Solving a problem with a problem.

The crux of the problem is babies, not enough babies being born. There is another problem, unwanted pregnancies, ending in abortions. Every day babies are being born; every day fetuses are being aborted; there is a shortage of babies. This is the state of the whole affair.

Putting the two problems together, it does tell us that one problem is the solution to the other ? Perhaps this is not apparent to adults who tend to see problems together as a bigger problem. Maybe to people without prejudice there is a simple solution.

There is a technique taught in management courses known as lateral thinking, and this technique often leads to a simple solution of problems which appear complex and difficult.
Supposing these problems were posed to a group of young orphans, it is my imagination that, being innocent as they are, they would offer a solution, perhaps like this:

1. Do not allow the abortions.
2. Provide a way out for the mothers to be, and take care of them.
3..Nurture the pregnancies and let the babies be born.
4. Set up a department to take care of these babies, they are citizens.
5. Appoint foster parents to provide them a family environment.
6. Allow the mothers to take the babies back when they are able and if they want to.
7. Provide for these citizens up to their full potential to adulthood.
8. Where there is a will there is a way, fighters are not quitters.

Does this not make sense, stalling one problem to negate the other.
This is not a joke, it will work.
The pregnancies have been, are, and will be, there always;
let the fetuses survive, and there will be no more baby shortage.
