What if the anti-abortion movement

[Deep State Witch]

was actually created to keep the supply of "disposable children" going into the pedo pipeline? I went down the rabbit hole this morning watching a YT video of a woman from Belgium who was trafficked during the late 60's and early 70's. She was considered a "disposable child" because she was born out of wedlock, and her mother eventually married the mayor of their small town. She was sold by her mother into a Belgian pedo ring.

What if the people who were funding the "unwed mother homes" during the 60's realized that the growth of birth control and abortion were going to limit the supply of disposable children? So, they work with the religious right to start this movement to prevent women from controlling when they bore children? I mean, it's a nightmare scenario, but plausible.

1. I think it's probable...

What happens to all those babies given up for adoption where the birth mother has no contact? And refugees and all those kids taken from their parents/guardians at the border, there quite a list of possibilities.

2. Exactly

That's what I was wondering, too.

5. Not to mention...

Those children who are orphaned, or not, during natural disasters where 'church' groups go and swoop them up. Some were caught trafficking them back when Puerto Rico had the hurricane devastation.

3. Doctors/nurses/midwives who said the baby died so they could sell it.

Religious schools/orphanages where the children were molested.
Unwed mother homes (again church run) where the mothers and children were abused and worse.
Politicians who did not care about abortion until an anti-abortion stance could bring in more votes.

Your theory might be a little far-fetched but not that far.

4. True story of stolen children for starters

'Oranges And Sunshine,' But Both Of Them Lies

If anyone could be expected to stake out the angels' side of a social issue, it would be a son of Ken Loach, so it's no surprise that Jim Loach's first feature tackles one of the biggest social scandals of the past century. Oranges and Sunshine, based on the 1994 book Empty Cradles by Nottingham social worker Margaret Humphreys, deals with the fallout from the forced — and largely secret — migration of English children to Australia beginning in the 17th century and lasting, astonishingly, until the 1970s.

All in all, a staggering 130,000 children were shipped to the back of beyond, most of them working-class kids whose young, single mothers were told that they had been adopted by "better" families. (The children, many as young as 4, were told they were orphans.) But instead of the oranges and sunshine they were promised, many encountered horrific abuse and deprivation, mostly at the hands of youth-oriented Catholic ministries like the Christian Brothers.

"We built stations of the cross," says one traumatized survivor. "But who was crucified?" We'd all like to know the answer to that one.

6. I feel this is where the anti-abortion movement began

7. What really dried up the supply of white babies in the adoption industry

was less abortion and contraception as it was those young women were choosing to keep their babies. This began to be more and more common in the late 1960s and early 1970s even before Roe v. Wade and Eisenstadt v. Baird.

There is no turning back the clock--ever.

Currently, 40 percent of all babies born in the US are born to unmarried women or cohabiting couples. The adoption industry has to make do with a dwindling supply.

8. Reading your OP

I immediately thought of Marc Dutroux, the Belgian killer, rapist and pedophile who is apparently still imprisoned in solitary confinement, which is far too good for him. He was caught in 1996 so you may heve heard of him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Dutroux.

I don't think the premise of a constant supply of young girls is too far fetched. Maybe it's conscious, maybe not; just a lizard brain reaction to their own needs.

11. She May Have Known Him

Sounds like she was sold into the same circles, but her experience was more in the early 70's.

9. I don't think so

However, it's very likely that the anti-abortion movement and the private adoption industry are conjoined.

10. And what part does Betsy Devoss's adoption agencies play?
