown into the welfare system, You want more children thrown into an already broken school system.
Let's look at the numbers.
1 million abortions last year.
IF only half gave the child up for adoption, that would mean 500,000 additional children in the system.
There are approximately 150,000 adoptions a year. Some from out of the country, and some inter-family.
There are currently about 400,000 children in the system now.
Who's going to take in these other children?
NOW, let's assume that half of these mothers decide to keep the child, but will need government assistance.
That is 500,000 more children and mothers being supported by taxpayers.
Who want's their taxes to go up to pay for more people "on the dole"?
I simply expect each woman to make the best choice for herself, her situation, and her life.
Anyone want to give it a shot? The OP can't do anything but deflect.
You guys haven't come up with a response to this yet?

You're getting ridiculous now! If I don't believe in killing the unborn why would I want women to be killed? Murder is murder isn't it?
the 5th amendment of the US Constitution states:

That is why we have a federal death penalty [Tim McVeigh] and states have the right to execute...[James Holmes] McVeigh murdered, the Feredal government executed.
The abortion issue has been duly ajudicated. Abortion is lawful.
On September 30, 2004, 518,000 children were in the U.S. foster care system. Most children are placed in foster care temporarily due to parental abuse or neglect.
Of those :
About 40,000 infants are placed in foster care every year.
40 percent of foster children are white; 34 are black; 18 percent are Hispanic.
The Majority of Children Leaving Foster Care Return to Their Birth Parents
<A class=regular_text>Nearly sixty percent of the 251,000 children who exited foster care in 1999 were reunited with their birth parents. About one fifth were adopted or placed with a permanent guardian. Of those children who were adopted, 64% were adopted by a foster parent and 16% by a relative.[6]
There are children that age out of the system every year. These children are never adopted.
If the anti choicers care so much for the children, why are there children that age out?
There are over 550,000 children in foster care in the United States.
Children of color outnumber white children in foster care. Of the children in foster care:
39% were Black non-Hispanic;
34% were White non-Hispanic;
17% were Hispanic;
2% were American Indian/Alaskan Native;
1% Asian/Pacific Islander; and
7% were of unknown or other racial/ethnic background.
The average (mean) age of children in foster care was 9.9 years. The average (mean) length of time that children had been in foster care was 32 months.
Children Needing Families
The United States Department of Health and Human Services estimates that as many as 127,000 children in foster care needed adoptive families. The ethnic backgrounds of these children are as follows:
42% were African American
32% were White
15% were Hispanic
1% were Native American/Alaskan Native
1% were Asian/Pacific Islander
8% were of unknown/unable to determine ethnic backgrounds
The average mean age of children waiting to be adopted is 7.9 years. More than 70% of the children are under the age of 11.
The mean length of time that these children have been in foster care is 44 months.
Where are all of those who want to adopt these children?
