for fuck's sake
This is beyond surreal. I had to check the date to make sure that it wasn't April 1, and this wasn't a spoof in the Onion. I feel ill. It's not just the whole idea of selling babies, which is reprehensible and icky and all of those things. It's that for all of their "pro-life" policies, human life is valued so cheaply. $500? Are you fucking kidding me? Because of course, you don't want to make it financially lucrative to have a baby--I mean, what's it worth? The 9 months of pregnancy, labor and delivery, the potential health risks. It's worth $500? It's really slavery. Of course it's slavery. Why am I surprised? These people have so little respect for women's lives that they are willing to virtually enslave women to make sure that there are little babies available for adoption. What next? The re-establishment of the lebensborn program?
