Here is the Issue at hand: What difference does it make if I were to kill a human being in the womb in the first few weeks of its development from a baby just born into the world? The human being in the womb is doing nothing to contribute to society. Likewise the newborn baby is doing nothing to contribute to society. The newborn baby left on its own would die. It has to have care. If the  human being in the womb was taken out it would die because it needs to develop in order to live outside the womb. Both are human. Both have done nothing to contribute to society yet. Why deny the human in the womb the right to live, but not the newborn baby?

Well people want babies. There is great demand for babies.

My concern is there just isn't enough people adopting children that aren't babies. Perhaps most orphans aren't up for adoption as babies?

That's a large part of it. Most children waiting for adoption, by a large margin were put into the system after reaching  1 year of age.  For people, having the whole expierence like you were a birth parent is important.

 

Another problem is race... White people tend to adopt a lot more then other races... however the government doesn't tend to want to adopt out other races to white parents, ironically due to pressure from civil rights groups who view it as "White people stealing a young black/hispanic" child's culture.

Or people worried about culture shock.

Both which are silly arguements when the other answer is 18 years of Fostercare.

There is a federal law against considering race, but it widely happens anyway.

Apparently this is even worse in the UK.
