2. That is a quote from the CDC

The fact is: There is less stigma for single parents. Mothers don't give their infants up for adoption anymore. The Right to Life people actually encourage this as a way to dissuade abortion, "You can keep your child. There are support systems"

Abortion is not a reason for infant shortage, the Right to Life people are!

ETA: After reading the report:

It shows that the practice of relinquishing an infant for adoption has remained very low at 1.0% of babies born during this period.

The report does not even mention abortion.
