fallout from roe vs wade

[BPPLEE]

How could the two be compared? How does one measure experience against nonexistence?

You can't. That it may cause some discomfort for a child to find out they are adopted is not a valid argument against adoption. If the alternative is abortion there's no comparison.

 

[Ken-1122]

We already have a system like that except that the women keep their babies and the government gives them a check. It's called AFDC

This sounds like something that will just add to an already existing problem.

It does. More kids more checks. And if the kid does poorly in school and gets evaluated they can get another check.

Wouldn't that result in a bunch of rachid women purposely having babies, and putting them up for adoption just to get the money?

There is an unpleasant stench of misogyny in your post. I trust that the vast majority of women will make rational and sensible decisions regarding their health and reproduction. Yes, it’s possible that some women may be motivated by monetary concerns. Or they’re acting under the duress of husbands or boyfriends. But there are far worse ways of earning money than giving the greatest gift possible to people who really want to have children.

Perhaps what you smell is the truth.

Whatever their reasons, it is a bad idea to bring a child into this world for money.

But there are far worse ways of earning money than giving the greatest gift possible to people who really want to have children.

A lot of children are difficult to get adopted and spend their childhood in the program. We shouldn't make that problem worse. Also; a bad idea is never justified by pointing to something worse.

That’s true for older children. Babies are in high demand.

White babies are in high demand. Black and brown; not so much

This is quoted from the OP:

the problem is SO many Christians wanted roe vs wade overturned yet these same Christians NEVER step up
only 5% of Christians have adopted children

come on Christians step up and act
look into adopting a child!

Are Christians also not interested in adopting non-white children? Shouldn't they be an example? As scripture says:

Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

Matt 5:15

I don't think it has much to do with Christians vs non Christians, but Whites vs non Whites.

Shouldn't they be an example?

No more than anyone else!

A city on a hill, a light to the world, unless any of that takes effort.

This is right-wing propaganda.

LOL. This is reality. My time in law enforcement and my wife's time as a teacher we witnessed it firsthand.

I know Christians who have adopted African American children

our child is non white being adopted from another country

not easy for a child with parents who don't look like them
it's not easy to be a family that doesn't match
where ever we go, people stare at us ALL THE TIME

I'm sorry you have to go through that. A lot of people are idiots.

It’s sad and disheartening that people would act that way. But the problem is theirs, not yours. As a Christian, it may give you some comfort to pray that they will realize their error.

Are you under the impression all Christians are white? Are you not aware that there are black, brown, and other non-white people who are also Christian? Or am I misunderstanding you.

Again, this is right-wing propaganda, straight out of the Republican playbook.

All because people are so stupid and can't see past color.
