What is the best way to respond in a situation in which I am discussing pro-life with someone who is a social worker and is extremely pro-abortion because of all the neglected, abused, and “unwanted” children she is exposed to? Her big line is, “If you want them to have all these babies, who’s going to take care of them? Are YOU going to adopt them all???” Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I need all the ammunition I can get. She is also an ex-Catholic and very anti-religious. Thank you.

you may tell her that there are thousands of prospective parents longing to adopt everyone of those aborted children, and aching with empty arms because their mothers could not take 9 months out of their lives to safely deliver those children to waiting, loving parents.
 
This kind of reminds me of the economists who recently attributed a decline in crime to the past 30 years of abortions. Nothing like a pre-emptive death penalty to get rid of criminals. Her solution for ‘unwanted children’ is the same.
 
Reply to her in exactly the same way you would anyone else. It’s a basic pro-life/ pro-abortion debate. Don’t let her fool you with the “I see these children every day…” baloney.

(Having once been a pro-abortion child & family social worker myself, I believe I am uniquely qualified to label it such!)

If her field is children & families, ask her to site statistics about the ratio of adults hoping to adopt vs. children available for adoption. Here’s a statistic from '88:

“According to the 1988 National Survey of Family Growth there are an estimated 3.3 adoption seekers for every actual adoption.” (That means finalized adoption…right now I can’t find statistics about # of children who move from foster care to adoption-eligible.)

statistics.adoption.com/information/adoption-statistics-hoping-to-adopt.html

statistics.adoption.com/information/adoption-statistics-foster-care-1999.html

So much for the “unwanted” part of the “unwanted children” line.

Suggest that instead of venting her frustration at the innocent unborn, she work to streamline the clogged, nonsensical family court systems all over this country, where biological parents’ rights are supreme & children’s rights to permanency are trampled. Even the very best foster care homes are not the same as a mom & dad. Why do so many Americans adopt from overseas? Because even the legal loopholes they have to jump through internationally are a breeze compared to the American legal system.

Or perhaps she would prefer Peter Singer’s (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Singer ) infanticide method of a 30 day throw away guarantee? That’s if partial-birth abortion is acceptably gruesome enough for her.
 
Um, I also forgot to say: Please tell me you are not her client? If so, she is violating the NASW Code of Ethics in a major way & should be reported up the chain of command immediately.
 
I would say to her,
“Let me get this straight: a lot of parents are bashing or raping their children, or not giving them adequate care, and in order to stop this problem, you want to encourage the parents to KILL the children instead?”

Reminds me of Hitler’s plan for the Jews. If he had succeeded, that would have stamped out anti-semitism in Europe all right.

You may also tell her the proper response to a person who is being abused or in danger of being abused is not to kill them.

“Abortion has been available on-demand for over 30 years. If you’re seeing children who are being abused and neglected today, 30 years later, then it obviously hasn’t helped solve the problem, has it? In fact, abortion may even be contributing to the problem as it puts a zero value on our nation’s children. Look at the abuse statistics of 40 years ago versus those of today. Pretty telling, huh?”

“In any event, as a professional social worker, you know that the problem isn’t the children, it is the lack of participation in the educational system and other available resources, drug abuse and remaining in abusive relationships that are the true factors in child abuse and neglect.”
 
If it’s ok to murder them before they are born, wouldn’t it follow that it would be ok to murder them when they were being “tough on the system”?

Why is it wrong to kill them now- when their parents don’t want them (assuming they are in foster care)? But it is ok to ‘terminate’ them when their parent’s don’t want them at 20 weeks in utero?

For the sake of the sorrowful Passion, have Mercy on us, and on the whole world…

St. Jude’s Ranch, Boulder City Nevada. They’re Episcopalian but they’re 100% pro-child. Their web pages seem to be down at the moment.

How about: If you are neglected, abused and unwanted, should we kill you?

That’s the next step. Euthanasia and assisted suicide.
 
My husband is a social worker and has to deal with these types of attitudes on a daily basis. I feel really bad for him. His way of coping is just to state the truth, and slowly work on changing peoples’ minds with literature, example, and lots of prayer. Good luck!
