One in four foster kids will end up homeless.

up to 3 out of 10 homeless people are foster kids who aged out.

what the fuck.

I thought it was bad enough knowing about the veteran rights.

If you want more statistical horror, look up foster care to prison pipeline

So when conservatives want to ban abortions they are basically trying to increase the flow in this pipeline to get more prison slave labor

Not trying to defend their position but young kids given up for adoption at or near birth are overwhelmingly adopted. There are lines and a whole grey market.

It's kids with shitty parents that get removed after the toddler phase that tend to end up in the system long term.

While this is accurate, most people have a better chance of actually understanding it when you use the full quote.

We live in a world where people have to be convinced to care for and sympathize with those around them.
