The big question: How much is enough to convince a woman to go through with a pregnancy?

p>One way to tell is to look at women who already do basically that. Various websites put a surrogate mother's fees at around $12,500. Surrogate mothers go through some things that already-pregnant women won't, so if anything a little less than that should make a difference. On the other hand, the waiting lists for adoptions are long enough that there is virtually no risk, at least in the short term, of infants going unadopted. br> Whatever the case, as it stands, the promise to reduce abortion carries no weight. If Giuliani and Romney hope to appeal to pro-life voters, they'll need to look at the facts and come up with something stronger. /p>
