I wonder if the medical/scientific community could research if removing the embryo from the womb of a woman and having it complete its gestation period either in a test tube or a human surrogate, for people (biological father? grandparents? potential adoptive parents?) wanting to take on the responsibility?
Sounds like a promising development.
There are enough unwanted, unloved, uncared for LIVING CHILDREN in this world.
We don't need to grow more.

None of it is play. It is all real. You may brush it away, in your mind. But I will stand firm. And so will science.
Frankly, your opinion on the matter - - can blow in the wind. That's how much I care about you trying to take some moral high ground.
If its not OK with you, don't do it.
Just stay out of my way.
You sound like Trump. Bravo.
I am woman, hear me roar.
In a real life decision I had to make the choice.

Do you remember the Dixie Chicks and how they tried to stand up to President Bush over the Iraq invasion? You don't remember people standing up against Citizens United? Maybe at the time, it just wasn't important to you but now it is.

"The last numbers I read showed that there was a shortage of children for adoption."
Not because of abortion, dated today:
The drop in the number of newborn adoptions since the 1970s coincides with a decline in the percentage of single mothers placing children for adoption, down from nine percent in the 1970s to 1.4 percent in 2002 (the most recent year for which this statistic was reported), according to the National Survey of Family Growth. As the stigma against single parenthood has diminished over the last 35 years, so has the number of children placed for adoption.

Kids need to be taught the consequences of having sex when they are not prepared for the inevitable outcome. Unfortunately they live in a sex-saturated society.
If we can as a culture start treating pre-marital sex the same as the transition of cigarette smoking from 'hip and cool' in the 50's to the anethema it has become today, it might be possible.

The unborn women haven't been given the opportunity to roar, let alone cry for their mother.
Just sayin'

I don't hear much of a roar, just some strange stuff about the selfishness of people wanting babies and the unselfishness of those that abort babies (regardless of the circumstances) in the name of 'choice'. You don't represent all women.

Give me one unselfish reason to bring a child into this world.
I represent Right of Choice, that does represent all women.

Yes i saw that and it makes sense. Given this it makes sense that if less children were aborted then we could continue to meet the demand of parents desperate for children. The drivers are less important than the fact there is a shortage.

Believe me you don't represent all women.
What is selfish about creating a loving family unit? What is selfish about a couple who have an unplanned child and despite not really wanting children at that time still give everything they have to make that child's life as good as it can be.
I am sorry if you experienced a bad life, but your views simply are not representative of loving families.

Most people want a baby. The perfect healthy (white) baby.
LIVING CHILDREN are not about age, race, ethnicity, physical ability, etc.

Ah - now onto race.
I'll pass on the race baiting thanks and stick tot he facts that there are a shortage of babies compared to loving families wanting them.
Alveoli begin developing at about 24 weeks. Some premature babies are able to survive with help at as little as 24 weeks. Just sayin'.
