Modern conservative Pro-Life institutions are all bound up in the for-profit adoption system. They are quite literally setting up a free market for children, run out of the backs of Christian church centers as “charity” institutions.
Which is extra frustrating, because I know people who have tried to obtain employment in Social Services as a sector. The pay is absolutely shit on its face. The agencies are all dodgey as hell. The public system is fatally fucked and far more concerned with punishing people than helping them (because punishing people can be made more profitable).
The only way to do any amount of good works is to go fishing in pursuit of the least-degenerate private sector charity outfits. And even then, you’re talking about long hours for shit pay, in a system that really really really wants you to operate as a kickback program for a political affiliate.
