It doesn’t matter who I THINK adopts, fosters, and feeds the neediest children. Unlike you, I go by what research and statistics say. So, it’s about who DOES help needy children.

According to statistics, people from all walks of life adopt, foster, and feed needy children, including those who don’t believe in a god.

Only 5-percent of “Christians “adopt a child in their lifetime. There are many non-faith-based adoption agencies, foster homes, and feed the children programs who also help.

But I wasn’t talking about organizations. I’m talking about the mean-spirit individuals who protest outside abortion centers and attempt to make women feel ashamed and unsafe.

Who thinks they have a right to force their religious beliefs on others, and who think they have a right to tell a woman what she can and can’t do with her body and her fetus.

I’m talking about individuals who pressure a government that’s supposed to have a separation of church and state to make abortion illegal.

I’m saying if those people were used their energies for good instead of evil to support and care for children who already exist, and if they took the billions of dollars spent every year on anti-abortion activism and lobbying and helped women and children with it, that would be far more caring and effective.

There are 437,000 children in foster care in the US. Over half of them are six-years or older. Only 135,000 adoptions occur each year.

African American children represent the highest number of children without a home. But white babies are more sought after and are adopted far more frequently.

More than 60-percent of children in foster care have to wait 2–5 years before they get adopted.

Now, that’s just the children in foster care.

Over 16 million children don’t have enough food to eat, and one in five US children will experience hunger that’s profound enough to cause suffering.
I won’t bother getting into the millions who don’t have enough clothing or proper shelter.

So yeah, let’s add to that by forcing women with unwanted pregnancies to deliver babies they most likely can’t afford (because lack of financial resources is the number one reason women get abortions). And who will probably have to give up their child to an overcrowded foster or adoption center?

Or maybe the anti-abortionists that protest in front of clinics could practice their religious beliefs: as in — “though shalt, not judge,” or “He who is without sin”?

Because your Jesus wouldn’t stand outside of an abortion clinic with a fucking sign, now would he?
