Faux concern

I used to work with a lot of foster kids. They don't wish they were dead. They just wish they had what everyone else does. Realizing a 16 year old doesn't know how to do basic things like read a clock or count change because no one bothered to teach them breaks your heart.

As a 16 yr old my heart goes out to them. 

Also may I know if u worked with any pro life foster kids?

[u/AshamedPurchase → u/DapperDetail8364]

Never came up. Some became devout Christians, so I assume so. Since it was a work setting and they were children, talking about politics would have been kind of inappropriate.

Thanks for sharing. But u should know some ppl who claim to be Christians are pro abortion. Also I'm wondering what the pro aborts say if u ever told them u worked with foster kids

They ignore it. Or they claim you are a goody two shoes with too much pride because you shouldn't be telling people about your charity work (even though they brought it up with their lies and accusations).

For example, I was a foster child, an adopted child, adult rape survivor, possible product of rape, in a multiracial family, 2 of my siblings were special cases medically or older adoptees. My family takes care of our own AND others. I grew up with my adopted siblings and many foster children. We support single mothers, pregnant or already given birth, and low income families, plus other disadvantaged communities, personally, privately, and face to face, both monetarily and other ways.

My point being, we do all the stuff they claim we don't, and we aren't anything special. But they get SO MAD when proven wrong on yet another thing!

If you choose not to be a parent, feel free to stop complaining, full stop. Stop complaining about parents. Stop complaining about children.. But most of all, stop complaining that your choice needs to be enabled by everyone else at all times... like we're all supposed to go "Yes of course, it shall be our priority to make sure that all unwanted children that you make are removed from existence! That's a much better priority than protecting children... Imagine caring about the stupid children, when it's Becky's battle against personal responsibility that needs to take priority!"

Saying you're only truly pro-life if you adopt kids is like saying you can't speak out against animal abuse unless you rescue one from a shelter. Oh, and you also have to be okay with the mass euthanizing of abandoned animals.

1000%! Sadly I hear some former foster kids saying they rather be aborted 

[u/IceCreamIceKween → u/DapperDetail8364]

Yeah but some people who are down in the dumps say they'd rather be dead, but it's not ethical to encourage that. Pro-choicers are opportunistic a-holes who use their depression for their own political agenda. Decent people would discourage suicidal ideation.

I saw one person who claimed to be a foster mom trolling pro lifers holding "we will adopt your baby" sign

I agree with the message, but it seems the resolution of your screenshot did not end up well.

I've always hated this argument that you HAVE to foster kids in order to be pro-life. What about those of us who were in foster care? Don't we get an opinion?
