Well since you want to kill kids in the womb to alleviate this problem, why not just kill the kids waiting to be adopted too, problem solved.

Re: 130,000 kids waiting to be adopted in the US
There are a lot of couples opting out of having kids these days, and I predict that by the time these people reach 45-50, their tune will change, and they'll want kids, but won't be able to have their own...and they'll adopt.
That's just my theory.

Simple Ray. Pro-life cry about the murder of the unborn when they can't stand up for the born children...who were once unborn. Okay, the scared unborn appears...now what? Did you look at the link in the OP?

13k adoptions waiting to happen, and millions of abortions taking place.
it's a war on babies/kids, and the women are winning.. hands down.

Sykes...this is the link that Pro-life turn a blind eye to. The truth that they denounce. The reality they deny.
Thanks...

No. Sadly, they're losing too.

Re: 130,000 kids waiting to be adopted in the US
I don't know why you continue to make this claim, which is patently false. So I'm going to repeat what I've posted to you so many times: Somebody out there is offering shelter and job training and other support to mothers/young couples who choose to keep their babies. Creating low-cost/sliding scale clinics that offer a real choice beyond abortion. Many, if not most, of those doing what they can are pro-life.

You are not going to be able to pry most of these kids out of the foster care system with a crowbar. There is big money off the government keeping kids in limbo.

Let's wipe out all population control nuts. It's helping them fulfill their own stupid agenda.

Re: 130,000 kids waiting to be adopted in the US
Now's your chance to contribute to the cause. Start by adopting the 130,000 kids talked about in the OP's Link...which you didn't even look at.

What I was alluding to is, I believe, beyond your appreciation.

Not till we've buried the bleeding hearts. It's hard to concentrate with rabid occupier types barking about overpopulation.

I have no appreciation for people who whine about the unborn and ignore the born.

Re: 130,000 kids waiting to be adopted in the US
meh, not really.. my cousin and her husband are foster parents.... 12 kids. ( 3 of their own, plus 9 foster kids who might as well be their own)
they struggle, and I subsidize their endeavor quite a bit.... the foster parents rates fall short of what it takes to raise a kid

Re: 130,000 kids waiting to be adopted in the US
Ever consider that the system i.e. the people in Social Services' jobs depend on there being lots of foster kids? I know someone who wanted to adopt their foster child and they were told if they even applied to adopt the child would be removed from their custody and they would not get him back until after the adoption went through in a couple years. They opted to just keep him as a foster child and then he changed his name legally when he was 18 to theirs.

Re: 130,000 kids waiting to be adopted in the US
That illustrates the completely horrible adoption laws that exist in the states. It would be great if our lawmakers stopped fighting over abortion and made it easier to adopt. But that would take away a major wedge issue of the 2 parties.

Re: 130,000 kids waiting to be adopted in the US
I often hear that women should stay pregnant, and give the baby up for adoption.
