Yes, we do. We have hundreds of charities that are dedicated to helping said children. My favorite right now is Let Them Live. The organization works with the mother to provide food, clothing, furniture, and everything else a mother would need to take care of the baby. They also provide other money and counseling for the mother as well. They regularly check in with the women and some of the mothers even end up working in the charity to help others. letthemlive.org
I just recently found out about the Christian Alliance For Orphans who work on helping families foster and adopt orphans. They are becoming a massive network of churches dedicated to helping orphaned children. cafo.org

They aren’t pro-life, they’re pro-birth. They couldn’t give a shit less once that happens.
I bet the pro-birther in this post hasn’t adopted anyone. What did the bible say about hypocrites again?

I can’t even afford a house in this economy, how am I supposed to adopt someone right now? I am happy to adopt once I get married and have my own place. Have you adopted anyone or would you just prefer murdering the children instead?

False Dichotomy: The message presents only two options: either adopt someone or support the hypothetical alternative, which is framed quite negatively as ‘murdering the children’. This is a false dichotomy because there are many other potential courses of action and viewpoints someone could have on the topic in question.
Ad Hominem: The phrase “would you just prefer murdering the children instead?” is an ad hominem attack, targeting the person instead of addressing the argument or issue at hand. Ad hominem attacks are often used as a distraction technique and they are logically fallacious because they don’t actually engage with the argument itself.
Red Herring: The reference to being unable to afford a house is a red herring – it’s a point that may seem related, but it’s actually not relevant to the question of adoption. One’s ability to afford a house has no inherent connection to one’s ability or willingness to adopt a child.
Generalization Fallacy: The argument seems to assume that adoption is the only viable or morally acceptable option once a person is married and has a house. This is a generalization that does not take into account the variety of individual circumstances, opinions, and potential solutions that exist.

Congratulations, you learned how to Google common fallacies. Your solution to orphanages was abortion as it was implied earlier, so that’s not a false dichotomy. If you want to pay for my adoption, I’ll adopt a child right now. I’ll send you my PayPal information.
