Of course they are not holding a sign to urge people to adopt children. I am sure the context is their sign is meant to urge pregnant women with unwanted pregnancies to choose to give birth and give the child up for adoption instead of abortion.

(38,643 posts)But if all of the pregnant women they are urging to give up their children for adoption did so, there have to be loving, appropriate, families to adopt them. Someone self-righteously proclaiming that the solution to an unwanted pregnancy is to give birth and give the child up - is not actively engaged in providing appropriate homes is hypocritical.
It is not a one-sided equation.

Its clearly lame stream fake media. How dare they ask relevant questions? Clearly this is deep state manipulation funded by George Soros or other big nosed conspiracists.
I join you in your outrage my freedom brother.

(2,847 posts)If he asked them 'have you had to make the choice to carry an unwanted pregnancy and then give the child up to adoption' that is a real question directly pointed at their intent. I have no doubt they would have the same answer as they did to his other question, but it would have been more in their face and powerful than his version that just gave it a somewhat silly tone that allows many to not see the hypocrisy.

Ive chatted with these idiots outside our clinic and the next door planned parenthood. The list of shit they dont get is a long one and is NOT getting shorter.

(7,334 posts)Almost 20 years ago I marched in the big Anti War protest in DC...you remember, "Talk To Cindy". (I think a million or more of us were there that day - but as usual - even all those years ago - the M$M estimated several tens of thousands
)
We pretty much walked the whole route alongside "The Singing Grannies". Those 5 or 6 gals were awesome protesters. I was with my wife, but boy if I had been single I would have partied with them all night long. (I was in my forties, the youngest Granny was pushing 75).
We sang songs, yelled slogans, ate cookies (seriously) and just had a great time expressing our dissatisfaction with GWB and the Iraqi War. Those ladies walked the walk and talked the talk. Several of them had been arrested multiple times for protesting various causes.
Somehow I don't see these 4 spending one second in a cell for any cause. Hell I don't think they got the sarcasm in the reporter's questions.
Chalk up another thing Dems are superior at - protests.

(20,356 posts)Devout Catholics, had a huge "Choose Life" mural painted on their barn facing the road, complete with an 8' tall fetus(!), but infertile. Every other sibling had at least 3 kids; one aunt has 8.
They made good money on the farm. New house, new trucks, took vacations. Did they ever adopt or even foster? Nope.
