    Whatever the intent of the abortion industry may be, by functional standards, abortion is a racist institution. In the United States, black children are aborted at nearly four times the rate as white children and Hispanic children don't fare much better.

    This article describes the various ways that POC are treated differently. This can cause doctors to provide the wrong treatment or no treatment for the minority who don't have access to healthcare.

    The fact that we continue to face and see discrimination when it comes to health care is appalling. When dealing with health, health care providers should not be biased on who to help due to their skin color or certain characteristics.

    There is no reason why there should still be discrimination in health care, they're saving your life regardless of your color.

    I can not believe that people really place ads on Craigslist pretty much giving away or selling their children like pets. This article shows real ads that were placed to basically get rid of their children just the same as one would sell a dresser. Not only does this actually happen it is LEGAL!

    This insane and wrong! I cannot believe this actually happens. How can you give your child to a random person with out getting a professional background check. This article blows my mind.

    Just reading the title of this article made me cringe however, after reading the details, some of the proponents viewpoints made sense. They pointed out when adoptive parents post ads on Craigslist it is considered networking but when a mother posts her ad looking for these adoptive parents it is viewed as baby selling. My personal opinion is that it is sad; hopefully for our society, this does not become the norm.

    As mentioned by Jacob, ^ the points mentioned in the article do make sense; however, I believe that the issue lies within the fact that people are profiting by giving away a life and that it is a site that can be accessed by anyone with internet access, creating a major safety hazard. It is tragic to see that these things exist and it definitely ought to be addressed and stopped immediately.

    Placing an add for adoption on craigslist sounds extremely unsafe. I really cannot understand how it is legal. I understand making a choice of adoption but craigslist of all places?

    This is just insane. It's unbelievable how something like this can be legal. Kids aren't pets or an object to be selling or giving away in a website. Although, towards the end of the article it does make a valid point, what makes us think that it's right for agencies to profit and make money out of these adoptions?

    I didn't know this was real until I met someone that sold their child to a family in Italy. I can't imagine selling my kids. What is even more sad is that these people don't even know if their baby is really being cared for or placed in sex trafficking or the black market for some sickos.

    Thirty years after San Antonio v. Rodriguez and 60 years after Brown v. Board of Education, we still remain in the same position. Parents such as Tanya Mcdowell and Kelley Williams-Bolar want to send their children to a better school so they feel they need to break the law and lie about their kid's registration and they become convicted felons. Even though the matter of blacks v. whites is becoming better, the issue of rich v. poor has reached high levels.
