The Abortion Map Today by Linda Greenhouse

[Baobab]

1. A former colleague of mine was a self-styled adoptee rights activist and she told me this incredble

thing. Evidently, MONEY from adoption facilitation is what is driving the anti-choice movement.

In big chunks of America, fundamentalist churches main source of funding is so called "adoption facilitation" and its a huge unregulated export business. Evidently, no other country in the world with a Caucasian population - besides Russia where babies are now I think prevented from being adopted to the US, treats expectant mothers as badly as we do now, in terms of their being able to keep their babies. (All others in particular, have free health care, but we stick young mothers and/or families with huge bills if they do not have insurance or have inadequate insurance)

And that is intentional. because the fundamentalists churches now make something like $100k from each baby they take and sell. (In that case they pay the hospital bill)

Because of some law, from decades ago, they have some kind of monopoly on this.
