4. What happens to all these babies?

Whose responsibility are they? Who pays for their welfare? There won't be enough adoptive parents to take them all in. And I don't think people understand the emotional issue of having a baby out there in the world growing up but not knowing if the baby is in a good environment or in distress. If you don't believe abortion destroys something with a soul (which I don't) but just ends something that could have at some point become a baby, then abortion is a better choice than creating a child but not knowing if there would ever be a happy home for that child.
