It has come to my attention that Senator, Republican Senator Daniel Patrick of Texas is offering $500 for women to give up their babies for adoption instead of aborting them. Under Patrick’s SB 1567, women would qualify for a $500 payment from the state within 60 days of signing away all parental rights to their newborn children. Does this remind anyone of the cases of sterilization for cash? And what is $500 supposed to cover? You may contact Senator Patrick and tell him what you think here. Oh and let me know if you do and if you get a response back.
