I believe adults should be free to own and carry guns. I believe there should be more prayer in schools, not less.<\/p>\n<p>And I don\u2019t want unelected federal bureaucrats writing laws about the environment or anything else that Congress should be writing.<\/p>\n<p>But the Court\u2019s 5-4 decision last week to overrule <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em> and send the \u201cregulating\u201d of abortion back to the states, where it always belonged, was doubly pleasing to me.<\/p>\n<p>This week when I spoke about abortion and adoption to a group of teenagers at a Young America&#8217;s Foundation event, I repeated something I\u2019ve written and spoken about many times before.<\/p>\n<p>First, I asked the young conservatives to imagine what the world would be like if the person sitting next to them had never been born.<\/p>\n<p>Then I told them the story of Sarah Jean Maysfield, whose family could not afford to have a child and literally left her on the doorstep of a neighbor.<\/p>\n<p>I told them how that neighbor took her in, legally adopted her and changed her name to Sarah Jean Faulks.<\/p>\n<p>I told them about Nancy Robbins. On the day she was born her father walked out on her mother because he didn\u2019t want a child. Nancy was later adopted by the doctor who had married her mother.<\/p>\n<p>So, OK, I asked the kids, what\u2019s the big deal with these unknown \u201cunwanted\u201d babies?<\/p>\n<p>Well, Sarah Jane Faulks was Jane Wyman, an Academy Award-winning actress, the first wife of Ronald Reagan and my mother.<\/p>\n<p>Nancy Robbins, who would be adopted by her mother\u2019s second husband, Dr. Loyal Davis, became Nancy Davis, the actress, second wife of Ronald Reagan and first lady of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>So, I asked the kids, imagine what life would have been like for the Reagan family \u2013 or the world, for that matter \u2013 if these babies had been aborted instead of adopted?<\/p>\n<p>During the half-century of abortion on demand that <em>Roe<\/em> made possible in 1973, an estimated 63 million future Americans were snuffed out.<\/p>\n<p>Disproportionately black and brown lives, no one knows how much good they could have done for themselves, their families and the rest of us if they had been given a chance to live.<\/p>\n<p>Again, I\u2019m proudly pro-life. But I\u2019m also really, really, really pro-adoption.<\/p>\n<p>In post-Roe America, it\u2019s going to be incumbent on those of us who are pro-life to support adoption in every way possible.<\/p>\n<p>We have to be there with our love, our time, our money and our political clout to help all single mothers keep and raise their \u201caccidental\u201d babies. Especially if they are our own daughters.<\/p>\n<p>If the mothers decide they can\u2019t keep their children, we pro-lifers have to work overtime to make sure they will be adopted and don\u2019t end up being victims of our horrible foster care system.<\/p>\n<p>Most important, we pro-lifers need to use our political powers in Red and Blue states to get rid of the overly strict and complicated adoption laws that often make it more difficult and expensive to adopt American babies than foreign ones.<\/p>\n<p>Getting those state laws changed to make adoption easier and more common is the responsible, moral and practical reaction to the end of <em>Roe<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not time to sit back and party because we won the constitutional fight over <em>Roe<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>For pro-lifers, the work to bring more babies into this world alive \u2013 and love and care for them \u2013 has just begun.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| Posted: Jul 02, 2022 12:01 AM  The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1536912","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1536912","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1536912"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1536912\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1536912"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1536912"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1536912"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
