A tried and true approach to soften the harsh stand of the most radical pro-abortion politicians has been to be an advocate for adoption.
Jim Edgar did it. Adoption was Brenda’s pet cause.
Now 8th congressional district U.S. Representative Melissa Bean is following a similar path.
Bean proposed an annual $2,000 tax credit (that would be subtracted from the bottom line of one’s tax bill, I believe) for families who adopt children 9 and older.
There is already a one-time $11,390 tax credit, according to the Waukegan News-Sun article by Judy Masterson.
Nothing wrong with the proposal.
Something like the Illinois law to allow women to take a newborn to a firehouse, no questions asked.
But, it certainly fits the template for those who are supported by NARAL, Personal PAC and Emily’s List.
Vote against legislation to protect unborn babies, but promote adoption.
