I think you are exaggerating quite a bit with your argument here. Now, I don't agree with outlawing abortion so I'm not going to defend it. However, if abortion isn't an option then I would think most women would just go through adoption agencies, I don't think you would find many women dumping babies in dumpsters. When couples adopt, they also agree to pay for all the healthcare related to the birth of the child.

So, yeah... a bit of an exaggeration.

I could show example after example of the GOP slashing funding to social programs.  I would like you to show where the GOP would support any sort of funding to make this so.

Here is the GOP platform on abortion, where they speak of a pro-life agenda:

Again, what is this "Pro-life agenda" the GOP has?

did you even read my post? because your response doesn't seem to have anything to do with what I said...

I read your post.  I was trying not to take it as what I thought i read it as.  If you outlaw abortion then there wouldn't be a problem with unwanted births, because almost all children put up for adoption would find homes to take care of the kids.  Currently there are over 130,000 children waiting to be adopted today: http://www.chacha.com/question/how-many-children-remain-unadopted-in-america

Add over 30,000 more a year due to forced pregnancy due to rape and how much do you think it would go up?

I mention GOP policy, because they are the one pushing views seen here by some, that the government isn't supposed to do anything to address the issue.

thats a sepperate issue, its too hard to adopt in this country, i know of many people who have tried, yet dont get approval.

we have a big problem of people instead adopting foreign babies instead of demestic (which isnt bad per se) because it too difficult to adopt.

but it also another issue, a moral issue. one that involves the moral decay in our society. one that promotes irresponsibility, promiscuity, and general bad behavior. so really untill we solve that problem (which many people dont feel is a problem, because they are okay with it, and dont believe its moral decay, so it makes it an even harder proplem to solve) there is always going to be a huge supply of kids to adopt.

but i, as well as many others would much prefer an abundance of kids, then an abundance of murder.
