Most experts agree that at most it was about 1.5 million nice middle class girls who were shipped off to maternity homes by their own families (Diablo 3 Gold). This was done because their families could not deal with the possible shaming of the community if their unmarried daughter was running around pregnant.
At those maternity homes these girls were told the truth about what they could expect as single parents. It would be hard to get a job, certainly not the kind that they said they wanted to do when they were little, and they would be very poor on welfare. They would no longer be guaranteed a free public education and its likely colleges may not want to deal with them either. It would be harder to find an apartment. Their marriage prospects were also reduced, many men would not want to deal with a woman who is obviously not a virgin and help to support a child who is not theirs.
The maternity homes were also very straightforward about what would be expected of their clients. Even the dumbest girls knew that this was a place to hide their pregnancy so they could go back home and pretend nothing happened. They went on walks and passes with money and came back. None have told me anything they did to try to keep their babies (Diablo 3 Gold).
Per The Baby Scoop Era Research Initiative and the books Sliar recommends one in five walked out of there with their babies. EnglTchr's mother had made an adoption plan and then walked out of the hospital with her baby. MommaElephant talks about how she found others pooling their checks and says she could have pulled it off. She found TWO apartments that rented to her when she was obviously pregnant and without a husband.
There were probably a few that were physically restrained (Diablo 3 Gold), or drugged, or whatever but not 1.5 million. The vast majority of these nice middle class girls willingly chose to do whatever daddy says so they didn't end up poor like the folks they were raised to believe they were better than. Even after losing their babies these women did exactly as they were told and didn't make a fuss about it until the poor women had already fought off most of the stigma of single motherhood. There is no record anywhere of many of the outrageous claims made here.
