[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It's this simple, if you have a child you cannot afford then don't expect uncle sam to bail you out - adoption is a healthy alternative and there are many people out there with the money management ability to both love AND care for a child, unlike many parents who do not think before they do the deed[/quote]

This was the prevalent societal thinking during the "Baby Scoop" era of the 1930s to early 1970s.  It is a fairy tale and it is about controlling women and their sexuality.   Adoption is a "healthy" alternative for WHOM?  It isn't for the woman who does not wish to be pregnant and carry a baby to term.  It isn't necessarily for the child placed for adoption.  Read the recent New Yorker article doing a deep dive into the lives of adoptees and their stories.  One key fact in that article---most adoptees are themselves pro-choice.  I am SO sick of Catholics and Evangelicals trying to impose their religious beliefs about when life begins onto the rest of us.  Let the Catholics and Evangelicals who find themselves with unwanted pregnancies live out their beliefs, carry the pregnancies to term, and then place the child for adoption.  But leave the rest of women---the Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, mainline Christian protestants, and athiests and agnostics (apologies to the belief systems I have omitted) alone.  [/quote]
