Well Sea Dangles, (1) given the years-long waiting lists for people desperate to adopt a baby, I think it's safe to say that not many babies end up unwanted and in foster care as you depicted...that's mostly older kids who find themselves in a lousy deal. And (2) given that kids in foster homes are not committing suicide in huge numbers, I think I can make a pretty compelling case that those people feel their lives are, in fact, worth living. So, let's be honest and not suggest that abortion is doing these babies a favor.

More misdirection on your part. A small % of abortions are selected because of medical problems of the baby. The vast majority of abortions are done for sheer convenience, nothing else. You can talk about women's health and babies with medical issues, but thats not the heart of the issue. Most abortions are performed on moms who simply don't want to go through pregnancy.

What evidence do you have, that black babies that get put up for adoption, have miserable lives? Are there huge, institutional orphanages for these kids, that no one ever told me about>

If we need to take better care of these kids, I will happily pay my share of that. To say that they'd be better off to never exist, is quite a leap, and I can't fathom how you feel qualified to make that call.
