If they're roaming the streets and hitting protests to tell the world this, they've probably already been turned down by adoption agencies, which is another red flag entirely
Makx45
That’s another reason why evangelicals are against abortion. Majority of adoption centers and foster homes are run by churches. So is and easy way for them to funnel more children into their church as well as to get tax benefits since they run that as nonprofit.
januarylover
Holding a sign like this should put you on a watchlist.
Cilvaa

fightkostka6
wasnt there a video of guy going to them with adoption papers to fill them, and they very quickly backed out
Shaodyn
Yeah, sure, put even more babies into the already overloaded foster care system. What could possibly go wrong?
Motino
Bet every single one holding those signs is also against same sex couples adopting
trikucian
Which is particularly stupid because there’s a scientific theory that homosexuality occurs naturally so that homosexual couples CAN adopt unwanted kids. We’ve already seen proof of this in penguins and dolphins
TemplarMuse
Some journalist should go interview them, question and track them through the adoption process and if even if they aren't being sincere, that would still be a story.
Homer1691
ah yes, make a publicity stunt out of a young child, there's no way that will go wrong
rainbowsigns
Psst…they don’t want brown babies. They’re racists and hypocrites
rshini
or babies with potential health issues
TCGView
They want a "fresh" one, not one that could bring a load of baggage with them and cause problems. Problem is the longer the kid stays in the system, the worse the baggage gets. It's no wonder so many of them end up with a strong sense of not belonging along with depression. You can't do that to a kid and expect them to be well adjusted.
Shaodyn
To quote George Carlin, "Conservatives want live babies so they can train them to be dead soldiers."
thesmelge
Or to fuck them.
Shaodyn
These days, yeah.
DavidHoag
I would like to see a long list of ex-pro-lifers that either reluctantly had an abortion or gratefully had one. I wonder how many there are.
trikucian
So many “pro-lifers” make their mistresses and daughters get abortions for unwanted pregnancies, you have no idea
KyleButNotThatKyle
Oh, there's plenty, but they won't tell you. My best friend's aunt is a staunch "pro-life" republican. She's also had two abortions.
Starfox5
You can't really expect anything else than hypocrisy from people who think there's an almighty benevolent god who just has to let people suffer and die "for reasons".
adiving
Sure I can, some of em are so damned stupid they can't even reach hypocrisy.
CmdrAdama
Is there a story of any of these couples following through and actually doing it? Or is it just ‘virtue’ signalling?
SubtleOrc
religious people are the problem. period... by an overwhelming amount the bad done by religion outweighs the good
graehall
An all too accurate assessment, they've spent thousands of years gaslighting us with claims of moral righteousness while being terrible
Photeus
If the good did outweigh the bad, and this was demonstrated true, they might actually have some evidence towards their value. But the platters always come full of hate with a side of love to take the edge off. At best, they are no better than any other group of humans morally.
PrastaryOrk
Talk is cheap. Cardboard and markers apparently too.
DeadeicPrints
Didn't one of those couples get tracked down and said like "oh no we didn't actually mean it"?
junkgoof
You mean all of them?
navagon
Well there was that couple with the child rape dungeon. They meant it.
BloodyStupidJohnson
Where's the gif of the guy from Caddyshack, going WELL, WE'RE WAITING?

They want a fresh one
jargonmon
The very COST OF ADOPTION is in and of itself a travesty. I know it's not the point of this post but not enough is being done about this problem. There are so many baren or gay couples who would...if they could afford the up-front price tag.
lovehandlesmessiah
A couple I knew spent over six figures for adoptions from China and the 2nd one got canceled for some reason. Infertility treatments are similarly expensive depending on the method.
kramorp
News Flash: They pay couples to foster. Not enough is being done about adopting kids that aren't babies.
Ezzy666
She doesn't what to put her body through a pregnancy wants to coerce a vulnerable woman into giving up her newborn
glovelyday
"...as long as it's blonde haired, bluee eyed, and perfectly healthy."
angrygardener
I'm not going to judge people who are actually going to adopt for their preferences
glovelyday
But you should. Like the couples pictured do. You should judge especially judge them for their hypocrisy.
angrygardener
Why should I judge them? People are allowed to prefer the race and hair color and eye color and religion of who they date, why should I care that someone is adopting a baby which looks like them?
glovelyday
Does their sign say "only women pregnant with blonde haired blue eyed babies" can't have an abortion? No, they are forcing all women to carry pregnancies to term, solely because of their personsl beliefs, while ignoring the needs and rights of the woman, and not doing anything for the babies and mothers they deem unacceptable. That is hypocrisy.
angrygardener
How are people holding a sign "forcing" anyone to do anything? You are ascribing to people in a meme all that you and many others, myself included, don't like about race and religion.
Cataleast
Performative bullshit. "We're such Good Christians!" GTFOH.
BrickShakes
I look at what their youth pastors and priests do to children and I highly suspect those signs suggest something horrifying.
ArdentSlacker
They want a slave, and they will absolutely abuse any child they get ahold of, and they will say it is part of their religion. These are not and never were good people.
Drunkfu
Or that there's a real good reason they cant adopt from the foster system
paintingagency
A stifling, shame-driven Evangelical upbringing at the very least.
MauriceSpangle
They fail the vetting process and have to resort to trying to get one directly via signs they hold at random places
adognamedpumpkin
I worked with a foster kid whose parents adopted him from a Russian orphanage. His case was wild.
GigiDundas
Not that any of this is relevant to the post or the comment you replied to but if the child was adopted from Russia then he was never a "foster kid" unless his adoptive parents lost or released him to the foster system at some point.
NiftyGoblin
So many kids get adopted overseas then abandoned after a few years with their "families" because even though the vetting process is monsterously hard here in the US its for this reason that kids arnt given to people who are going to just give them up.
Taxicat
I think that’s exactly what they meant: his parents adopted him from Russia and then proceeded to demonstrate exactly why they were denied an adoption in the US system.
TheInternetNeedsMoreCats
This makes me sad.
adognamedpumpkin
@Taxicat is correct. International adoption to two parents who should not have been allowed to.
JAPONfan
those 400k babies are already preowner babies. they want fresh out of the womb, with the vagina graese on babies. Fresh from the factory. Touched only by the, chosen by them, doctors.
DoomSquirter
vagina greese? *spit take* now wait a minute. that makes sense. thinking of the lube job jokes and all that. squeaky clitoris too
LoopStricken
Flesh from the factory.
ElbowDeepInAJedi
... vagina grease? I love LNI as much as the next person but I hate that you made me read that with both of my eyes. +1, as is custom.
prfesser
Because it's so much easier to indoctrinate a child when you can start from scratch. Some of those preowner kids might have weird ideas about compassion, kindness, and other traits that are horrifying to christofascists.
Fengor
It's well known that babies lose about 30% of their value as soon as you drive them off the lot, and some model years are defective.
yesdearmetoo
til a new phrase, vagina grease.
komododave
*graese
METROlD
Fresh baby with extra vagina grease. Yeahhhhh.
rshini
And only white babies, newborns with no disabilities - all those foster care children are damaged goods and too dark for these guys.
gumshoe99
All organic, gluten free, non-gmo vaginal grease
lovehandlesmessiah
I think the proper term is “wombricant,” op

RoYoMi
Is there a problem with wanting one new right out of the package?
angrygardener
Apparently for Imgurians there is, you're not allowed to have preferences for a child you're willingly adopt and raising for at least the next 18 years old because apparently otherwise you're a racist. Average Imgurian couldn't take care of a pet cat and would certainly be barred from adopting a baby into their mom's basement, but that won't stop them from judging random people and assuming they are being disingenuous with their signs.
CommentsThisTimeLastYear
But those 400,000 aren't the baby they want.
Mattnader
They are new borns
SavageDrums
They don't actually want to adopt a baby.
theDogter
Not perfect from either a vegetarian 25 year old in perfect health, or the opposite, so broken they can brag about how THEY saved it.!

They aren't babies and or white
Someshithead241
People want to make it about race, but a lot really do want a 'fresh' baby they can raise from a start, indoctrinate. Not a kid with a personality that might disobey
Theory89
The two are very different. Many people find it harder to imagine bonding with an older child, or that they can't shape in their own image from the start. It doesn't have to be a cynical thing about indoctrination. In the UK, you get paid to be a Foster. If I couldn't have kids I think I'd probably still want a baby. They're awesome. And no, I'm not even slightly religious.
Someshithead241
Indoctrination is more than just religious
Theory89
And not all patenting is indoctrination. Some people actually teach their children to ask questions but trust science and professionals.
JesaraB
While your point is Also true, it is very explicitly noted that white babies are adopted out at a Much higher rate than other races and for profit adoption agencies even charge more money for them.
Someshithead241
Oh I have no doubt about that. But what I mean is its not *exclusively* about race.
TairyHesticals
Something about for profit adoption agency doesn't sit right with me.
boostcreep
Everything about it doesn’t sit right with me.
JesaraB
Oh yeah they are Literally human trafficking, selling children to people, even if they frame it otherwise and claim altruistic purposes.
nangke
I wonder how many of those for profit agencies are also religion-based
BosunMark
The fetus is half black, half hispanic. We're gay jews..still gonna adopt?
HIVp0sit1ve69
Depends.
TheUnstoppableWampas
Dude, they won't even adopt them if they're all white. There are plenty of all kinds of different races of kids waiting, hoping to be adopted. The point is they're lying though their teeth, and the evidence is that there are already kids that need adoptive parents and these lying chucklefucks are adopting jack shit.
Putitinyomama
I dunno what’s his 40 time?

My shitty take on this is to legalise abortion for ugly babies - that way the racists that just might want beautiful, zero-defect, white babies don't have to pretend they will adopt and everyone that wants an abortion can get one...
Rayxzerox
"Abortion for ugly babies" Well I've never seen a baby that wasn't ugly at least some of the time, so that sounds like an open ban.
SheepySleepySmuggler
Ok, so now the downvotes make sense - I didn't make it clear that abortion was an option rather than mandatory. The intention was to allow abortion because the baby would be "too ugly" to be adopted by the sign carriers as a way of addressing their empty concerns
thelazyninja
This sounds an awful lot like that post-birth abortion DeShitStains was lying about.
SheepySleepySmuggler
My (shitty) plan would be a tick box on the abortion form that the baby would be ugly. I'm not suggesting waiting for the birth.
Trankia12
Or just legalize all abortion, so that we have our basic human rights. These nutjobs don't really want to adopt, they just want to convince us it's ok to have a right taken away.
SheepySleepySmuggler
But isn't that the desired situation versus the actual situation in places where we see these protests? How does this change the minds of the "nutjobs"?
Trankia12
No, the desired situation is we have all our rights. As for changing their minds, it's impossible. We just have to outvote them. Most people don't vote, but we need everyone to vote, that's how we beat them!
SheepySleepySmuggler
So we agree on the desired outcome but have different approaches to those that do not agree with the approach - treating opponents views as impossible to change has resulted in the current standoff, my shitty take is to undermine the basis of their position

They actually burn a baby i twilight? Only saw the first and it's seem totally out of tone with that movie
Trankia12
It was from the last movie, haven't seen it myself, but from the comments when I stole this gif it was apparently because the baby was a halfbreed of wolfboy and vampgirl, so it's an abomination, as if they're not already all monsters.

Why did I think GoT?
MoonPieTown
Because I think something similar kinda happened in GoT (not sure if it was the books or movie) Stannis had a thing about burning ppl as sacrafices..children not excluded.
