Adoption is not an alternative to parenting. It's trafficking. Any woman who is forced to give birth to a baby that she is then forced to "give up" to adoption is absolutely not doing out of her own volition. Even in the Turnaway study, only 10% of the women who were denied abortions "chose" adoption and that was largely out of economic necessity. There is a very long and brutal history of girls and women forced into birth and their babies trafficked (and often killed for not being "marketable"). Anti-abortion wants to bring that barbarity back. I'll say it again: adoption is not an alternative to parenting. It's trafficking.

This needs to get a lot more press; I don't think most people are really aware.
I know and it's frustrating.
I wish that there was more good news on this front. ☹️
