If you're not a fan of capitalism...
If you're outraged by the separation of immigrant families...
Are you also speaking up about the adoption industry that commodifies children and transfers them primarily from women without means to wealthier families?
If you understand the problems associated with international and transracial adoption, do you extend your concern to transferring children between families for reasons of social status and class ("opportunity")?
Did you know that the vast majority of women denied abortions choose to parent their "unwanted" children rather than transferring those children to other families?
If you still think adoption is a good "solution" to the problem of "unwanted pregnancies" (aka lack of financial resources and social safety net, primarily), it's time to update your understanding.
Adoption’s warm, fuzzy reputation doesn’t hold up to reality
