Adoption services president pushes back against media abortion narrative: 'We've got to do something tangible'
Fox News
Lifeline’s Children Services president Herbie Newell spoke with Fox News Digital about the importance of promoting adoption as a viable option against abortion.
"I think it’s because folks are looking at the overturning of Roe v. Wade with the Dobbs decision, and I think for so long we haven’t really seen adoption as a true alternative to abortion. I think in a lot of ways, the pro-choice lobby has done a great job of really making abortion seem like a birth control or some type of pregnancy prevention as opposed to really looking at it," Newell said.

He elaborated, "As a whole, since the Dobbs decision, the mainstream media has either ignored adoption as a legitimate option to an unplanned pregnancy or has taken the view of the Washington Post that adoption is not a viable option that would ever be chosen by a pregnant woman. Both of these routes treat the unborn child as less than and disregard the thousands of women who choose life and adoption annually. Adoption is brave love, it is an unselfish decision that chooses life, hope and opportunity for a baby over death and hopelessness."
