text: what about this for a new idea? what if they legalized gay marriage and made abortion illiegal, then the gays would be able to get the kids up for adoption! sorry, they already tried that once and just like prohibition it didn't work. check the history books. there was a time back in the 20th century when abortions actually were illegal. and you know what? gays still couldn't adopt.   been there. tried that.  *
