informative reflective medium-paced

No matter how much reading or education you believe you have completed about intersectional topics and anti-racism, I think this is a must read.

“anyone can be a hypocrite including those who claim to rescue children via adoption. does that mean that everyone who adopts a child with a disability is doing so from a cynical place? absolutely not. 

but there are some very real problems with the way that anti-choice groups will use children as props in their campaigns.

they bolster their arguments by adopting children with disabilities, tell purple prose latent stories about the miraculous love they have found by saving those children, and then vote for the candidates who will remove services for disabled people from their communities.

more concerned with their public messaging than any real change, they undermine the healthcare access that might provide the best chance for an independent, fulfilling life for people with disabilities.”
