OT Roe V Wade In Trouble

You could have just stopped there.

 

Plenty of folks want to adopt. Particularly, in the LGBTQ community.

 

There's over 400,000 kids in Foster care in the US right now. Lets start there.

 

And you think the current fascist Republicans will continue to "allow" the LGBTQ community to adopt children? I have a bridge in Brooklyn I would like you to adopt.

 

Probably because of parental drug use issues.

 

And who cuts funding for drug treatment and mental health facilities and treatment?

 

Foster children are put there for a variety of reasons. Not just "parents were on drugs"

Anyways, 7% of kids in Foster care are younger than a year.

If people want to adopt they can. We don't need to force raped women to add to that number.

 

What relevance is that?

 

Irresponsible sperm donors preying upon girls and women ....then going back to their wives and congregations, but sure...let's lump them all into drug addiction eh? Get a grip man!

 

They're all working on it.

Agreed. Raped women had no say in the matter.

 

Love your enthusiam.

But at any rate, yeah, drug addiction does play an ever-increasing part.

Never said it didn't ...I'm never clicking on your links...you should know by now..I choose my own reading material. Sex is an addiction too...they talk about that? If you've read the article you should be able to say what you got from it.

 

"On July 15, the academic journal JAMA Pediatrics published a study that examines how drug abuse and the Opioid Epidemic have strained the foster care system in the United States. The researchers obtained their data from the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System, a federal government information project. Almost 5 million children entered foster care between 2000 and 2017. There are many reasons why the authorities take children away from their parents, including neglect and child abuse. Drug addiction, especially addiction to opioids, is becoming an increasingly common reason. According to the study, 1,162,668 children entered the foster care system between 2000 and 2017 because of their parents’ drug addiction.

In many cases, state or local authorities determined that the parents were too addicted to drugs to adequately care for their children. Additionally, in other cases, the parents sometimes died from drug overdoses or went to prison for using or selling illegal drugs. In all of these situations, if the parents lacked relatives who could care for their children, their children entered the custody of the state.

In 2000, drug addiction was the cause of only about 15% of foster care entrances. By 2017, that percentage had grown to 36%."

 

Have you ever had an addiction in your life @ABM?

 

BBQ ribs.

 

15%-36% is a real minority...my post was more realistic...underaged pregnancy and sex addiction by the adult responsible...in many cases a pedophile or in some a relative, priest, teacher or irresponsible adult ......still not sure you read the article...you should try putting what you read into your own words instead of cutting and pasting. that would actually be a conversation...my mother and father were both orphaned in the Great Depression and it was because of poverty created by 3 years of drought. Mother reunited with her biological mom after she was 18 with her younger brother. Father went to the war as did his 3 brothers

 

Anything Jesus would consider sinful?

 

So, you're claiming a big reason kids go to foster homes is because of "irresponsible sperm donors preying upon girls and women ....then going back to their wives and congregations"

 

@ABM - what sins have you done that made you turn to God?

Don't want to answer?
