The article you linked says that "5 percent of practicing Christians in the United States have adopted, which is more than twice the number of all adults who have adopted."
So Christians are more than twice as likely to adopt as anyone else, is that correct? I'm not even Christian but the data does not appear to align with the sentiment you're presenting.
The fact the religious adopt at such a comparatively high rate is actually admirable; that requires a much more significant sacrifice compared to just aborting the baby.
- itake 3y agoI think 5% seems low considering the pro-life stance. I have never heard a Christian say that ("all children must be adopted"), but I have heard that all abortions and IVF are against God. The 5% might not be equally distributed by geography or race. Adoption "supply" might not match Adoption "demand".
