So DU is now anti-adoption?

111. Lioness, you have been in the threads.

Abortion and adoption are not the same. There should be no arguments that pit the two against each other. That is what Republicans do. But Democrats, Liberals, Progressives should not demonize adoption to bolster the argument for choice. There is NO NEED to do that. There is no need for threads like "Adoption Harms Women". That shit is just hurtful.


Even as an adopted child of rape victim I am pro-choice to my bones. I also know that adoption can be a good thing, is often a good thing. Bashing adoption as a way to somehow argue for choice is really offensive. It's hurtful. It's infuriating.

I'm pretty sure you have seen the comments and No, I won't go back and get examples because frankly I am too upset. Maybe because you aren't adopted it's easier to brush off.

The last 24 hours or so have left a bitter taste in my mouth because I am left with the feeling there are some here who would argue that I never should have been born.
