Whos not offering to take care of kids? Adopting is a privilege in this country under the current law.

If some states are going to criminalize abortion than there absolutely should be some investment into adoption and fostering. Those states would need to find a way to encourage more people to adopt or foster, and by more people, I mean more of the right kind of people
And in order for it to be the right kind of people, those programs need to not lie to people (which they do) and downplay the negatives of the experience. They downplay the reality that many of these kids will have been substance exposed, abused and neglected. They will have sometimes major negative behaviors. The right kind of person is someone who knows this in advance and can handle it in a healthy way. The wrong kind of person will either bail immediately further messing the kid up, or worse abuse/neglect the kid more
The best way to motivate people is money. Offer to pay more or remove the costs to adopt. Something like that. I think it’s a foolish move to attempt to reduce or criminalize abortion without also improving infrastructure. And the same goes for pushing birth control better
