      Yes but you see, 2,000 years ago God told some random dudes to write a book that says almost nothing about abortion, which of course means today that abortion is very very bad and we should never do it. It’s important that we write our laws keeping in mind what God told these guys 2,000 years ago, even though the book they wrote doesn’t actually say abortion is wrong.

      Unfortunately, it’s not in the interests of those who benefit from the poor and uneducated to decrease the number of poor and uneducated.

      Adoption is a tough thing to control. If they make it easier, corporations could eventually find a way to take advantage and profit from it.

        Eh I dunno about all that. As far as I know, state-run adoption and foster programs really just need the funding to employ (and adequately pay) the right number of people to do a good job. As it sits, most caseworkers and admin staff are so overwhelmed by the kid to staff ratio that they don’t have the time to ensure everything is copacetic in each individual case.

        The solution to your point is to keep the private sector as far away as humanely possible.
