I somehow missed this last month. A good article about life, compassion and choice:
Add incentives for religious and private-sector organizations to provide money and means for young mothers who want to raise their babies themselves, and we’re starting to get somewhere. Again, if we stipulate that abortion itself is a tragic act, wouldn’t a robust and ubiquitous network of alternatives be helpful? When you offer people good choices, bad laws become irrelevant.
Naturally I’m onside with this, since we here at PWPL are dedicated to making our current bad law/legal vaccuum irrelevant. The tricky part is how to create those incentives. Young women today know where to go for an abortion. It is so easy. Since I can’t stop them on the sidewalk (bubble zone laws and this strikes me as on the late side, anyway) what’s a girl to do?
I continue to brainstorm on that point.
As a side note, the world needs more pro-life asset managers.

There’s an old, old idea that existed in europe some centuries back, and has been revised in a few places: The baby box.
Women who find they can’t cope with a baby, or have one they don’t want, can just place the baby in a hole in the wall, and walk away. Someone on the other side is alerted, comes and takes the baby, and ensures it’ll be cared for properly. Completly anonymous and nonjudgemental.
The theory behind it is that any women who would place her baby in the box isn’t fit to be a mother anyway :>
Suricou: The major problem with that idea, at least from what I’ve understood from staunch pro-abortive types, is that the woman still has to “suffer through” the “discomfort, judgement, and pain” of carrying a child for 9 months and then birthing them… and then deal with the “difficult questions afterwards”…
(Please forgive my overuse of quotation marks, I am too tired to give voice to my disgust with this attitude in a more colourful way… or maybe it’s just the pregnancy making me stupid…)
True. And even if you put that aside, it still wouldn’t eliminate the need for abortion – there’d be the medical reasons still, and you can’t really prohibit those unless you’re willing to endanger women’s lives. But it might at least reduce the incentive to abort a bit, so I’d expect some pro-lifers to support the idea.
It depends on their objective though. Some of them wish only to minimise the number of abortions performed, others will be satisfied with nothing less than reducing the number to zero regardless of the consequences.
