Incredibly Smart

The core idea here is actually incredibly smart.

An anti-abortion advocate proposes giving women $500 to not have an abortion and instead give up their baby for adoption. (a similar idea is floated in Citizen Ruth, Alex Payne's first movie). The details of this particular plan are dumb - the women needs to show up at the abortion clinic and change her mind. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

But why not pay women with unwanted pregnancies to give up those children for adoption? One could get the anti-abortionists to pay for it - come on, $500 to save a human life, that's a real test of your beliefs! But it also would help the mothers with unwanted pregnancies.

I guess the downside is that women might start getting pregnant just for the money. (Fine, I know that's cynical, but we're talking economics and incentives here...)
