I was talking with some wealthy, pro-life activists this evening and came up with an idea that they wanted no part of. I agreed that abortion would be made illegal, but that every pro-life American would adopt one child.

This caused a huge debate, which I countered point-by-point. Allow me to share their concerns and my answer:

1: There are not enough babies to adopt.

There are 300 million people in the US. There are close to 2 million abortions preformed annually in the US. Of these 300 million, odds are that at least two million are rabidly pro-life.

2: Making people take in a child they do not want is an unfair intrusion into their lives.

Well, if you want these kids to live, it should not be an intrusion. You are saving their lives. Also, if you don't want the child, why should the mother?

3: How do we know that these children will go to pro-life, stable homes?

We have the census and tax returns. Just check the box that you will take one of these kids, and only those with a certain income level will be accepted as parents.

4: Why should we be punished because people cannot keep their legs closed.

The continuation of our species depends on people not keeping their legs closed. We could ban sex and see how that goes. But anyway, I thought this was about saving the children.

Of course we all know how this debate ends. They say that ending abortions will stop irresponsible sex and in the cases that it does not well, forget about the mother and the child. 

These are generally the same people who love war but will never join the military and discourage their children from doing the same while simultaneously advocating military recruiters on college campuses.

Only in America....
