I think it is important to consider roe vs. wade and in particular why that suit was filed from Texas and won. My wife and daughter refer to back-alley abortions and coat-hangers in the hands of the poorly trained. I don’t think that the legacy of that decision is just better medical care.

I lived in Texas at the time Roe vs. Wade was decided and actually old enough to have been a teenager around the time of that decision. Teenage pregnancy was a subject that held my interest at that time and I payed attention. I lived by a small town and went to a small school and yet knew quite a few friends and neighbors involved in pregnancies that were both planned or not. I was well read.

For white girls or hispanic girls who were “Spanish” enough there was an option for unwanted pregnancy, baby selling. There was an assortment of Southern Babtist aligned churches centered in Waco (I think Baylor) who offered homes for unwed mothers. They offered a secluded “home school” for the girl to complete the most visible parts of her pregnancy and access to the church doctor to deliver the baby. In return the girl got sent home, and the church-folks got to sell the healthy white baby to the highest bidder. They were all called adoption fees, but the buyer was also required to join the church in good standing, which meant they had to tithe 10% of their wealth to the church, which were spent by the Jimmy Swaggerts of the era. The one I most remember mentioned was the Edna Gladney school for girls, although the cottages from another are still visible at 620 & IH35 in Round Rock Tx. These baby factories made a lot of money, all of which was tax-free as they insisted that they were only interested in the well being of the adopted white children.

All of this time there was church pressure on the schools to make sure that no information about birth control was available. Guys without a wife could be arrested for possessing a condom. The baby mills had to be filled.

The drive and I think the funding for the anti-abortion crowd still comes from the groups who want to go back to their very profitable baby selling franchises. These churches can’t survive on the tithes that they get from miserable loosers, so they are determined to restore their cash cow.



That is why Roe-vs-Wade was filed, and that is why it was decided for the people. It is a great disservice to the women of Texas (at least) to end this prohibition on the sale of babies.
