As kind of an aside, why can't adoption be placed within a system that makes it the easier choice for a woman?
Rather than the stick one side employs (look at these gross pictures you evil person you deserve to die baby killer) and the moral stick the other side employs (omg don't restrict my right to choose!), it seems to me both sides would support adoption as a viable alternative.
So make the adoption system as easy as possible for the mother. Adoptive parents or the government pays medical bills for the mother, and make the next one that she carries for herself free to. I don't know, there must be lots of ways to make adoption seem like the easier and more attractive option vs. abortion.
