Let's you and I get together in 18-20 years when another 1970-80s style crime wave rolls over this country because there's 60 million more kids being raised in households that don't want them. That will be their revolution and we will ALL suffer.
If only there was a way for women to give their children to people that do want them...you know, legally where the new parents take over responsibility for the children and raise them themselves, freeing the woman that doesn't want the child to not be forced to raise the child herself...
There really should be some mechanism like this put in place...
So, based on this comment one should assume there currently aren't any children in foster homes and/or available for adoption.
I mean if there are so many people capable and willing to take these unwanted kids on there certainly shouldn't be any issue right now, correct?
To me this is similar to the idiot libs who want open borders, but wouldn't dare take some illegals in. How many kids are you going to adopt?
Most of the kids that don't get adopted are older and did not enter the foster system as infants.
There is a huge demand for infants. You can dislike that all you want, but there it is. Why do you think so many people adopt from overseas? Its a supply/demand situation and the demand is simply not being met by the domestic supply.
There are more than enough parents for infants. As I am a single (divorced) adult male past the point in life where I want to raise children I will not be adopting any kids, short of some family situation that may arise. That said, I volunteer as a case worker with CASA and work with kids in the foster system to get them the best possible situation and outcome.
The notion that to oppose abortion on demand I must agree to adopt some amount of theoretical children that will allegedly result as an unintended consequence of overturning a terribly reasoned and simply bad-on-the-law decision is farcical. It is at best faulty logic and at worst fear mongering to justify keeping a factually terrible ruling in place because it meets your political goals.
Roe is a terrible decision that was clearly the result of the court have a pre-conceived purely political decision in hand and then trying to justify their frankly unconstitutional actions by then backwards engineering some kind of justification to cover their unjustifiable actions. The Court wanted abortion to be legal and so they cobbled together rather ridiculous justification to make that ruling.
I don't want any court engaging in that kind of activism parading around as jurisprudence, and frankly no thinking person should.
