Three words: Adoption and personal responsibility.

One more - orphanages. Newt was pilloried for saying it a few years ago. A well run orphanage would be millions of times better than abortion if adoptive parents can't be found. And with all the classified ads I see everywhere, with sad would-be parents unable to find a baby to adopt, I think adoption is a big answer, until society straightens itself out and premarital and meaningless sex is considered shameful again.

You know what's sad? My cousin and her husband had to literaly travel to Romania to adopt 2 chldren (She can't have children) because it was so hard to do so in this country. And they were relatively well off. Adoption is a joke in this country. My brother-in-law, who's a lawyer, eventually adopted 2 children as well. And while he adopted 2 American kids, he got lucky becasue the family knew the 2 women (one was a 16 year-old) who were giving the kids up. If it wasn't for his inside connection, he said it would've been a pain in the *ss...even for him, as a lawyer.
