A backlog that would be filled after a few years of making abortion illegal. After that, it would be state orphanages, here we come.
That is pure fantasy on your part.
No. I simply run the numbers. It's part of being rational. Being irrational, you handwave away the numbers, because the numbers contradict your fantasy of a home for every child.
There were about 2 million American women wanting to adopt. Source is the National Survey of Family Growth, Cycle IV, 1988. Might be a little higher now in 2013, so let's call it 3 million.

And what, 1.1 million abortions each year? Gee, 3 million divided by 1.1 million is ... a few years. Exactly like I said. Get used to the fact that, unlike you, I can always back up what I say.

Yep! The solution to not having orphanages is to kill all the kids. Saves a lot of time, money, and effort.
Like most pro-lifers, Bob here is truly one sick puppy. The pro-lifers are actually advocating the killing of children now.
