Amy Coney Barrett's remark about abortion and adoption today was absolutely reptilian. Does she think the average woman, even one who would choose an abortion, could carry a child for 9 months with no affect on her psyche as well as her body? Most women keep the child. Giving up one's own flesh and blood for adoption is not simple - it is traumatic for both mother & child. Our foster care sytem is dangerous and poorly run. Our social safety net is nothing compared to other wealthy countries. Abortion takes place before any attachment is formed.
