"If you're going to be pro-life you need to be pro-adoption,"


Recommended Posts

"to fix the "moral and legal failing" of how expensive adoption has become and how difficult it is to navigate adoption services" 

https://www.businessinsider.com/mike-pence-wants-abortion-illegal-and-big-businesses-cover-adoption-2022-7

interesting perspective as both my father, aunt and one of my best friends are adopted, and all are boomers.  I don't fully agree with most of what Pence said, but do agree that making adoption should be far less costly and something which should be encouraged by appropriate potential parents rather than making abortion the defacto choice.

“If you’re gonna be pro-life, you need to be pro-adoption. The cost to adopt a child in the United States can be as much as $70,000 to the family. It should not cost the average American worker more than a year’s worth of salary to adopt a child,” he said.

What this country lacks most from my POV is a moral compass that doesn't necessarily involve 'religion' but compassion. 

This is likely a topic that will as usual fall upon deaf ears in today's society, but I applaud Pence for at least identifying an understated issue.

none

you? any kids at all? 

maybe adoption is a thing of the past, like volunteering for literally anything

I keep forgetting we live in a 'me, me, me' world 

in hindsight at my age and because my wife is a wonderful person and mother... we should have

You’re advocating for adoption, while not doing it yourself, 

I’m sure that clear , but perhaps you have the same brain problem as Jimmah the dumfuck?
