I`m not looking for a fight AgThorn, but I`ll put on the old asbestos undies just in case. You said that there are about 1.3 million abortions performed in America every year. From what I found here it seems that there are significantly less people/families wanting to adopt babies than there are women having abortions.

I am not looking for arguments to justify abortion, I am genuinely interested to know what happens to all the extra babies that no-one will want. Any thoughts?

Now wouldn't that be a nice problem to have. I mean, the supply of babies has never exceeded the demand for them in this country. So, hence the hypothetical question, what if we just quit having abortions and then we had this problem?

It's a good question, and I only wish we could trade one problem for the other!! One has to admit that in many other countries, this problem literally does exist. That is partly why so many foreign nursery's and orphanages do such a good business over here. i.e. we are either killing off our own, or making the bureaucracy so difficult to adopt ... so we adopt theirs ... sad.
