Show Notes

This episode FiredUp takes on the anti-abortion debate from a very different perspective. We pose the question "What happens to the children that will be born if there is no Federally protected right to abortion?"Withe more than 350,000 abortions performed in the US on average per year, what happens to the percentage of children that are NOT raised by their mothers or family? Will they be placed into the adoption system? There are already over 117,500 children currently waiting to be adopted in this country every year. What if another 100-150,000 children are added into the system? Steve brings his perspective as an adopted child into the discussion. Do we "assign" parents for these children? Perhaps the people who spend there energy protesting abortion should have a child assigned to the,. Interesting thoughts from the perspective of an adopted child noe grown up.

 
We also review the confirmation hearings for Judge Katanji Brown Jackson focussing on the political theater that played out live. How did this confirmation compare to the hearings for the prior three Justices (Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett). The Republican members showed their hypocrisy, on one hand heaping praise for Judge Jackson then proceeding to  rake some of her past opinions and positions over the political coals. While her confirmation is likely considering the Democrats have all of their caucus on board, the hope is for a bi-partizan approval if 4 or 5 Republicans join them.
