I'd suggest that more than money is at stake here. Let's take a 17-year-old from a nice family who's bound for college on a scholarship. Let's further say she runs afoul of her fertility. She really really doesn't want this child, not now. The issue isn't money (unless it's enough money for a full-time nanny!) but time. A college girl needs to focus entirely on her studies in order to get the sort of degree and GPA that makes for a career. Having a child without a nanny would take all sorts of time - and torpedo any try at a higher education. An abortion would be an obvious choice here. The alternative would be for some agency, ideally a private foundation run by the moral or conscientous objectors to the availability of abortion - to guarantee adoptive placement in a good home. Then our high school senior gets her life back - for the price of an unwanted and very humbling pregnancy. betcha she won't engage in risk behavior again... until she wants a child! Would this work?
