I would say 'why not adopt?'

In other words, exactly the same thing.

Thousands and thousands spent on forcing a thing that could be better spent on giving an adopted child a great life.

You mean hundreds of thousands. It's $150~$250K (at least) here since it is elective. We're talking about an extreme luxury that is inaccessible to a vast majority, at least in the US. And that's not even talking about what the financial picture look likes after for parent or child. That's just to give birth.
