[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Selfishness is EXACTLY what it is.  My child sat as a ward of the state for years more than was necessary because neither birth parent or extended family was willing to relinquish custody and release the child for adoption.  Nor did they ever visit or provide support.  Women who cannot face the reality that they [b]are unable to meet their child's basic needs and seek a better life for that child are the definition of selfish.   [/b]There is an interim societal position between the evils of past coercive practices and the emphasis on biological family preservation that exists now.[/quote]

Based on that criteria the vast majority of women in impoverished nations should just relinquish their children for adoption because they are unable to meet their basic needs and thus are "selfish." [/quote]

Maybe some PPs would be pleased with that - more kids to adopt!

Some moms in impoverished nations who were unable to meet their kids' basic needs DID seek a better life by trying to enter the United States--and had their kids taken from them. Absolute evil, but plenty of Americans were able to justify it like, "Well, those moms broke the law" or whatever, even though seeking asylum is not a crime. I guess they are accustomed to justifying children being taken from their parents.

You wouldn't think that it would need to be said, that you are not entitled to other people's children. But feeling that entitlement might be consequence to this line of dehumanizing thinking that started with the Baby Scoop. Divide people into groups: WE are good and worthy of being parents; THEY are low-class degenerate sluts, but they have babies and WE deserve them.
