Many writers make a living writing clickbait headlines. They are not me. I won’t be either. The following summarizes the article, in relation to its headline.
A Democrat “digital strategist” argues that adoption is more of a “trauma” for would-be parents than KillingPotential adoptees before they’re born. Crazy? Yes. That was obvious. Continue reading.
Democrat strategist Elizabeth Spiers, adopted as an infant, writes in a guest New York Times op-ed that the “trauma” of adoption supersedes any opposition to on-demand abortion — all in response to Wednesday’s oral arguments from Mississippi state attorneys seeking to uphold the state’s 15-week abortion ban.
I wrote about Amy Coney Barrett’s blithe suggestion that no one needs abortion because women who don’t want to be mothers can just give their kids up for adoption and why, as an adoptee, I find that argument abhorrent: https://t.co/53ImpaFJlu

Spiers centered on Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s recurring question:
What is the point of abortion when women do not wish to become mothers and can give up their children for adoption?
Here’s Spiers’s response, right out of the chute:
As an adoptee myself, I was floored by Justice Barrett’s assumption that adoption is an accessible and desirable alternative for women who find themselves unexpectedly pregnant.
She may not realize it, but what she is suggesting is that women don’t need access to abortion because they can simply go do a thing that is infinitely more difficult, expensive, dangerous and potentially traumatic than terminating a pregnancy during its early stages.
America’s naivety is deeply ingrained.

“As an adoptive mother herself,” suggested Spiers, “Justice Barrett should have some inkling of the complexities of adoption and the toll it can inflict on children, as well as birth mothers.”
Um, Ms. Spiers? Here, the key words are Adoptive mother — not Aborting mother
Then, she gets just silly.
She speaks like adoption is a fairytale. In reality, my own adoption was idyllic. Alice and Terry were my adoptive parents from when I was a baby. I grew up knowing that every day I was loved.
A few years ago, I found my biological mother, Maria, and three siblings I didn’t know I had via a DNA test and Facebook.
“The first time I spoke to Maria on the phone … she apologized repeatedly for giving me up and told me she loved me and that I would always be family,” writes Spiers.
She was wrong to apologize for it, which I repeated and will continue to remind her every time the subject comes up. My childhood was wonderful and she made the right decision. However, she is heartbroken by the many years that we have missed.
This is the best part of my job:
I’m no Nobel Prize winner, but I still resent being used as a political football by the right. If a woman needs abortion, she should be able to access it.
More than anything, Justice Barrett suggested that adopting a child is an easy solution. This was something that I felt strongly about.
It is difficult to adopt even if it goes well.
Can you please tell Ms. Please enter your email addressDo not use Take care of yourself as a “political football”? I’ll wait.
This ridiculous woman writes volumes about the “fraught” reality of adoption, yet zero about the fraught reality of a mother killing her preborn child. She also sees no hypocrisy nor contradiction. herself.
“The right likes to suggest that abortion is a traumatic experience for women — a last resort, a painful memory,” Spiers caricatures conservatives.
However, adoption can often be as traumatizing and as painful as the right to abortion. [based on what data?], as a woman has to relinquish not a ‘lump of cells’ but a fully formed baby she has lived with for nine months.
Oh, Please.
Incidentally, Spiers is the mother of a six-year-old “self-proclaimed Fortnight expert.”
“As anyone who has A human being is born to a woman [ROFL emoji] will tell you,” she says, “there is a vast difference between the fourth week of pregnancy and the 40th.” A Brainwashing biological According to her, it doesn’t matter if you want your child to become a parent.
Brainwashed, Ms. Spiers? Please. [See: mirror.]
Let’s get to the bottom
It’s a classic example of the prolifers trying to grab at the hearts of God-fearing, prolife Americans. This is absurd. This will not change any minds. This serves to illustrate further the moral hypocrisy displayed by those who attempt to justify the murder of preborn babies.
You can’t ask for more.
