How many people here have had a troll respond with...

[LiberatedUSA]

…”Adoption not Abortion!!!”?

We have a Supreme Court justice making the exact same argument a troll would make. Her personal choice of adoption should not have any relevance to the judicial question at hand.

This was a very long game set up with her. “She can’t be racist, because she adopted a minority.” “She can’t be criticized for her religion cause other justices are Catholic.” and finally, “see, she walks the walk and adopted, so all women, young girls and rape victims should bring to term and give them over to adoption services.”

1. There's a whole adoption industry

She's feeding them bacon.

[4Q2u2]

10. They also are feeding them

New recruits. Catholic Charities has a huge adoption industry and has discriminatory practices built in.
People are fleeing the Church by the thousands now. Have to make those Christian Soldiers somehow.
What better way than have a young person to completely indoctrinate.

[wnylib]

20. More children for the priests?

[4Q2u2]

22. That is just a Bonus

Keeping their corrupt system in place is the Goal.

[NJCher]

2. Then the adoption industry

Should pay surrogate rates.

Ten grand a month sounds about right to me.

[Bluethroughu]

6. Yes! That's a perfect idea. Tax the rich to pay for it.

[Diamond_Dog]

3. I have said this before

Many more women die from childbirth than from an abortion. Death from an abortion is very rare, yet maternal mortality in some states is akin to the same statistics of a third world country. But the “pro-lifers” don’t get it.

“Adoption, not abortion” is a simplistic, shallow, slogan. One size does not fit all. The very idea that male politicians can force a woman to go through with this trauma is sickening.

[NanceGreggs]

11. As has been oft said ...

... if men could get pregnant, there'd be more abortion clinics than there are Starbucks.

[Progressive Jones]

38. Every sports bar, barber shop, and local mechanic shop. nt

[Ray Bruns]

26. It's not that they don't get it, they don't care.

[LiberalLoner]

34. The states with the strictest abortion laws have the highest infant mortality rates

4. I reply with "So how many have YOU adopted then?"

[NanceGreggs]

5. You're talking about a woman ...

... who thinks a wife should obey her husband without question, even to the point of voting for whoever her husband dictates she should vote for.

After I heard her say that, I wondered why the senators participating in her confirmation hearing didn't insist on questioning her husband - given that he would be making her SCOTUS decisions for her.

[Bluethroughu]

8. Excellent point. Her husband is doing their bidding.

[LiberatedUSA]

16. Even without abortion as an issue...

…the Republican Party, as a whole, told everyone their exact thoughts on women when they ran Sarah Palin as Vice President.

“See vagina. Same thing.”

[NanceGreggs]

17. "The Dems want a chick ...

... so we run a chick. One's as good as another."

[LiberatedUSA]

35. That right there was, IMHO, more offensive than "grab'em".

The grabbing comment was blatant and at a certain point you just realize the person is so terrible it isn’t worth it. The other was some insidious shit.

Running Sarah Palin as an answer to Hillary Clinton is like eating at a fine dining establishment, lifting a buttcheek, ripping a huge stinkier and then calmly going back to feeding yourself while everyone else is in the process of expelling their meals.

[GoCubsGo]

7. Just remind them of all the unwanted babies that wind up in dumpsters,

drowned in a toilet when their 14-year-old mother gave birth in the school bathroom, or abandoned in an alley, where they freeze to death... But, at least they weren't aborted, right Amy?

[LonePirate]

9. Conservatives have convinced the courts that a fetus has more rights than its mother.

It's insane and they won't stop with abortion rights.

[GoCubsGo]

12. They're salivating over the future cheap labor.

They love to rail on about the Chinese Communist Party, but the situation in China is exactly what they want for us. The Chinese have hundreds of millions of people, most of whom are working for dirt wages. And, that's not including the hundreds of thousands they round up on trumped-up charges, and turn them into the prison labor that makes a lot of the cheap shit they send here for us to purchase. Meanwhile, the guys at the top are filthy rich. It's a similar situation in Russia, too, where the average annual income is something like $4000. Meanwhile, Putin and his cronies are billionaires. It's no wonder so many GOPers are in bed with him.

[DeeNice]

18. not even a fetus...

Depending on who you ask an embryo doesn't become a fetus until at least 8 weeks. And they want to place a 6 week limit. Those are all embryos. Embryos to which they want to grant more rights than the fully grown person whose uterus it's in.

[Claire Oh Nette]

32. White babies...

"Conservatives have convinced the courts that a fetus has more rights than its mother."

Conservative men do not view women as equal. They're job is to procreate and hate sex. Just so long as their Fetus may turn out to be another white male.

The GOP has known since the 70s that demographic trends do not favor while, male, and conservative. The GOP does not care one whit about women, or their babies. But by god, they're not going to let those fuzzy little foreign brown people out breed the good ol'boys. If it were just Black and Latino women having abortions, the GOP would set clinics up in every strip mall.

The Gross Old Pervs, with their little blue pills, want to be sure more white babies are born. Look at the nonsense of the Quiverfull movement. Uneducated women pumping out another baby every 16 months so someone like Josh Duggar can diddle them. There's your family values.

Viagra ads are fine, bent carrot ads are fine, but god forbid we allow young women to see an ad about contraceptives or tampax. Who do these old renewed boner boyz think they're going to f***?

Women will not go backwards. No sir.

[elias7]

13. Legislation should require impregnator to provide mandatory prenatal and child support for 18 years

Where are the men in all this? Ridiculous...

[seta1950]

25. Yes

What about the men,are they ever going to be held accountable in all this?

[Ray Bruns]

28. Never. This is all about control over women.

[LiberalLoner]

14. "You can just put it up for adoption. No worries." You're going to tell that to the 13 y/o girl

impregnated by her 50 y/o uncle?
The result will be:
As the number of abortions go down
The number of suicides will go up.

[EYESORE 9001]

15. I've heard that argument for many years

It has no more validity than the first time I heard it. The logic behind that argument still scores a big fat zero.

[ashredux]

19. Where do you think all those kids taken from their parents at the border ended up?

Where do you think all those kids taken from their parents at the border ended up… The ones we can’t find

The far right Christian adoption agencies, that sold them off at bout 10 grand ahead

[seta1950]

24. You make a great point

Everything is about profit for gop/ christians

[Claire Oh Nette]

30. whole lot more than $10K

Church groups swarming the border and Haiti after the earthquake are no different form those who wanted to civilize the Indian out of native American children.

All in the name of Christainity. Forced conversion at the hands of one's "parents."

[WhiskeyGrinder]

21. Adoption is an option for someone who doesn't want to parent. Abortion is an option for someone who

doesn't want to be pregnant.

[LiberatedUSA]

27. Wow.

That is the most salient way I’ve ever seen the issue worded.

Thank you.

You just destroyed a Supreme Court justice’s argument.

[crickets]

33. Well said. nt

[seta1950]

23. Who says

We have to follow a justice, personal choice😤😤😤

[Claire Oh Nette]

29. Adoption is not the opposite of abortion...

Long lasting psychological trauma on the mother and the child from separation at birth.

Social engineering by any other name.

When there are no more American born children, of color, with disabilities, with special needs, older than diaper and pull-up age waiting in foster care to be adopted, then, maybe, we can talk about adoption. Overturn Roe, and we're right back to the Baby Scoop era of the 50s and 60s.

Infants are not commodities to be bought an sold. Nopety, nope, nope.

[lees1975]

31. She's a lawyer at heart, so adoption, which is a windfall profiteering business, is her choice

If you are really serious about considering adoption as an alternative to abortion, then the legal system needs to shove a whole lot of its profiteered cash windfalls to help cover the costs, or lower their fees. It's a money maker. Having been through the process with an agency that was owned and operated by a religious denomination, and eventually being told it would cost around $30,000, we decided to wait in line with the state agency, which took two years and cost $13,000 mostly in legal fees.

So I'm not surprised she has zero understanding of what regular people have to go through.
