If Roe falls, adoption may become 'replacement' for abortion. One adoptee argues it shouldn't.
With abortion rights on the verge of collapse, some conservatives have acknowledged that pregnant people will need more support.
When Justice Samuel Alito wrote the leaked draft of his opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, he cited the conservative argument that someone who places a newborn for adoption today will likely find the baby a good home because of high demand. “Roe is about privacy,” Christian says. “It has nothing to do with pregnancy, birth, or parenthood. ... Adoption is not a substitute for abortion because of the repercussions of forced pregnancy, forced birth and forced surrender of a child.”,” the push for adoption over abortion has strong historical echoes.
During that period, the “Baby Scoop Era,” there was little sex education or birth control. Some 4 million American women, mostly unwed, were forced to give birth to and then give up babies, says Glaser.
