For it to work you would need the procedure to be cheap and you would also have to radically reform and clean up the adoption process.
The effect on politics would be dramatic. I know a whole ton of people who vote straight R on this issue alone. Killing the abortion issue would allow all kinds of realignment. For that reason you'd probably see hard opposition from the right to any attempt to actually end abortion. They need it as a "get out the vote" issue.
