will he adopt random children

You pro-death (er, pro-"choice") people are supposed to be the intellectual ones, right? But all logic seems to break down with you:
Premise #1: I am Pro-Life
Premise #2: You are not
Conclusion: I must agree to support all children on the planet.

huh?

"That would be a necessary requirement if he wants to force them to be carried to term."

Not at all, I don't need to adopt every victim of the Holocaust in order to object to it on moral grounds.

Yes--one assumption of his "argument" is that an unwanted fetus is wanted (valued) by somebody. The proof of that on a personal level would be to undertake the care of the abnormal fetus until it dies--whether that be before or after birth. The proof of that on a social level would be to advocate and support the social collection of tax money sufficient to the care and support of ALL averted abortions--not merely nationally, but worldwide. Human Beings are surely a larger set than mere citizens.
