We need to start over with a completely accurate thread title and no chance of anyone forgetting what this is about. The topic is very specific: How do so-called "pro-lifers" want and expect to solve the problem with child overpopulation that would drastically increase if abortion was federally illegal except to save the mother's life? This has absolutely nothing to do with how the unwanted baby was conceived, embryonic and fetal development, or anything else that happens before birth. That means you will not make any misogynistic comments, period.
Hundreds of thousands of unwanted babies born each year adds up to millions of unwanted children on the streets, in foster homes, or being mistreated by their birth parents within five years. They are all underfed, unhealthy, uninsured, uneducated, and unloved while growing up. They will later remain unemployed during adulthood, when their peers are working, have college degrees, etc. Throwing them into the foster care system only seems to help until something goes wrong. Adoption is the only way the baby can grow up like a normal kid. Even this is not good enough when that kid learns about his/her real parents years later. Also, it requires having enough couples who want to adopt babies and having no kids already in foster care systems waiting to be adopted. If you think abortion should be illegal; except to save the mother's life, how would you solve this problem?
