Roe, Roe, Roe Your Boat...

Every morning I drive past an abortion clinic on my way to work. I would have had no idea of its existence if not for the protesters. It is in a small office park, probably in one of the rear buildings, all of which look rather pleasant in a colonial type of way. Every morning, rain or shine, there is at least protester, often several, ranging in age from 10 to 50s or 60s. They hold posters of the famous photograph of a discarded fetus pieced together again. They hold affirmations that it is in fact a child. They offer phone numbers one can call if one has issues of regret or depression. They huddle together, bundled when it is cold. Occasionally they are shouted at. Occasionally, I suppose, they shout. The right to choice versus the right to life is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, of issues circling around in the political arena today.
I did some fact checking online. Apparently the CDC holds statistics of how many abortions are performed annually in the United States. It seems as though 2005 is the most recent year with reliable stats, and in 2005, roughly 1.21 million abortions were performed. This excludes 3 states which are not required to post their totals, California being one of them. California is also the state which performs the most annual abortions, according to one anti-abortion site I read (although since they are under no obligation to report them, I wonder on what authority the site makes this supposition). I also checked another statistic. I looked up how many couples in the US are deemed infertile. Oddly enough, these statistics are also maintained by the CDC. In 2009, roughly 7 million couples were deemed infertile. Per year, about 200,000 children are adopted in the United States (this includes adoption by relatives). This means that roughly 6.8 million couples are left childless year in and year out. Of those, let's say that only 5 million actually go forward with adoption (they must all want children, otherwise they would not have had their fertility tested and thus ended up on the CDCs list). Just suppose if every one of the 1.21 million abortions were instead carried to term, sponsored by American couples, and adopted. This would effectively end the abortion issue, plus it would still leave nearly 4 million couples open to the possibility of adopting overseas.
The above is purely a speculation, based on numbers and certain realities. Other realities exist, such as the fact that women want to be able to decide what to do with their bodies. Not just their bodies, but the bodies of those that grow within them, it seems. Messy exceptions litter the argument: rape, unwanted pregnancy, ill-fit and/or underage parental concerns. There is virtually no solution. But in the end it is all par for the course. No one really wants to adopt American children anyway. Everybody knows that Asian children are much smarter and more likely to achieve the means to take care of their parents when they are old anyway. Right?
