Christian adoption site supports baby on baby action? (Check out the
picture on the front page.)
\_ while already-born children go unadopted. nice.
\_ Well, it kind of makes sense. It's about as anti-abortion as you
can get short of live-birthing someone else's aborted fetus.
\_ As I understand it, it's very hard to adopt a baby, demand
far outstrips supply. It is easy to adopt older children,
but most people don't want to do that. I wouldn't be
surprised if this organization supported older child
adoption as well, they almost certainly aren't against it,
but it seems pretty reasonable to respond to demand with
supply to me.
\_ Sure, but in this case the supply of widgets that we're
talking about are children who aren't being adopted.
These are essentially "unwanted" children. So, isn't it
better to solve the unwanted children problem with abortion?
\_ As I just pointed out, adpoting babies is hard. If
people know they don't want a baby when it's a baby
(or in utero), finding someone to adopt it is pretty
easy. (Assuming the baby is healthy). Since
retroactive abortion is currently illegal, abortion
does not solve the our current problems with unwanted
children, who are older. Of course, part of the
reason adoption is hard now is because abortion has
cut off much of the supply.
\_ It's even harder than that. Many court decisions have
given the birth parents the right to "take back"
parenting rights even years after the adoption goes
through.
\_ Yeah, does anyone think that's a good idea? |
