Republican Party: Those kids made bad choices. They could have chosen to be born into families of millionaires or billionaires, or they could have chosen to remain in the uterus — either way, we Republicans would have given them every protection and every benefit.
When they chose to leave the uterus and enter into the world via the underclass, they knew what they were getting into.
Why do you think that baby booties come with bootstraps, anyway??
All I could think of is that bumper sticker which anti-choice people have on their vehicles: "Adoption – The Non-Violent Choice"
What are you liberals worried about? As long as there is abortion on demand right up to the delivery date like there is in Colorado, there should be no such thing as an unwanted child. Be consistent!
Moderatus, you should really know the law before you write about the law. In Colorado, "late term abortion" is usually up to 26 weeks, and in extreme circumstances, (death of the fetus, threat to the life of the mother, and/or or severe medical problems), it is obtainable up to 34 weeks.
A normal pregnancy, which you hopefully remember from your own kids, lasts 40 weeks.
How about you do your homework, Moddy, and learn what the laws on abortion actually are in Colorado? Your comment reveals your ignorance, which appears to grow daily, only outpaced by your unjustified self-confidence and dishonesty.
Gotta love the GOP's consistency here. Banning all abortions would ensure that a 14-year-old rape victim must carry her rapist's baby to term. Eliminating the tax credit will help ensure that the 14-year-old gets stuck raising the rapist's baby to adulthood.
Cuz it has nothing to do with the health, safety and welfare of babies. It has everything to do with punishing slutty behavior (the 14-year-old was certainly "asking for it," after all).
Well…it may also have something to do with the fact (from ChildTrends) that, while white children comprise 56% of live births, only 37% of adopted children match that description. It is just another way to keep down the number of adopted brown and black children…who might grow up to be Muslims.
Or worse. Liberal Democrats.
Adoptive parents losing that tax credit won't hurt healthy, white infants nearly as much as it will older kids in foster care waiting for a forever family. "Waiting kids" often come with a bucketful of problems that can be very expensive to address. If that tax credit goes away, many of those kids will remain in fosterage, where the state picks up the tab for their medical and psychiatric care through Medicaid. Does that sound like a good idea to you, Moddy?
