Oh, also, I thought you might find it interesting, but one of the books I've had for a while but haven't got far into because of everything else is called The Kindness of Strangers, on the topic of child abandonment in Europe from ancient times till the Renaissance.

Funny, it seems that when birth control and abortion weren't available, a LOT of people abandoned their children! Stats are obviously hard to find, but there are historical references saying stuff like 10% of children were abandoned.

I was already pro-abortion, but that helped cement it. The adoption system is already overloaded, let's not encourage a RETURN to those times.
