I think what was being said is why not have some of these unwanted pregnancies go to term, and have the baby adopted into a family that wants a child; and has proven they are capable of supporting one?
I am pro-choice, but years ago I had a friend who got pregnant at 16. She was going to have an abortion, but instead had a directed adoption of her child. She got to interview and choose the future parents, and is evn in the child's life as an "aunt." I ran into her about 10 years after the fact and she told me it was the best decision she had ever made.
Maybe options made available to people might prove to benefit everybody.
