Adoption is not a 'cure' for abortion

Peter Wehner
To recover from its "devastating loss" by not gaining the White House, the Republican party should "demonstrate its commitment to the common good by supporting civil-society groups working to expand adoption," as well as other reforms, writes Peter Wehner in Time magazine. Wehner, a former Republican White House staffer, doesn't explain exactly what he means, or how "expanding adoption" makes for a civil society.

Let us guess. As his current employer, the Ethics and Public Policy Center, bills itself as "Washington D.C.'s premier institute dedicated to applying the Judeo-Christian moral tradition to critical issues of public policy" it is a safe bet that he conflates expanding adoption with reducing abortion.
