There is another opportunity here for churches to now take the money and focus they had on Roe and apply it to adoption. I have a son and daughter by marriage that is on the adoption train. They are working with Catholic Charities. The average time is 18 months and the cost runs a little below $20,000. Got through a private network and it's at least double that #. While they are caucasian, race isn't a concern to them. Boy or Girl isn't a concern to them. They just want a baby to love and bring up in this world to include in their little family. There are 1,000's of stories like this one out there.

On the other side are a lot of frightened young pregnant woman that, in my opinion, are pushed to abort the child. The ability to adopt should be ramped up, with people working in tandem, just like they did to stop Roe.

Some simple numbers:

From 71 to 2017 - 35 years period

19MM Abortions that were white, average over 544,000 a year.

13.995MM Abortions that were African American, averaging 400,000 a year

10MM of all other ethnicities and races, averaging a little over 300,000 a year.

These are insane numbers. And while the numbers actually dipped under 1MM abortions a year form 2013 to 2017, it still averaged 900,000 a year.

So many couples desperate to become parents and so many young pregnant woman who are desperate for answers and options.

We need to go to God and start working on solutions.

I am grateful that my birth mother (and birth father) surrendered their parental rights, and that my parents who raised me adopted me. I could have grown up in Sheboygan! Instead, I was raised in Newnan, GA.

Many people will now learn about federalism. A new day!

Hadn't considered the point raised in this post.
