So you adopt children in care? Or at least financially support them?
That's a bad argument, here's what I use, and I wear a "Jesus is Pro-choice" shirt:
if God gave Adam the choice to kill 110 billion unborn people(and also an absurd number of 'unborn babies') then do you think you're better than God?
What right do you have to stop someone from making a choice God let Adam take?
From there they usually take a "so do you think we shouldn't prosecute crimes? God made killing against the 10 commandments" stance etc etc you just need to keep going back to God doesn't stop anyone from sinning(imo it's still a sin but for reasons(not killing babies) that don't matter as it's irrelevant to being Pro-choice) so you shouldn't either.
Any discussion of making something legal or illegal is solely on the state. It shuts up anyone who is engaging in bad faith, like our commentor above.
Theres a long line for adoption genius, this isnt taking immigrants into homes. Actual strawman has entered the chat, well done.
For fresh babies yeah. But what about all the other kids that need care. Who come from homes where they weren't wanted and blamed for ruining their parents lives (falsity of the statement notwithstanding) and now are in foster care past their best by date and have scars from the home that was forced to have them. You helping to take care of them?
