Yelling out side abortion clincs, waving pictures of dead babies.
Wouldn't it be better to offer to adopt the babies and help pay off the medical expenses of the woman who is having the baby?
or
Protest the Government to spend more money on reproductive medicine so that instead of having an abortion the fetus can be transported into the womb of a pro-life person.
These options seem more likely to actually save babies. Why do I never hear of pro-life people doing stuff like that.

Chris S, I want to thank you for showing the ignorance of some pro-life people by not actually reading the whole question.
I am trying to come up with better ways than yelling outside clincs, since that does not work.

No. They are speaking out for what the believe.
It's perfectly valid -- praise-worthy even -- for people to get out and express their opinions and try to get people to voluntarily change their minds to agree with them.
The only problem comes when they try to force others to adopt those beliefs against their will.
But your medical alternative is brilliant and effective. Just like funding medical research to develop artificial incubators, so no individual is forced to remain pregnant. Either way, freedom of choice is preserved and no unborn needs to be terminated.

Yeah, my question for them is: How many unwanted babies have you adopted lately??? I mean, with all due respect, if you have the time to stand outside of an abortion clinic protesting abortion, then you certainly have the time to raise some kids right?
Also, aren't many of these people the same people that ***** about people being on welfare and on drugs and look down upon them???? Well, maybe a lot of these people wouldn't be that way if they weren't raised by parents that didn't want them or couldn't afford them. Do you get my drift???
And my own mother was going to abort me, if my dad had left her. And I would have hoped that she did, because I wouldn't be the person who I am today had it not been for my father who raised me. Some people shouldn't be parents. Rather than bickering over the abortion issue, why don't we strive to make birth control more readily available and also to strengthen the sex education that our children receive??? No one WANTS to have an abortion and since they are so easily preventable why don't we focus on the underlying causes rather than blaming and juding people???

if yelling outside a clinic saves a baby it's worth the effort
to have the mother reconsider, yes adoption and having
mom be a surrogate mother is also very worthwhile and
doable. Your last option sounds good, but haven't heard
of it before. However, PEACEFUL protest is always
justified in righting a wrong, it's working with the discrimin-
ation issues in the US (not near fast enough) and will
work for the abortion issue (again, not near fast enough)
Thanks for a level-headed unhateful presentation

No...actually I think they are STALLING for time. What I mean to say is that they want to save the lives of the "unborn" and end those lives in wars from which they can turn a profit.
They think like this> Unborn ***save
18 year olds ***sacrifice
Pure mathematics done by the religious right. It's an Orwellian thing.

Because they don't care about saving fetuses. That much is evident by the kind of care they're willing to fund for babies. ("Babies" being creatures that have actually, you know, been born.) They're against any kind of welfare benefits, so women who can't afford to take care of children either have to let them starve or have to put them into the system, hoping someone will want them. The demand for any baby in this country that isn't white is very small, but they think every baby that is put up for adoption is adopted. If the kid has special needs? Forget it. They're against governmental funding and most people don't want to adopt kids with special needs.
It isn't about babies. It's about control.

Why should a person spend time coming up with an alternative to a bad law when it would be better to have the law changed.

Since when is raising a child a waste of time? Maybe you would prefer your mother had aborted you? Pro-life people believe every baby should be born to give that child the same chances at life that the living had. A baby is a gift from God. Every life is precious. A baby is the absolute definition of innocence. Does he not deserve a chance to live and become what God intends for him? Abortion is not about "choice." It's about convenience for the mother. Period.

You never hear Pro life people doing that because they don't care about abortion. They care about controlling women's bodies. It scares them. They believe they and you should live chaste virginal lives until married. Their mentality comes from the mythologies of the 1950's. It didn't happen then either, but they think it did.
BTW, your avatar is super cute.
