I remember reading in one of pamphlets she had laying around back then and that was over 25 yrs ago so the total number would much higher now if Roe Wade never happened, but anyway it said that legal pro choice options for women kept the number of prisoners for crime from being the additional size of another Rhode island in additional prison population

Many have as you say " nothing going " for them because they are 14, raped, drug addicts, alcoholics, homeless,in poverty, ill , happily married and just had a baby then accident and can not afford it or maybe mentally challenged . All know they do not want be pregnant That they do have that going for them .

all will be adopted they say? Who is looking to adopt and can provide for a black drug addict's HIV + addicted baby many special needs on top of a heart problem detected in the womb after she was denied an abortion?

Well i will tell you that one sector of society did want black HIV+ babies that I know of and that was POC homosexual couples who found it hard to adopt back then but now the same Rw fundis are reverting back to not letting homosexuals adopt either !!! and of course not all ill children of any color may be able to be adopted by a family . Some will need to be in a facility that can care for them properly
There are a lot of babies born to drug addicts or other issues happening even with abortion being legal
No abortion period will mean many children born with severe health issues that were detected in the womb but cruelly they could not terminate .
Imagine what that women and child have going for them forward

Yet there still are a lot of children of the state, foster agencies and private adoption agencies plus already places that help pregnant women find adopting couples but IT should be the women's choice to decide imo.
Many agencies are already overwhelmed
