(Satire) Overturning Roe should boost domestic supply of infants. Let's also ban condoms and porn.

Like most wholesome Americans, I’m deeply concerned about our domestic supply of infants. I went shopping for one this weekend and couldn’t find a single store that sells them, leading me to believe that once-great infant distributors like TotMart and Bambinos R Us have been driven out of business by radical leftists.

Clearly, something needs to be done, and it appears the U.S. Supreme Court is on the case, so to speak.

The draft opinion that leaked last week showing a majority of Supreme Court justices are poised to overturn Roe v. Wade included a reference to a 2008 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that said, based on data from 2002, “The domestic supply of infants relinquished at birth or within the first month of life and available to be adopted had become virtually nonexistent.”

Talk about a supply chain issue.

made this outlandish suggestion:
Title: "A Modest Proposal
For preventing the children of poor people in Ireland, from being a burden on their parents or country, and for making them beneficial to the publick"

"I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricasee, or a ragoust."

(I was a little shocked to read one paragraph that referenced 'abortions'! I hadn't remembered that.)

"There is likewise another great advantage in my scheme, that it will prevent those voluntary abortions, and that horrid practice of women murdering their bastard children, alas! too frequent among us, sacrificing the poor innocent babes, I doubt, more to avoid the expence than the shame, which would move tears and pity in the most savage and inhuman breast."
