I am not for or against abortion. Obviously, if we did not need to have abortions – wonderful! I don’t think there are too many mothers who want to extinguish a life. What I’d like to know is this. If we did make abortions illegal, what do we do with all those babies?

For the impatient

People that are against abortion have absolutely no plan for a grand influx of babies. The people that are against abortion are for the destruction of civilization and desire this worlds situation to go from bad, to worse. Most people do not consider the following:

• How many abortions are there per year
• How many adoptions are there per year
• How many new adoption applications are there each year

People always like to say, "Oh, but there are so many people who cannot even get a baby they have to go to China to find one!". Great, that means simply that there is at least one more for demand than is in supply. Unless that is you are saying that americans adopt over 1 million babies every year outside the US alone. Of course your not, however, that is what it would take in order to outlaw abortion and not have it destroy this country.

For the interested

Let’s start with some basic numbers. I have stayed in the US, since worldwide numbers are hard to come by, however, I do know that world wide numbers are tend to be more depressing.

• About 1,200,000 abortions each year
• About 130,000 adoptions each year
• There are currently 1.5 million adopted children under the age 18, total
• Couples adopt 25,000 children internationally, each year
• About 100,000 adoption applications are filed each year
• 465,000 children are in foster care, right now

Based on those numbers, if abortion were illegal, one of the following would come true:

• Over a million additional babies enter the foster care each year.
• Over a million additional babies would be raised be parents who do not want them.

Let’s look at each:

Surely you are aware of the many problems within the foster system. Physically and sexually abusive foster parents, and foster parents who are only in it for the additional income from the state. Of course not all foster parents are bad. I am sure there are a grand many who are good people wanting to lend a helping hand. However you have to admit, to a criminal, that is pretty enticing. You are being paid to take children who are already vulnerable, and are probably scared to turn/attack/report evil fosters in fear of not being “fosterable” in the future. I can imagine that it would be in a foster child’s interest to not make waves.

What about if we force the mother to keep the baby? I’m certain a some of the little moms will grow wings and raise their baby wonderfully, however this is not LifeTime, and we all know that it can be rare that parents who even actually want kids do a good job raising them.

It takes a lot of someone to want and to achieve raising a good child. You have to lead by example, everyday. You must love them, and interact with them, everyday. You have to attend to their needs for them to grow, mentally and physically.

The overall effectiveness of each preference class, would be such to have permanent loving parents on top. Under this with regards to effectiveness would be foster care, and then followed by being raised by an unloving parent. Let’s face it, if foster children were all ultra successful and happy, we’d have guru’s telling us to give our children up, for the better of the world.

Our foster system simply cannot handle 1 million more babies each and every year. If it currently cannot handle half a milltion children, what is it going to do with 1.5 million, then 2.5 million the next year? And the next? These unwanted babies would largely go unloved, and un-parented for the majority of their lives. What kind of adults do you think they’ll grow up into? Self starting entrepreneurs who volunteer their time at soup kitchens and listen to Michael Bolton? No, probably more like thousands of small ad-hoc interdependant families, like the ones we come to know as gangs. See, everyone needs love and acceptance – and most everyone gets it, one way or another.

Ask yourself, is this the kind of world that will survive? When, in 13 years from then those first million babies start having relationships, what do you think will happen? Exactly – we grow from 1 million babies each year, to 2 million. After a few more years, and a few more million babies become of age, we start seeing 3, and 4 million unwanted babies each and every year

Just Kidding
Oh geesh guys c’mon. Can’t you take a joke. Here is the real truth: If we did outlaw abortion, those extra million babies would pretty much all be kept by their moms. Obviously, having an actually bundle of joy in their arms, transforms them into the loving mothers we all know and want. Their teeth would become whiter, skin softer, and hair longer. They’d all shower their little babies with much love, and much attention. In fact, so much so that after a decade or so, we’d see these new youngsters start to abstain from sex! Yes, because of the ultra awesome perfect happy mothers this new system automagically created, we’d end up with perfectly balanced and happy children, who were no longer interested in premarital sex.

This is all proven scientific fact, by the way.

In the End:
Surely, after decades of all this debate and protesting, someone has a plan yes?

Oh. that’s peculiar.
