What is so amusing about it is that many people at the time thought it was serious and even liked the idea. Seeing the state of American society, I can't help but wonder if it would have been equally believed today.
I think illegal abortion is probably a double-edged sword; it will obviously reduce the abortion rate, but it does nothing to solve the problem of these children born to mother's who do not want them and might not properly care for them or be able to care for them. And adoption is not always the cure for this.
Legal abortion of course has its own set of ethical and moral issues with the public, which I'm sure everyone is aware of. My opinion on the matter is actually pretty ambivalent.
