(3,526 posts)....intend to step up and adopt one of the thousands upon thousands of unwanted babies in orphanages all across the country.
Without any pause, I then ask them when they expect to put together legislation at the grassroots level to make it MUCH easier to adopt an American baby, especially kids who are the product of rape and/or incest.
Additionally, I ask them if they intend to couple that legislation with language that makes it MUCH more difficult for US citizens to adopt (basically buy) a baby overseas.
Just to drive in the last nail in the conversation I ask them to quote an exact word-for-word verse from the Bible claiming that all life begins at the moment the egg is fertilized. I personally don't recall any language like that in the Bible, but maybe I'll get surprised one day.
The "discussion" usually ends at that point.
