The "not free to be adopted" is a huge part of the problem, as is the "birth parent may resurface and grab the child". If anti-abortion activists would direct a little more energy towards the necessary legal changes, and less to hollering about the morning after pill being "murder", maybe the adoption system in this country would really work, and people wouldn't be scared to put babies into it, or to adopt out of it. That said, though, fixing the U.S. laws on adoption would just cut down on the need for international adoptions, leaving more of those foreign kids parentless, and too often being sold into slavery. There really is an oversupply of children in the world for the number of able and willing parents. As long as Asian parents are still selling their spare 10 year old girls to Thai brothels for $20 or $30, nobody's going to get me on the gotta-get-all-those-fetuses-born bandwagon.

And who are you to choose which child is not necessary to this world because they may face hardships?

Sometimes I think certain segments of the pro-life movement really have misplaced priorities. The EC pill is NOT abortion, it's not RU486. The Roman Catholic groups in particular are against all forms of birth control for instance. Lobbying for more adoption,etc. is better.

My God! Mother Teresa used to say that arguing there are too many children was like saying there are too many flowers. But, then, people who love abortion probably hate flowers too. Don't you?

And the pro-life crowd actively supports adoption.

Oddly it is the pro-abortion group who is most in favor of making and keeping adoption as difficult as possible.

Who do you think is coming up with these ever more ridiculous rules about what children have to be placed where? It isn't those on the pro-life side. It is the "Better off Dead" bunch.
