Adopting and fostering is a huge status symbol among high-profile antis. And really, hypocrisy is not a gotcha for them.

Many antis will offer to adopt right there when they’re yelling at patients. Saying they should adopt buys into their belief that adoption is a solution to abortion, when abortion is not something that needs a solution or alternative.
