So what are your thoughts on pregnant people who don't want to be parents but don't want to abort? Not people who are pressured/told they "can't be parents" and not people who are told "abortion is evil" or kept away from it - obvs that's different. But not every pregnant person wants to be a parent, or not a parent at that time. How do you feel about adoption when the bioparents just don't want to be parents?

Sure, I’ll generously share your loaded query conveniently isolated in a post-racial fantasy snowglobe that’s sans capitalism, sans oppression, and one where single mothers aren’t shamed via myriad channels & legion microaggressions for “transgressions” out of wedlock, why not?

Oh, and apparently yours is also a world where consenting birth mothers never change their mind last minute— you do realize that happens more times than not, right? The saint-like progressive aura of the “savior” gets a wee mussed when initial attempts to get a kid are consistently thwarted :) Factor in the harsh reality that for any one baby or “orphan” there are 36578327502945283438 privileged adopters competing for it

^helps explain why adopters go from “helping a poor young woman out” to “I DESERVE YOUR OFFSPRING MORE THAN YOU YOU INFERIOR SLUT!!11” in 10 seconds.

Happy to shed light on your little snowglobe:
