In the leaked Roe V Wade reversal draft, Alito included a citation that referenced a CDC report that said almost 1 million women were seeking to adopt children in 2002 ( actual words included “they were in demand for a child”),but the domestic supply of infants relinquished at birth and available for adoption had become almost zero.The media claimed nothing to see here as Alito was referring to Safe Haven laws. Well…this Baby Scoop Era adoptee says Alito, MAGA and the broligarchs are planning for Baby Scoop Era II.
“We’ve been here before, of course—most recently in the decades from 1945 to 1973, now known as the “Baby Scoop” era, when more than 1.5 million pregnant girls and women in the U.S. were sent away to maternity homes to surrender children in secret.
By the 1960s, more than 200 homes for unmarried pregnant women were operating across 44 states. Parents, often counseled by religious leaders, sent their daughters away to these homes to wait out their pregnancies and relinquish their babies to “legitimate” married couples. Meanwhile, the young men who shared equal responsibility for the pregnancies typically carried on with their lives unfettered by social stigma.“
I've thought about that and the MAGAs will do the same as they won't feed, raise, educate and train the numerous excess unwanted kids that are produced. There will be a generation of emotionally stunted mentality damaged kids like in Romanian Orphanages.
The concern of a low birth rate was one of Nikolai Ceaușescu’s priorities.

The parallels between his programs and the aims of Project 2025 and the MAGA senators and representatives are apparent.
This is only one of the articles on his other programs.

Baby Scoop Era? I am not familiar with this term.

Wow. Thanks for the link. It’s inhumane how mothers and babies were treated.
