    The analogy doesn’t work because we aren’t talking about forced bodily resource donation. Long term foster care benefits is different when we’re talking about a newborn, especially as they’re particularly at risk of unlawful death.

    If you have a mother who was known to be a risk to children due to her substance misuse and tested positive for opiates after birth, how do you suggest the baby is safeguarded?

      Apparently even if the mother is neglectful because of drugs and the men in her life are beating her and molesting the kids that’s “better” than foster care lmao

      Edit: also apparently being addicted to a substance is the same as… Hiding abortions?

        Yes that situation is the same as “mother ate a poppy seed salad” very smart, definitely not a ridiculous straw man
