re: #294 notamolly

There are waiting lists for babies. There are plenty of eager adoptive parents who would give their right eye for a baby. Why do you think people go overseas and spend thousands of $$ for a kid? Next argument please.

this isn’t accurate. look at adoption statistics. many adoptive parents are looking for something very specific… a newborn caucasian baby. nobody is lining up to adopt developmentally challenged baby of any race. nobody is lining up to adopt black babies. nobody is lining up to foster kids who were born to single mothers and have massive developmental challenges…

your argument is not only incorrect - its morally toxic. most people advocating the type of abortion absolutism we’re discussing would never even contemplate trying to foster or adopt kids coming out of these types of situations. its armchair moralism that has profound impact… life-altering impact on many people.
