Well, if they believed in science, they would understand that an unborn baby is a human being. I believe from conception, but there is no serious argument that a second or third trimester baby who has developing organs, sensation, and consciousness of pain is not a human being.

Do you mean to tell me that a liberal is thinking about consequences? The people of "Do something. Anything!". The democrat party that heedlessly flings new laws around like they were confetti is now thinking one move ahead in the chess game?

Has there been a mutation in the creature?

Doesn't the glorious socialist state already have that covered?
After all, the tax overhead from collectivism has been instrumental in destroying the buying power of wages.
(Aggregate taxes are 44% - local, state and federal)
In contrast, back in "evil" pre-socialism, the tax percentage was 0.8% (1910)

As we are seeing more and more same sex couples getting married, i think we'll start seeing demand for adoption go up which may offset the potential increase in unwanted births in this country.

End of Roe v. Wade may overwhelm foster care systems - Axios
Maybe this has a bright side.
1) Women strive harder to take more positive control of their lives.
2) More selective of who they sleep with.
3) Focus more on a career and control of their future.
4) prevent themselves from STD.

The wonderful positive possibilities are endless.

We are taking a lot of undocumented minors and place them in foster care system.

Yet, we can’t do that to American-born children who need foster home?

Something is wrong here

I am betting yes on most of those who are holding signs saying adoption is the answer.
Currently there is no shortage of people wanting to adopt newborns. That may change depending upon the availabilty of abortion.

I believe there is a shortage of people wanting to adopt older children.

Personally while adoption is one possible answer for those who do end up with an unwanted pregnancy the best answer is to take proper precautions if you do not want a baby.

You don't have to tell me about taxes. I'm in favor of lowering taxes - not wasting taxpayer dollars chasing down someone's choice that has, literally, zero effect on my life.

You know darn well that the governments are already planning laws, committees, agencies to hunt down those people who cross state lines to have abortions. Not to mention the wasted tax dollars in lawsuits. Crazy town that people think this is a smart solution. Then on top of that the wasted taxpayer dollars managing to social services aspect of adoptions, kids falling through the cracks, etc.

And once again, Joe Taxpayer (me) is paying for it. Sure is easy to spend someone else's money!

But fear not!
The 2nd amendment will provide the solution.
