that's not what i said. many conservatives believe that instead of aborting, people should adopt. do you know how many more children there would be up for adoption. so if that's what the conservatives want, then they better be adopting all those kids.
Well, the Conservative position is not completely represented in your post.
People should generally refrain from risking pregnancy until they are in a loving, committed, stable marriage. Sexual relations between people in a serious engagement is a common exception given by Conservatives.
Married couples who do not want any, or just any more, children, should have themselves fixed.
Those who do become pregnant should marry and form a home for their child, rather or not they planned on it, rather or not it is very, very disruptive to their lives. If they do not want the child, something is wrong with the parent. It is their error to not feel and express love to their child and to not place the child as THE priority.
In these cases I suggest appropriate counseling for the parents, as it is clear that something is wrong with them.
In the situations where marriage is just imposable, such as one or both parent(s) being already married (
assuming polygamy is illegal at this time and place), in the event of rape or incest, etc., the single parent should raise the child with the help of family.
When the parents themselves are children, have physical or mental disabilities or any number of other factors which totally impair their ability to provide for their child, then adoption is a viable option.
So, we start with reducing the number of unwanted pregnancies to begin with.
Then, those who are capable raise their own children.
We will still have children waiting to be adopted, of coarse, as being unwanted is not the sole reason why children are placed in foster care.
I have a foster brother who went into the system with his sister when both of his parents were arrested for Possession with Intent to Distribute.
Yet despite the fact that children are placed for foster-adoption when their parents are locked up for Federal convictions, I have yet to hear someone forward your argument and suggest that everyone opposed to (
insert Federal offence of choice here) should adopt all sorts of children out of the system; and so I am inclined to assume that your argument is not genuine.
That’s how this Non-Denominational Christian Fundamentalist, Independent Conservative represents it.
