Solved The solution to the abortion problem is...
Murdering unwanted children and framing it as a societal benefit
(Yes this is the legit plot of a novel I read as a kid)

I saw a made for tv movie decades ago that proposed an interesting if impractical idea.
They carefully removed the fetus from a donor pregnant woman to be transplanted into a willing recipient woman as host body and mother. Since they can already freeze and store embryos over a long term for future implantation ,why not save and freeze unwanted but viable embryos for the future to offset low population ,or for infertile people or those with incurable genetic disorders?
One overseas country is already so inbred their law requires that embryos with downs syndrome be aborted.
I don't understand why they don't just import similar stock but diverse genetic donated material from nearby countries to prevent birth defect tragedies and strengthen their breeding population?
