But the right to kill an unborn child isn't an enumerated right, so it would fall to the states.
Unenumerated rights are retained not by the states, but by the people. It is only unenumerated powers that are reserved to the states, or to the people.
Meanwhile, the two basic human rights that the Bill of Rights provides specificity to are the right to a free conscience, and the right to be left alone. Absent the establishment of a valid and compelling state interest, these rights may not be violated by any legislature -- local, state, or federal.
If you subsidize something, you get more of it. If there was an offer to pay a bounty of sorts, everyone would claim they didn't want their child and be even more careless about getting pregnant seeing how the financial responsibility would be lifted.
Adoption is the alternative. There are plenty of families who want to adopt babies.
if that were true, why are there so many kids in orphanages?

And it's been argued many times in many threads... it comes down to when does human life begin, and when does human life get protection of its rights, and do you get full protection or is it partial based upon age.
We don't need to get into the debates as to what those answers are in this debate, but it's short sighted not to recognize that if you feel human life begins at conception, that the rights of the baby are arugably being violated and require protection.
Lol, I guess you are trying to find out if people who oppose abortion are okay with murdering gays???
If me and my wife have a kid that turns out gay, I won't be happy about it. Just like I wouldn't be happy if they turned out to have uncontrollable anger or other genetic issues. I guess people should embrace children with uncontrollable rage? No need to think there is anything wrong with it, maybe they are happy being angry all the time.
I still don't buy that being gay is a genetic thing. If it is, its a deviance from normal. Otherwise, it would not procreate and would therefor be nothing but an exceptional rarity such as albinos.
if that were true, why are there so many kids in orphanages?
Usually they have been given up as older children or the parents had their rights terminated as older children. Older children are harder to place no question, but babies are very easily placed. Many people wait years to adopt an infant and many are unable to at all. twojciac is right, adoption is almost always a viable option to abortion.

Find me a baby in an orphanage. Seriously... I know two families who want to adopt.
Older children are in foster homes and have a problem being placed. They are taken away from their parents for various reasons, or due to the death of a single parent, etc. They're harder to place because they are older... but that's a different topic for a different thread.
Really? Have you tried? My sister has been waiting for 18 months for any baby... race isn't an issue. I've got a friend whose wife can't get pregnant due to her migrane medication she has to take, they've been waiting 11 months now. Neither one has had any luck yet.
