[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it was up to JD Vance, I wouldn't have a family because of IVF.
Walz:

“Democrats are investing in prenatal care. We're the ones that are for universal pre-K. We're the ones that are providing school meals. I'm not gonna back down one bit on this whole family values thing. We're making it more affordable to have children by having paid family and medical leave. Where is JD Vance's program?”

Damned straight, Tim.  This is why people like him & not the that freak, Vance. [/quote]

Sounds good on the surface, if you are fine with increased taxes, increased gas and electricity prices, increased crowding of cities and schools. A huge no for many.[/quote]

So the Republican plan is to force birth and, at this point, the babies can pull themselves up by their bootstraps. And they wonder why polls are reversing. [/quote]

I am pro choice but posts like this don’t help. There is another option that too many pro choice advocates ignore when screaming about how awful republicans are. If a woman gives birth to an unwanted baby she is not forced to raise it. Plenty of Americans would love to adopt a newborn.  [/quote]

The majority of babies that are actually adopted in the US are white babies.  While "plenty of Americans woudl love to adopt a newborn" the vast majority want white babies.  Right now, there are waits for white babies while minority babies are not being adopted and are forced into the foster care system if the mother rescinds her parental rights.

Right now, poverty is the leading indicator for who want and get the most abortions.  Yes, I know that the Republicans are against "abortions as contraception" but the fact is that the poor are generally less educated about birth control and less able to get birth control.  Many poor do not live within easy travel to free clinics and often don't know about the ability to get contraceptive care at free clinics.  And many poor women are talked out of contraceptive care.  The other contributing problem is that minorities are represented in much larger percentages in poor communities than in the general public or higher income levels.  That means that many more pregnancies and abortions happen in poor communities which means larger percentages of minorities than the general popular.

Your policy would only exacerbate an existing problem.  Yes, there would be more white babies for people to adopt, but there would also be far more minority babies available and people still would be less interested in adopting them and therefore even more of those babies would end up in the foster care system.  Having a larger foster care system perpetuates many of the problems with income disparities, such as increased risk of delinquency, increase risk of gang participation and increases in crime rates, especially among juveniles.
